Discord bot deletes every message

November 27, 2023

Is there any way that I can stop my Discord bot from deleting all messages? I only want to delete messages that include banned words.

client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
  if (message.author.bot || !message.guildId) 
    return;

  if (message.content.includes(badWords))
    await message.reply("Not cool buddy you getting a timeout")
  message.delete()
  return;
})

Can anyone solve this because I couldn’t find anything? I asked some people too but I couldn’t understand what they mean.

>Solution :

It looks like a typo. You don’t have curly braces around the whole block you want to execute when that if statement is true:

client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
  if (message.author.bot || !message.guildId) 
    return;

  if (message.content.includes(badWords)) {
    await message.reply("Not cool buddy you getting a timeout")
    message.delete()
    return;
  }
})
