Feature Request: System Messages

[theAstarrr]

Is it possible to read system messages, such as "theAstarrr just showed up" or "Person started a call that lasted X hours"?

System messages are not stored in the database. I have a plan for storing them, but it's most likely not happening this year.

how's that coming? i definitely would like to log that as well.

I've had long-term plans for how DHT could store Discord's raw JSON data, or something close to it, to support system messages and many other message features. However, it would probably become a new separate version of DHT that would not be compatible with current archives, and with no official way to migrate. I simply don't have the time and motivation to work on DHT for anything other than what I need it to do.

well that's a shame because discordchatexporter already implemented logging call starts and their end times as a message for the user who started them. it's just that it's significantly more dangerous to use that over this one. :\
