/track

Traces a synced message back to its original author and server. This is useful for moderation — if you see a problematic message, you can find out who originally sent it and in which server.

Usage

/track

Permissions

  • Everyone — Any server member can use this command

What It Does

  1. Prompts you to provide a message link to a synced message in the current channel
  2. Orax looks up the message in its database
  3. Returns information about the original message:
    • Original author — Username and user ID
    • Original server — Server name
    • Original channel — Channel name
    • Original message — Content preview

Example

/track > Message link: https://discord.com/channels/123/456/789

Bot response:

🔍 Message Trace

Original author: JohnDoe (ID: 123456789) Original server: Server Alpha Original channel: #general Sent at: 2024-01-15 14:30:22 UTC

Tracking only works for messages sent within the last 30 days (the data retention window).

Use Cases

  • Moderation — Identify who sent an inappropriate message
  • Attribution — Find the original author of a forwarded or relayed message
  • Investigation — Determine which server a message originated from
