RaverBot

About

Has your server ever randomly been deleted? Has someone ever left your server and then had to spam you so they could get their rank back? Well, Raver the Discord role saver keeps a server pain free by storing user roles in a database so you'll never have to spend time reassigning them!

If the bot is running when a user enters your server, their user id, username, and roles assigned to them (which will initally be none) will automatically be stored into the database. Then say you give then a new role the database will automatically update to accommodate that change. If they leave the server for any reason, and join back Raver will scour the database and give them the roles they were already assigned.

Commands

To give commands the user must have a role with the Manage Roles option enabled

Main:

• .dbSync - Syncs every user to RethinkDB (Should be the first command used after setup)
• .dbRemoveUser - Removes user from database (Useful for if you kick someone and don't want them to rejoin with their old roles)
