I’d love to request an optional parameter for the Pin Message endpoint that prevents Discord from sending the automatic system message.
Why? (Context)
At https://github.com/TicketsBot-cloud, have i been working on allowing the welcome message to be pinned when a ticket is created. The problem is that many users find the system message
<bot name> pinned a message to this channel. See all pinned messages.very spammy and annoying. And honestly, I understand why.Current Workarounds (Not Ideal)
The only possible approaches right now aren’t great:
Fetch and delete system messages
Listen for message events and delete system messages automatically
Proposed Solution
As the title suggests, adding a simple optional parameter to the Pin Message endpoint, would solve this cleanly.
This would allow bots to pin messages quietly without triggering the system message.
This small addition would massively improve UX for bots that handle channel management, ticketing, and automated setups and would require less calls.
