With my eyes I've seen people get pinged, and the message get deleted right away. I understand how nerve-wracking this is.

A bot can detect if a message gets deleted with a user ping, and send a message to the channel with both the user that was pinged and the user that made the ping. There are bots in existence that do this already.

This instills accountability to the pinger and discourages such a thing, and also gives the pinged peace of mind, in understanding why they have a ping, but no message.

This honestly would be a good idea if our community had a lot of instances like this/harboured an environment where trolling behaviour is welcome and goes without consequence... but consider we aren't that kind of community, there isn't a need to add a bot/feature that only detects this thing.

If you or anyone else is experiencing random ghost pings, just @ a Community Host online and ask them to check for you, we have logs for it. We're not going to expose people for pinging others and deleting it because it could well be an accident.
