why does the bot keep resetting itself?

[s-p-l-o-d-e]

After I setup the bot, go through

.enableonjoin
.domainadd [the domain I want to use].org for some reason it doesn't seem to work if I put the @ in the domain
.rolechange Verified

And for a short period of time, maybe a few hours, it works.
But after a few hours, the bot resets itself for .enableonjoin and .domainadd, although it does keep the proper Verified role (or maybe it resets to the default)
Why does it do this?
Is there any way to keep the configuration persistent?

did you ever find a solution?

[s-p-l-o-d-e]

No, I just wrote an autohotkey script that would input each command to reconfigure the bot But even that has to be done every few hours if you figure out anythjng, that would be much appreciated

Maybe it’s a problem with your database not persisting. Watch bot.db.
The “Verified” role is managed by Discord so the problem with this bot won’t affect that.

[s-p-l-o-d-e]

That would make sense, the database not persisting.
But I'm not using my own self-hosted database, I just added the standard bot from the invite link in the main github page.
Is there a separate database I should be hosting elsewhere?
As is, it seems to work okay for at least a few hours, and whenever a new user tries to get verified, I just run my AHK script to reset the bot.

In that case, I don't really know, but it seems to be a problem with the people who host the bot. As far as I can tell from the source code, you don't need to host a separate database.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can host the bot yourself. The code seems to work out of the box, but remember to use python 3.7. The newer versions don't seem to work for me.

[s-p-l-o-d-e]

Yeah I'm not sure either, but thanks for the python 3.7 tip

Having this issue too, not self-hosting. 🤔
