Actually, @victornpb , not sure if you are OK with this behavior (i.e auto-unarchive). Bug #516 seems to suggest a user would not expect this behavior, so maybe we need to either explicitly document it or offer it as an option? (Personally: If I want to wipe my messages from a channel, I would want to wipe from threads under it as well.) |

Currently, if a thread is archived, we just skip those messages. Instead, we can try and unarchive the thread, then delete messages (this is what discord does if you right-click & delete a message in an archived thread - first unarchive, then delete).
Since the while loop already attempts twice, if we fail due to archived, we can:
RETRY, so caller fn will try and delete againThis can help people delete more messages.
Additionally, while implementing this I found a bug in system messages - Thread started messages (type
21) are not deletable (as per Discord, see: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#message-object-message-types)Updated the
filterlogic to be<=20so 21 is not counted.
