This is a Python Discord bot that automatically bans users when they post in a specific channel. It was developed on Python 3.10.14 but should work on any version that is 3.10+

Before running the bot, make sure you have the following:

• Python 3.10+ installed
• Discord.py library installed (pip install discord.py)

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Create a new Discord bot on the Discord Developer Portal.
3. Make a copy of .env.example and call it .env
4. Copy the bot token and paste it in the .env file.
5. Customize the .env file to specify the target channel ID, message id of the message to edit
6. Start the bot and run the bootstrap command to set the bot's message up
7. Shutdown the bot then edit the env file with the values provided by the bootstrap command.
8. Start the bot again

Once the bot is running, it will monitor the specified channel for new messages. If a user posts in that channel, they will be automatically banned and the specified ban message will be sent.
