What Newt stores
- Server settings — your configuration for every feature: log channels, welcome messages, autorole lists, role panels, automod rules, and so on.
- Join and leave records — a record of when members joined and left, used to calculate retention figures. No message content is involved.
- Ratings — the score each member gave your server via the survey. One score per member; a new vote replaces the old one rather than stacking.
- Moderation cases — every ban, kick, timeout, warning, and note issued through Newt’s commands, with who did it, who it was done to, the reason, and when.
- Role panels — the panels and their button configurations, so they keep working after restarts and updates.
- Survey reminder log — a record of which reminders were sent and how many members each one reached, used by
/logging reminders.
- No message content. Newt never reads or stores the text of messages sent in your server.
- Deleted media is never written to a database. When the deleted media log is active, Newt downloads a copy of an image or video while the message still exists and holds it briefly in memory so it can be re-posted to your log channel. That copy is never saved to any database and is gone as soon as it’s been forwarded — or shortly after if the message was already gone.
