¶ Changelog
Current version: v3.3.1
¶ v3.3.1 (01/29/2022)
Additions
- Added
;bannerto view a user's or server banner.
Changes
- Removed all music commands (other than
;playlists.)- If you have any playlists stored here that you don't want to lose, please get the links now as they will be completely deleted in the future.
- Commands using the old
DJpermission are now available to everyone. If you set this permission manually for any commands, please update them ASAP. ;playlists,;deleteplaylist, and;lyricshave all been moved to the Miscellaneous category, and;catjamhas been moved to the Fun category. You may need to update your permissions.
Fixes
- Removed the no-longer-existent region field from
;serverinfo. - Fixed a typo in
;log.
¶ v3.3 (04/12/2021)
Additions
- Added the ability for
;createemojito now support message IDs and message links. This addition has changed the way the command works in terms of arguments. Before this update you could do both;createemoji :emote: [name of emote]and;createemoji [name of emote] :emote:. As of v3.3 you can only do;createemoji :emote: [name of emote]. The command will now also beforehand check if you actually have enough emote slots left (It takes the server boost level into account). - Added
;raffle. This command allows you to pick a random member from all of the members that have a certain role. - Added metric units to
;weather. - Commands that involve mentioning channels will now also mention voice channels as this is now a possibility within Discord.
Fixes
- Fixed numerous bugs with
;namefilter flags. - Fixed not being able to permanently ban a tempbanned user.
- Fixed a bug in
;deland improved some error wording as well. - Fixed massive lag in
;filter warnlist. Command will now run without any delay instead of taking 5 to 10 seconds. The command will now also actually accept you specifying a page (if there are 2 or more).
Changes
- Automoderation actions taken for filter violations will now create a case for each violation, including for the
warnaction. Beforehand a warn would only trigger a message being sent to the logging channel.
¶ v3.2.2 (03/31/2021)
Additions
- Added the possibility to have a custom
;minagemessage. See;help minagefor more information.
Fixes
- Fixed
;bannot working without a reason. (04-01-2021) - Fixed
;fear(This was already fixed on the 12th of March). - Fixed rolemenus not working and being reset every minute (This was already fixed on the 12th of March).
- Fixed
;channelinfofor announcement type channels. - Fixed visual permissions for
use_tagsandtag_list. - Fixed an issue with
;roleall. - Fixed a bug in
;overwatchwith names not being escaped properly which would cause some results to fail. - Fixed not checking for maximum ban reason length, discord's limitation is 512.
- Fixed double emotes being posted in
;unmute. - Fixed various things in
;customcommand. (Thanks Lukas) - Fixed wording in
;catjamto make it more clear that the command still works even if music commands are disabled. - Fixed wrongly showed values when updating
;filter flags. - Fixed
;channelinfonot showing how many members can speak in a voice channel. (Thanks Chris)
Changes
;antiadvertisingwas moved to theutilgroup. By default it will also no longer perform any action such askickorban, instead it will only send the embed with members who are advertising. It will also now always show mentions in the embed, however if you have a large server this will most likely look 'broken', as most of the members in this embed might be uncached on your own machine. There is nothing we can do about this and you'll still have to find these members via their ID if you wish to perform any singular action on them.
¶ v3.2.1 (03/03/2021)
Automatically purging agreement channels has been disabled due to issues with rate limits. All messages should still be deleted as they come in, but purging past messages will have to be done manually now. This will likely be a permanent change, as the agreement system will be completely redone when Discord finishes their Membership Screening feature.
Fixes
- Fixed
;rolemenushowing an error when the command was ran without arguments. - Fixed any
;newsrelated commands as well as automatic news checks not working. - Fixed an issue with
;agreewhere it could error in rare circumstances if a user typed;agree. - Fixed ;
reasonas updating the reason would error as well as using the command without arguments always saying there was no reason for a case even if there was one.
There were always quite a few behind the scenes fixes that aren't listed here.
¶ v3.2 (02/18/2021)
Quick note about moderation commands and their respective logging. If a new moderation command is added and you have enabled logging of moderation commands before, this new command will not get logged when you use it. You will have to manually toggle the logging of this command by doing ;log <command name> true, for example: ;log tempban true.
Additions
- Added
;catjamwhich syncs
to a song or custom BPM (beats per minute.) - Added the possibility to use Spotify song links in
;play,;replaceand;lyrics. For both;playand;replacethe song still has to exist on youtube for it to be played, which means that if a song only exists on Spotify it won't work. - Added
;autopurge(requires Bender Pro.) This has the same functionality as when you would set an;agreement channel. You can have up to 5 autopurging channels. Messages are purged on a 50 second interval as well as having an option to disable or enable deletion of pinned messages as well. - Added
;antiadvertisingwhich allows you to see who is currently advertising a Discord invite or a link (or both) in their Discord status. It will also automatically ask you if you want to kick or ban advertisers (The action is configurable). - Added 3 new meme commands,
;garbage,;wantedand;bigbrain. (requires Bender Pro) - Added
;log account-changeswhich will log when a user changes their username, avatar or their nickname. - Added
;log welcomewhich has the same functionality as;welcomebut is more intended for moderation purposes. If configured, it can display account age, last 20 nicknames, last 20 usernames, and any previous moderation actions that were performed on them. Upon leaving the server it will also say when the user joined. - Added
;duckduckgowhich searches the DuckDuckGo Instant Answers API. - Added
;tag <tag name> sourceoption, this will allow you to view a tag's source which will make it easier to edit them. This is already possible via the dashboard. - Added
;starboard blacklistoption, this will allow you to blacklist up to 25 channels where Bender will not count stars or your specified;starboard emote. - Added server boost information to
;serverinfo. - Added boosting status to
;userinfo. - Added the option to now do
;gdpr nicknames [server id]. This will let you delete all your nicknames for a specific server instead of all of them. - Added an option to
;translateforchinese-simplifiedandchinese-traditional. - Added an option to
;minagewhere you can now choose which action should be performed,kickorban. - Added a hyperlink to
;discordstatus. In the event of an outage being reported, this will allow you to go directly to said outage's information page. - Added an embed to
;ttsif the command is used in a server to see who used the command. ;agreement emoij-msgnow allows you to specify a channel to send the emoji-msg to. It also allows you to specify a direct message link from a message if you already have an existing message that you'd like to use. To specify a channel you'd do the following:;agreement emoji-msg #agreement-message Hello please react to this message to agree.. If you want to use a message link, you'd do the following:;agreement emoji-msg https://discord.com/channels/353660669490626560/527726268154904576/760134776140857344. You can get a message link by right-clicking a message and selecting 'Copy Message Link'.- Added the ability to use a message link in
;echo.
Changes
- Removed
;fortniteas the API we used for the command hasn't worked in months. - Made
;createemojiwork with default Discord emojis and users (fetches their avatar.) - Changed the way reminders are stored in the database (and transferred all existing ones.)
- Images and videos/gifs are now hosted on our own domain instead of imgur. Since they changed their ToS, we are no longer allowed to use them as an image host (which is like owning a car that you can't drive.)
;weather,;time, and;config timezonenow use the Mapquest API + local timezone data instead of Google Geolocation/Geocoding APIs.- Changed
;urbandictionaryto now also work in non-NSFW channels. - Changed
;filter warnlistto be more clear as well as more consistent with other commands. - Changed the way fetching values from the database works, this should hopefully fix issues where sometimes performing a certain action wouldn't work or would require you to do it twice. We will monitor how well this change works and it's performance behavior.
- Changed the way we check for images in commands like
;createemojias well as in thememesandimage-toolsgroups. This will allow you to use images that don't necessarily have to end in an image/gif extension, allowing for images such as betterttv emotes to work as well. - Improved some wording in various log options.
- Improved the header text in
;case all. - Improve wording in commands (referring to members as users).
- Renamed
;editsto;editedto be more consistent. (;editsis still an alias for the command). - Lots of cleanup and improved code.
Bugfixes
- Fixed the shard restarting system which should give shards much better uptime and will no longer need to be manually restarted.
- Fixed an issue that caused old username history to be stored separately from newer username history.
- Fixed
;gdpr nicknamesand;gdpr usernamesnot deleting full username history due to the above bug. - Fixed
;google. - Fixed google API key for
;autoplay. - Fixed some issues with saving previous saved role(s) in the database.
- Fixed
;temprolesbeing blank, it will now correctly show information about a specified member or role. - Fixed
;playnot accepting directly linked youtube URLs. - Fixed
;namefilter disable. - Fixed
;translateitself and also the command not properly translating to Chinese. - Fixed
;starboardnot accepting a Unicode emote. - Fixed
;nicknot warning you about trying to change a server owner's nickname instead of it just giving you a Discord API permission error. - Fixed markdown when a reminder ended.
- Fixed invalid subreddits in
;cockand;gaynsfw. - Fixed
;agreement post-msgshowing the wrong value. - Fixed checking for duplicates as well as wrongly typed values in
;tagand;customcommand. - Fixed
;namessorting from oldest to newest instead of the other way around. - Fixed trying to do
;info <server id>in DM. - Fixed an error when the bot would try to ban members in certain commands.
- Fixed the
Usage:part in help embeds formemesandimage-toolscommands. - Fixed a temprole being removed from a member not being logged if said log option was enabled.
- Fixed the
;roleallstatus message. - Fixed
;lyrics. - Fixed image/meme commands erroring on default Discord emojis due to improper URL parsing.
- Fixed edited commands sometimes not working (due to a change in Discord.js's "split" option for long messages, used in commands like
;agreement.)
¶ v3.1.3 (10/1/2020)
- Added
;translate. Please carefully read the command's description to see how it works. We will add an option to also specify the source language (the language of the message that you want translated) to try to get more accurate results. - Redid
;agreement emojiand;agreement emoji-msgto be more clear how it works. Also updated;help agreement. - Fixed an issue with
;delwhere it would say that it couldn't find a role, channel... etc. even though it successfully deleted something. - Fixed embeds colors on commands where they wouldn't be applied.
¶ v3.1.2 (9/28/2020)
-
Added
;agreement emojiand;agreement emoji-msg. This will allow you to configure a message and an emoji so that users will only have to react to a message within the specified;agreement waittime instead of typing;agreein a channel. Do note that;agreement emoji-msg <message>will send the message in the same channel where you run the command.- This means you don't actually have to set an
;agreement channelthough if you would like to you can still keep the 'old' way of agreeing enabled as well, they can both work together. If you have previously set an;agreement emojiand;agreement emoji-msg, Bender will automatically react to theemoji-msgif you just set a new emoji via;agreement emoji.
- This means you don't actually have to set an
-

!userinfo @Bender, when shitpost mode is enabled.

- Fixed
;prefix - Corrected a problem with case sensitivity in role/channel names in a few commands.
- Added proper error messages for a bug that has been somewhat pinpointed: Certain guilds won't work in the database for reasons I cannot fathom. This will be worked on.
- "Shitpost mode" responses won't be sent in your DMs if the bot can't send messages in the channel you're typing in (however it still does this for commands.)
¶ v2.0 (9/30/2017)
- Full rewrite of the bot; ditched Commando and made a new framework. The whole thing should be much more efficient and less buggy.
- Full overhaul of the database system. Unfortunately, this means all data was cleared - But don't worry, this should never happen again.

;rolewhich will give a user the role for a limited amount of time and re-apply it if they rejoin. - Improved the way scheduled actions are handled - things like auto-unmutes and giveaways will be much more stable.

;giveaway- Most notably, the giveaway will keep going after the bot restarts. Also;giveaway endand;giveaway rerollwork now. - Added
;names- Shows the username/nickname history of a user. - Removed "pong" and replaced it with "shitpost mode". Try mentioning the bot
(this can be disabled using;config shitpost) - Mod logging statements and many other messages were made to look nicer.
- Made text tools smarter - if you mention someone, it will convert the text of their name instead of the ID mention.
- Far too many bugfixes to list.
- Bot has been moved to a brand-new VPS so it should be much more responsive with less downtime.
¶ v2.0 BETA (9/18/2017)
On this historic day, September 18, 2017, Bender became a public bot. Before that, it was a private bot with custom features for a handful of servers. Before that, it was merely a hobby and a way to test random things in Discord. We've come so far since then :'^)
