Nice script! I understand what you're doing here but I'm making my own bot right now and I wanted to use this script as a reference. Do you know how I could specify a member to ban and then ban them? I'm struggling with the documentation

Sorry, I tried adding your discord but it did not work. I do not understand why it is not working! I pasted the code into Glitch.com, and added the package of Python. I invited it to a server and it did not ban anyone

Maybe you can add me on discord and we can test it together if you would like. imxaoeva#3207

@SALADSWIPER I tried adding you but it did not work (says your username does not exist). Anyways I'm not a user of glitch. If you want a fix, please give me the specific error and instructions to reproduce it. Thank you!

I'm also trying to get past the permissions (although I gave the bot the permission to do so in settings). Could you add me on discord XavierP.#3234 ?

@E40e Regardless of what permissions your bot has, it can't ban users who have roles that are above the bot's role (that's just how role hierarchy works in discord). This script doesn't account for that fact, and neither does it account for the server owner.

I'm sorry, if you don't like Python and using it, you shouldn't be here. Please learn discord.js.

fuck off, JS is so retarded and gay LMFAO

Means that it didn't find any member, try adding the bot into a server and then try again.

Is this only banning everyone in the server that I ran the command in? I mean like what if my bot's in many other servers as well? It won't affect other servers?

The bot will (attempt to) ban all members that it can see (in other words, all members that it shares a server with).

It isn't working for me,
" Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions "
My bot has admin perms.

The reason that is its not finding any members is cause the bot has 0 intents to fix this problem enabke the members intent and it should work

You guys should seriously start with the basics instead of just copy& paste any code you see into your bot. And seriously learn syntax 😅

Hey everyone, hope you're all fine, first of all you must activate this things in discord for developers (in your bot section):

Then paste this code to your bot:

import discord

intents = discord.Intents.all()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

TOKEN = ""      # Put your Bot token here
SKIP_BOTS = False

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    for member in client.get_all_members():
        try:
            if(member.bot and SKIP_BOTS):
                continue

            await member.ban(reason="message")
        except:
            print("I can't ban this user due to permissions issues: " + member.display_name)

client.run(TOKEN)
