Check for discord link and delete

Question

Im trying to code my discord bot to prevent advertising other discords. I've read a lot on this site, but can't find the solution. I want the bot to search for discord invites in a message, and if this link is not posted by a member that has the kick permission, then it should delete the invite.

if (message.content.includes('discord.gg/'||'discordapp.com/invite/')) { //if it contains an invite link
        if(!message.member.hasPermission("KICK_MEMBERS")) {
            message.delete() //delete the message
            .then(message.member.send(ms.INVITELINK));
    }}

The bot is not deleting or sending a message to the user that post's a discord link, regardless they have/have not the kick permission. Edit: And there is no error's in the console. — Milo, Feb 26 '19 at 18:50
Does your bot have moderator permissions to delete and send messages? Does the code you posted actually reach the if statement before the delete message? `Console.log` a message to see if you're hitting each conditional. Your code looks perfectly fine. — cb64, Feb 26 '19 at 18:55

Includes only accepts one condition. You have to use separate include statements if you're using || for each of the strings you're trying to catch. If you want to check for multiple conditions try using some()

if (message.content.includes('discord.gg/') || message.content.includes('discordapp.com/invite/')) { //if it contains an invite link
  if (!message.member.hasPermission("KICK_MEMBERS")) {
    message.delete() //delete the message
      .then(message.member.send(ms.INVITELINK));
  }
}

Thx for all your help :) Have a nice day. – Milo Feb 26 '19 at 19:20 — Milo, Feb 26 '19 at 19:20
