Channel Management

Lock channels, purge messages, nuke channels, and manage pins.

Overview

pom’s channel management commands give you precise control over your server’s text channels. Whether you need to lock a channel during a raid, clean up spam, completely reset a channel, or manage pinned messages, these tools cover it all.

---

Lockdown

Prevent members from sending messages in a channel. This modifies the @everyone role’s channel permissions to deny message sending, thread creation, and thread messaging.

Syntax

,lockdown [channel]

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
channel	Channel mention	No	The channel to lock. Defaults to the current channel

Aliases: ,lock

You need the Manage Channels permission to use lockdown commands.

Unlock

Restore message sending permissions in a locked channel.

Syntax

,unlock [channel]

Aliases: ,unlockdown, ,rmlockdown

---

Purge

Delete messages in bulk from the current channel. You can purge all recent messages or filter by a specific member.

Syntax

,purge <amount> [member]

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
amount	Number	Yes	How many messages to delete (up to 100)
member	User mention	No	Only delete messages from this member

You need the Manage Messages permission to use this command. Discord only allows bulk-deletion of messages less than 14 days old.

Use ,purge 100 @bot-name to quickly clean up bot spam, or ,botclear for an even faster approach.

---

Bot Clear

Quickly clean up bot messages and the command invocations that triggered them. This is a convenience command designed specifically for tidying up after bot interactions.

Syntax

,botclear [amount]

You need the Manage Messages permission to use this command.

---

Nuke

Clone the current channel and delete the original. This effectively “resets” the channel — same name, topic, permissions, and position, but with a completely clean message history.

,nuke

This is irreversible. All messages in the channel are permanently deleted. The channel is recreated with the same settings, but the message history is gone forever.

You need the Manage Channels permission to use this command.

---

Term

Similar to nuke, but the original channel is archived privately instead of deleted. The channel is recreated clean, and the old channel with its message history is moved to a private archive.

,term

You need the Manage Channels permission to use this command.

Use ,term instead of ,nuke when you want to reset a channel but keep the old messages accessible to staff for review.

---

Pin & Unpin

Pin or unpin a message in the current channel. You can either reply to the message you want to pin, or provide a message ID.

Pin

Syntax

,pin [message_id]

Reply to a message and type ,pin, or pass the message ID directly. pom shows which pin slot the message occupies (e.g., “Pinned as pin #5”).

Unpin

Syntax

,unpin [message_id]

You need the Manage Messages permission for pin commands. Discord allows a maximum of 50 pins per channel.

---

Snipe Management

Control the snipe system, which remembers recently deleted messages.

Clear Snipe

Clear the snipe cache for the current channel, removing all stored deleted messages.

,clearsnipe

Disable Snipe

Disable the snipe system entirely for your server. When disabled, pom will not track deleted messages.

,disablesnipe

You need the Manage Messages permission for snipe management commands.
