Important Notes
This command can be used for both active and inactive (completed) auctions
Only server administrators have access to this command
The list is limited to the top 10 bidders to maintain privacy and manage data display
Bidders are sorted primarily by bid amount, from highest to lowest
In case of tied bid amounts, the earlier bid takes precedence (first come, first served)
Display Format
For each bidder, you'll typically see:
Bidder's Discord username or ID
Their highest bid amount
Timestamp of the bid (useful for understanding tie-breakers)
Use Cases
Monitor auction participation and engagement
Identify highly active bidders
Verify auction integrity and fairness
Assist in resolving any disputes or issues related to bids
Bid Ranking and Tiebreakers
Bids are primarily ranked from highest to lowest amount
When two or more bidders have the same bid amount:
The bidder who placed their bid earlier is ranked higher
This "first come, first served" principle ensures fair ranking in case of ties
The timestamp of each bid is crucial for determining order in tied situations
Privacy and Ethical Considerations
Use this information responsibly and in accordance with your server's rules and privacy policies
Avoid sharing bid information publicly to maintain the integrity of blind auctions
Consider informing users that admins have access to bid information
Troubleshooting
If an auction isn't listed, ensure it's within the timeframe of auctions stored by the bot
Check your admin permissions if you're unable to use the command
Contact bot support if you believe there's an error in the displayed information
Example
Input: /bidders [Select auction from the list]
Output:
Note: In this example, User#9101 and User#1121 have the same bid amount, but User#9101 is ranked higher due to placing their bid earlier.
Best Practices
Pay attention to timestamps when reviewing bids, especially for high-stakes auctions
In case of disputes, the timestamp can be crucial for determining the winning bid
Regularly check this command throughout the auction to monitor close competitions
Remember
While this command provides valuable insights, it's important to maintain the spirit of blind auctions. Use the information judiciously and primarily for administrative and troubleshooting purposes.
