Admin Setup

Each user who wants to use the eBay Snipe Monitor needs their own dedicated thread channel. Moonitor delivers snipe alerts exclusively to the user's registered thread. The monitor works for both Pokémon TCG cards (with automatic TCGPlayer profit matching) and any other item (using price range filters).


Prerequisites

  • Moonitor must be in your server with Send Messages and Read Message History permissions.

  • Admin commands require the Manage Server permission.


Admin: Create a Forum Channel

Before users can get started, you need to create a Forum Channel — this is the only channel type where users can create their own threads (posts).

  1. In your server, click Add Channel.

  2. Select Forum as the channel type.

  3. Name it something like #snipe-monitor and place it in an appropriate category.

  4. Make sure members have Send Messages permission in the forum (this allows them to create posts/threads).

Snipe commands only work inside threads. Running them in a regular channel will return an error.


Automatic Cleanup

During periodic maintenance Moonitor validates each user's registered thread:

  • Thread deleted or archived → registration cleared; user stops receiving alerts.

  • User removed from thread → registration cleared.

To restore, re-add the user to a thread and have them run $snipe add again.


Best Practices

  • Create a dedicated Snipes category and make one thread per user.

  • Keep thread names consistent (e.g. snipes-memes) for easy management.

  • Archive threads for inactive users — cleanup handles the rest automatically.
