I want to make the discord bot to not react to a certain user when they edit a message, but it doesn't work

I am trying to make it so a discord bot won’t react to a certain user when they make say an edit on a message, however it doesn’t quite work. My current code is

from discord.ext import commands

id = id

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')




@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    
    if message.author.id == id:
        pass

    else:

        @bot.event
        async def on_message_edit( before, after):
              await before.channel.send(
                    f'Before: {before.content}\n' f'After: {after.content}'


                

bot.run('token')

I have to do this because I just put if message.author.id == id in the on_message_edit it would return as false. I also tried to also use variables like if message.author.id == id then something = True, but it just won’t work. But this doesn’t quite work either, any suggestions as to how I could fix this?

>Solution :

First of all, avoid naming strings like id since it’s used by discord.py already and can be confusing for python. I’ve changed it for banned_id just for this example.

Secondly, message.author.id is an integer value, so make sure you compare it to another integer value. If you make something like:

banned_id = 142345353455345

python treats it just like a string of characters, not a number. You can make it a number using int().

For me this code works just fine:

    @bot.event
    async def on_message_edit(before, after):
        banned_id = int(YOUR_ID_HERE)

        if before.author.id == banned_id:
            await before.channel.send("you wish")
        else:
            await before.channel.send(f'Before: {before.content}\n' f'After: {after.content}')
