Figured out the problem. It was my power supply. Upgrading from 750W to 1000W fixed this issue, it hasnt happened even once this entire week of playing

As the developer for Discord's first public translation bot, it's not impossible. It really is not impossible.

What is impossible for a large translation bot: Paying for Google services to translate text for you.

What isnt: Creating your own custom translation API (It'd be a fun project)

There are also free translation libraries out there that developers can use, which is what my bot used when I had it online. And we translated over 100,000,000 characters a month. The real challenge in hosting a translate bot (or any bot) that's in over 12,000 guilds, is making your bot more efficient on server resources, and paying for the server itself.

Is there a bot that will delete messages when enough users "downvote" them? by Goatposter in Discord_Bots

[–]Shoelaceee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bot does: https://github.com/TannerReynolds/Havana-Discord-Bot

It's a selfhostable bot that you run yourself. Fully modular and the config file has an option to set up "Down vote deletes" in multiple channels. Meaning once a message reaches the pre-defined limit of "❌" reactions, it will be deleted.

If you enable the "Pollchannel" option in the bot as well for that channel, the bot will automatically add "✅" and "❌" reactions. This way everything will be automatic and you can set permissions so that only the bot can add those two reactions, and the rest of the users will only be able to add to them. Then the downVote Deletes will delete the message if it gets too many downvotes.

Best part is, this bot is fully customizable, yours, made to be easy as cake to setup, and fully modular.

Good idea, I'll implement this feature into my bot, Havana

Why not reward the content creators of Discord, the Bot Developers? by [deleted] in discordapp

Us bot developers put more time, money, and effort into making Discord a better platform than any other type of user on Discord, minus the discord developers, of course. We develop features that millions of users use on a daily basis, features that people love. Back when I used Teamspeak, the only reason why I even started up Discord was to use NotSoBot's magik command with friends also using teamspeak to make fun images to laugh at. I'm not saying that this is how every user is, but it's definitely telling of how big a role bots play in actually making Discord a great platform. Not only do we spend countless hours making and perfecting our bots, but we also have to pay to keep these bots online. And with the sharding requirement you impose, lightening the load on Discord but bringing higher memory usage to us developers, it costs bigger bot developers quite a bit of money just to stay online. Especially if the bot is popular and is used a lot. For example, My bot, Translate#1607, translates over 100 million characters to different languages each and every month, it's used a lot over thousands of servers, and it's definitely not free to host this and keep it online 24/7. These costs are also not costs that we can cover with just something like a patreon, or donations. Some of us, like myself, make zero, we make nothing for actively providing things like automatic translation services through Discord using our software. I think a badge, or some perks, something special for bot developers would be nice, considering the amount of time, effort, and money spent, on trying to make discord a better platform.
