ProBotx is a feature-rich moderation bot for Discord, built using the enhanced-dpy library.

• I have a showcase server for the bots I make:
• you could also check the screenshots folder for more.

• Automatic messages to members on join/exit, along with designated role assignment.
• Informative server and user info embeds.
• Comprehensive logging features for member and message updates, including avatar changes, nickname and username changes, and message edits/deletes.
• A wide range of mod commands, such as banning, kicking, muting, unmuting, and adding or removing roles, as well as messaging members, purging messages, and sending messages to other channels.
• ModMail functionality for seamless communication between moderators and server members.
• Anonymous Confession capability, allowing users to share anonymously with mods able to block specific confession IDs.
• Mod-related logs for kicks, bans, DMs, and more.

• Numerous embeds with pagination for logs, the help command and other messages for ease of reading.
• Fun commands such as fetching wallpapers from Unsplash, checking the weather, rolling dice, polls, and Kanye quotes.

• Python with enhanced-dpy library for Discord bot development.
• To store data related to warned and muted users, I utilized MongoDB as my database management system. This allows store large amounts of data while ensuring optimal performance and scalability.
• To protect user anonymity, I hashed user IDs before they were stored in the database along with their confession messages links so that users that abuse this functionality get banned from using it.
• In order to enhance the functionality of the bot, I integrated a couple of APIs such as:
  • Unsplash for fetching random images
  • OpenWeatherMap for displaying weather information within the server
  • and Kanye West Quotes API for generating random quotes for the server.
• The bot is deployed on Heroku using a CI/CD pipeline for automatic deployment on every push to the main branch.
