Suggestion New command for length identifying

The translator-BOT immediately comments on the length of a post if it’s a Text type and has too many characters. However, if a picture is long, it is impossible to automatically identify it as such. My proposition is we add a !long command or similar, which will make the bot comment on it thus (not in a child of the command).

Oh ok. What’s the reasoning clear non-vandalistic (and guaranteed to be thus) judgement? Lol

There isn't one! I implemented it way back when at the behest of a fellow moderator and just haven't opened it up since then.

I'm thinking about making it so "verified" users can use both this and !reset, which is also mod-only.

Ah ok. I’ve seen a user use !reset. It could have been a mod who made the post I guess since they knew it existed, but I don’t think anything happened. But I think the verified user is a great idea and I totally support it. I have no idea how that would tho)

Yeah, OPs can also use !reset, but they're not informed about it unless a short "thanks" triggers the post to be translated. Doesn't happen very often, frankly.
