Make bots able to remove embed hide option

So, since the new X button on embeds that allows embed content to be hidden, people just seem to do this and then constantly ask me where have their embeds gone, in which I respond that they have used the X button next to them.

This is getting annoying as my bot relies on embeds for some of its main purposes. So I am requesting an option for bots to be able to send an embed message through the API but with a tag that disallows the X button to appear on that certain embed to stop people being able to hide it.

    That would be unfair so if your bot or any post a nsfw thing it can’t be removed, so people will most likely dislike your bot then. I suggest a option or permission for servers will be enough

    Your point is completely invalid. The X button for embeds in servers require you to have permission to do so in the server (I believe that it requires Manage Messages) and thus you would be able to just delete the message instead.

     

    On top of this, "if your bot or any post a nsfw thing it can’t be removed" (Quote from above) it still would be able to be deleted anyway. It is just a right click and left click away on "Delete Message", no huge changes here. It will be exactly how is was before, no different. The X button is just a more ineffective way of "Deleting" the message, in which it actually doesn't, as it only hides the embed, but not the actual message sent by the bot, so you would still have to right click and hit "Delete Message" to fully remove the message...

    As well as this, why would a bot post NSFW content in a non-NSFW channel? That would just be asking for your account & bot to be banned from discord.
