Message counting
Count members' messages, leave channels or roles out, and give roles at message milestones.
InviteCount counts the messages each member sends. Counts feed the messages leaderboard and the reward roles: roles given when a member reaches a number of messages.
Message counting is always on and free. Only the role whitelist needs Premium.
When a message counts#
A message counts when:
- it is not sent within the delay after the member's previous counted message;
- it is not in an excluded channel (a thread follows its parent channel);
- its author is not an excluded member and has no excluded role;
- on a premium server with a whitelist, its author has one of the whitelisted roles.
The bot only counts messages. It doesn't read or keep what they say.

Reward roles#

| Remove the lower rewards | When a member reaches a higher reward, the lower reward roles they had are removed. | ✓ | ✓ |

The bot gives roles below its own role only. Roles with moderation or administrator permissions are refused.
