Verify message

Most servers have a #verify channel with a message and a button in it. Cove posts that message for you, and the button does exactly what /verify does.

​

Building it

Settings → Verification, at the bottom of the page. Cove adds the Verify with Cove button itself. You don’t place it and it can’t be removed — a verify panel without a working verify button is a picture.

​

The attribution button

Customise the panel and Cove adds a second, disabled button reading:

This message was issued by YourServer. Verification should go through coveapp.cc.

It isn’t decoration. A panel restyled to look like something else is exactly what somebody phishing your members would post, and this is how a member tells the real one from a copy. The default panel doesn’t carry it, because there is nothing to distinguish it from.

​

Sending and re-sending

Press Send and choose a channel. Editing the panel afterwards does not rewrite the message already posted — send it again to publish the new version. A message people have already read shouldn’t change underneath them.
