[dcom](https://github.com/emre/dcom) (**d**iscord **com**munity bot) is a (python3.6+)  bot for communities to trigger upvotes from specified discord channels/servers.

***

I have built a couple of discord bots for community curations in the past. <sup><a href="https://github.com/emre/deutschbot">1</a>, <a href="https://github.com/emre/dpoll.xyz/blob/master/dpoll/polls/management/commands/run_discord_bot.py">2</a></sup>

A couple of days ago, one of the communities I have been involved with asked a similar bot for their upcoming discord server. Since I am doing -almost- the same thing third time, this time I have decided to make it a generic bot package. It's usable for every kind of community for curation with community curation accounts.

It has a handful validators in place before upvoting and this will be increase in time.

#### Installation
***

#### Running
***

```bash
$ dcom

#### Roadmap
***

- ```discord.py``` uses asyncio, while I use lightsteem to broadcast transactions. lightsteem or other steem libraries blocks the asyncio loop. It's not making a huge difference on a small scale like this,  but it would be good to have an async solution here.

- Adding more *generic* commands. These commands should be kind of commands that every community can benefit. Expanding more commands also needs some refactoring on the code to make the commands modular.

- Integration with blacklist APIs

- Implementation of an internal blacklist system.
