✏️ In short

Useful Moderator is a Discord bot that aims to help moderators in their daily tasks. It is written in Python and uses the discord.py library.

The bot provides a set of commands, which are subdivided into cogs (or modules). Each cog is responsible for a specific set of commands.

👩‍🏫 Usage & Setup

Please note we do not officially support Windows or MacOS, but we do provide some instructions for those who want to use it on these platforms.

You do not explicitly need a conda environment for the bot to run. But it is always recommended nontheless, especially because the next LTS of Ubuntu won't let users pip-install anything without a virtual environment. At the time of writing, this bot requires python >= 3.9 to run.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ThomasByr/useful-moderator.git
cd useful-moderator

You can create and activate a conda environment with the following commands :

# Create the environment
conda create -n dsc python=3.11
conda activate dsc

Then, install the dependencies :

# Install the dependencies
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally, run the bot in the background with bash run.bash or type the following :

# Run the bot (lets you Ctrl+C to stop it)
python useful_moderator.py

💁 Get Help

Inside the Discord app, you can type

/<GroupName> help

to get help about a specific group of commands. For example, you can type /utils help to get help about the utils group of commands.

You can try to ping the bot in your guild to start 👋 :

/utils ping

🧑‍🏫 Contributing

If you ever want to contribute, either request the contributor status, or, more manually, fork the repo and make a full request !. On a more generic note, please do respect the Python Coding Conventions and wait for your PR to be reviewed. Make sure you respect and read the Contributing Guidelines, make pull requests and be kind.

The standard procedure is :

fork -> git branch -> push -> pull request

Note that we won't accept any PR :

• that does not follow our Contributing Guidelines

• without any proper test suite
• with a failing or incomplete test suite

Happy coding ! 🙂
