How do I make a discord.py bot filter certain words/phrases?
Right now, I have
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
import os
bot = Bot(command_prefix="?")
with open("bad-words.txt") as file: # bad-words.txt contains one blacklisted phrase per line
bad_words = [bad_word.strip().lower() for bad_word in file.readlines()]
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
message_content = message.content.strip().lower()
async for bad_word in bad_words:
if bad_word in message:
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "{}, your message has been censored.".format(message.author.mention))
await bot.delete_message(message)
bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))
I have this Python code, and it doesn't work. I do not know why, because I am unable to view the errors. The goal is to have the Discord bot delete a message whenever it contains a blacklisted word or phrase that is in bad-words.txt, which is a file that contains one blacklisted phrase per line. The bot runs, but does not do anything. Thank you for your help.

Since you probably want to wait for the search to finish, you could just change the async for to a regular for as mentioned by Patrick Haugh:
for bad_word in bad_words:
if bad_word in message:
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "{}, your message has been censored.".format(message.author.mention))
await bot.delete_message(message)
However, in Python 3, the any() method can be used to simplify this further:
if any(bad_word in message for bad_word in bad_words):
await bot.send_message(message.channel, "{}, your message has been censored.".format(message.author.mention))
await bot.delete_message(message)
