Infractions improvements

• Warns should be logged to the mod-log
• There should be a note infraction thst doesn't count towards a user's infraction count (and maybe isn't shown in the search in public channels?)
• We should be able to submit images for infractions, including by attaching them directly to the command message when creating one

Bullet 2 has been addressed by the shadow infractions, specifically by !shadowwarn and its !note alias.

Are the first and third bullet points still desired? Ideas similar to the third have been floated in recent history but no consensus was reached.

bullet 1 should definitely be addressed, if it's not already.

bullet 3 I'm not so sure. jchrist introduced images to tags, but nobody used it even a single time. As for images for infractions, I think our last discussion landed on "why not just use imgur?", which is still my opinion. As soon as we start adding images to our database, it's gonna end up being a lot of data, and I don't want us incurring data limits and additional costs without a really good reason.

1. is addressed with Add mod log event for member warn & shadowwarn #233.

Regarding 3), I don't think we'd have data size issues with infraction images. Usually just text is enough anyways.

We've talked on and off about the third bullet point (submit images for infractions) but I don't think a consensus has been reached. Do we need this?

I don't think so. It could be useful to document DM conversations better, but I've never really missed it as a feature. You can usually retrieve the relevant context/screenshot using the chat history itself, located based on the infraction date.

One can just post the image in the mod channel, copy the url and use an inline link within the reason:
check [this image](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/464905259261755392/644886455243636736/d2ap7cyb1xj31.png) to see the terrible thing

Doing this renders perfectly fine in infr history and it won't involve uploading images anywhere other than the discord channel (which we usually do anyway when getting context for things such as dms).

Due to the above, and the fact that this has dragged on for so long without any strong feelings to ensure it's added, I'm going to close the ticket.
