FAQ and Updates

Hello,

As most of you know, Discord is forcing bot developers to implement slash commands into their bots. This has caused Danny, the core and sole maintainer of discord.py to step down.

Jeanne is coded in Python and due to this, I will face a problem with implementing slash commands into her since the official package for it hasn't been released and Danny has made a request to contributors to take over the discord.py but no one has accepted it yet and I personally feel that Discord does not care about the developers. Feels like YouTube also not caring about the creators after COPPA and FTC was brought into the platform as I feel they are in the same WhatsApp group. Not only Danny is affected but other Discord API Library developers are also affected by this and has either stepped down as owners or maintainers of them.

Will you stop developing Jeanne? No. I will not stop developing her. I will not let 4+ months of work go to waste (even though I'm a beginner programmer). I've managed to get Jeanne into Top.gg. But if I have to continue developing her, I have 3 choices:

CHOICE A:

I will use the unstable packages of the slash commands (dislash, discord-py-slash-commands) to implement them. I know they are not the official packages but I know a bot developer who uses them and has implemented it to his bot and they worked well. So, I will use them to make sure Jeanne lives and I can continue developing her.

CHOICE B:

I have to learn another programming language and my 2nd language of choice before I started making the bot was JavaScript and they have the official package of slash commands made. I know JS is a harder language than Python but at least I can use the stable release of these packages.

CHOICE C:

I will not implement the slash commands but I will restrict Jeanne from entering 85+ servers as this would cause her to go through the verification process. That will be a major disadvantage to me and to Jeanne but it would cause less stress than setting up the slash commands in my point of view.

Will slash commands make it easier for me to use the bot? Well yes but actually no in most cases. Imagine if you had 5+ bots and you want to do userinfo. Then you will stumble upon other bots like Arcane, Dank Memer and Mee6 and you have to scroll way down to look for Jeanne to do that command. And it is also not beneficial for all bots as they will all have the same prefix (/) and it would be kinda stupid and lame.

What do I think will happen after April 2022? I could think of 3 things

Scenario A:

Discord has listened to the developers and decide to not make the implementation of slash commands compulsory. Some library developers might come back or not to maintain the libraries.

Scenario B:

Almost all bots, big or small (has reached over 85+ servers and have been verified or in process of verification) has been discontinued, everyone would be sad that their favourite bots have died and considered useless. Most people would leave their bots as they don't want to implement slash commands in them (like I said, stupid and lame).

Scenario C:

Almost the same as B but someone has forked the libraries to bypass some of the features Discord is locking (I am not sure if I'm correct or saying this right).

I will try all my best to make sure Jeanne makes it through April 2022, even if it means changing programming language. Like I said, I will not let my 4+ months go to waste.

Thank you and stay safe

So, I guess some people will ask me about why I took 19 days to update Jeanne when the bot needed immediate fixes on some commands. I have been planning to do that however there were a lot of backlogs that delayed it. I will explain that later but now, its FAQ time before I will be asked the same questions over and over.

I added '02' as a tag for the yandere command but I got a 'blacklist message' but not from the gelbooru or danbooru command. Why? I blacklisted that tag on the yandere command because it returned guro and extreme content that is not very safe. It is the only tag that has its own error message other than loli, ugly bastard or shota that have the same 'blacklist' message. To be honest, I thought 02 would return the 02 character from Darling in the Franxx.\

Why did it take you 19 days to update Jeanne? There were a lot of backlogs that prevented me to work on Jeanne or do minor fixes. I have planned to complete it in less than 3 days. However, it took almost 7 times longer.

The 1st backlog was my workplace. I spend 7 to 8 hours per day working but most of the time, it gets quiet to I can do some random stuff while waiting for customers. The past 19 days showed a lot of activity at work that I barely had time to rest (such as people looking around and assisting them, being extra vigilant as there are loiters checking the shop and waiting for an opening to steal something). This has happened after the opening of SAYouth posts and SARS tax registering. You might think that is very easy to do, right? Wrong! Most of the time, customers take almost 3 to 7 minutes looking around in the shop and I have to stand by the door and watch if they are taking something, they make irrational changes while I am working on their CVs or letters which forces me to retype sometimes the whole thing, missing documents for the SAYouth or SARS, harassed by many customers for 'bad service' on their SARS registration (first, SARS is owned by the government. I do not work with them in any way or form. Second, if they are missing the required documents, then they will not qualify for the registration and they will go mad or talk senselessly not understand that they are missing something) and most of them threatened to get me fired for lying about that there is no jobs in my workplace (there is not enough money to hire another person as it is just only me, my boss and his wife in this area).

The 2nd backlog is exams. I am on my 3rd year about to go to my 4th year and exams has been putting a toll on me. Although I am almost done, my exams are about almost 3 months long. Each paper is about 2 to 4 hours long except one which I finished that had a 24-hour time limit. During that time of exams, I might lose focus on fixing Jeanne yet I was aware of the faults.

The 3rd backlog is Sunday. Sunday is my free day... from work, not house work. Every Sunday, I am told to do this, do that, paint this, cut this, go out to town and buy this and when it’s done, I usually play games to finally catch a breather. This is the only day of the week that I wish I have a full break but there is always something that I would be told to do.

The 4th backlog and this is the worst enemy of South Africa including myself, loadshedding. Loadshedding is very familiar here since late 2008. It involves schedule blackouts that would last about +/- 6 hours per day depending on the stage it is set on. Now at this year, internet connection gets knocked out whenever loadshedding starts and without it, it would be impossible to test the fixes and new commands and I mostly do them on a PC. Even though have a laptop, again, same story. There are some cases that the area should be having power back after the time of loadshedding ends. However, it could go from 2 hours, to almost 10 hours which is the worst-case scenario that could happen.

Do you care about your reputation in Discord? Like, I have heard that you were falsely reported multiple times. Personally, I don't give 2 shits about my reputation. But as a bot developer of Jeanne, I have to protect her reputation as someone accused her of being a raid/nuke bot. So, keep damaging my reputation as much as you like but I will be defending Jeanne to protect her image.

Why are you still using discord.py when it will retire on April 2022? You know that library doesn't have a slash command package, right? I am aware of that and yes, I do know that it doesn't have a slash package. But I am using the unstable packages that might continue Jeanne's lifetime in Discord as she has the dpy-interactions package installed. But there would be a time when I will use discord.js for Jeanne in the nearby future.

Why can you selfhost Jeanne? With loadshedding and internet gets knocked out? No.

Botban means that you are banned from using a bot and all commands are rendered useless to you.

How does one get botbanned?
As seen in rules, if someone was caught or reported for breaking the rules depending on the seriousness of it, they will be botbanned. The commands will be rendered useless to them as they will see the thinking status until it times out. All their data such as XP and QP that was collected and stored in the database except warnings and timed bans that they have will be deleted. I do not care how much work and effort they made. It is their fault that they have broken the rules.

If someone gets botbanned, can they appeal for it?
I am not a very forgiving man so when someone is botbanned, they are botbanned PERMANENTLY! They will have no chance of appealing their botban.

If someone is botbanned, can they report any bug, faults, exploits or someone breaking the rules they have seen?

• It will depend on the accuracy of the report.
• UPDATE: Not anymore since it has been switched to webhook method after the v3.0 update

Will they be a chance that my botban will be revoked?

• NEVER! Even if you stopped using Discord, you will never be unbotbanned.

I was botbanned and someone was able to warn, mute, kick, delete my messages and ban me with Jeanne. I thought I was immune to moderation commands. Why?
Being botbanned doesn't grant you immunity from commands done on you. Being botbanned renders all commands to you useless but not commands on you, meaning someone can still ban you with Jeanne even if you are botbanned.

I was botbanned but my warnings in a server is still there. Why were they not removed?
If you have read from above, being botbanned doesn't grant you immunity on commands done on you and it is only your XP data, currency data and inventory data removed from the database. Your warnings will stay in the database after you are botbanned.

Someone used a guess or say command and I want to troll them by ruining the command by typing for them before they finish but failed. Why?
The guess and say command are waiting for the response from the person who used the command. Third parties will be unable to type a message for them as it is author target.

Can I contribute to Jeanne such as fixing your broken codes or faults?
I am more than happy that you will contribute to Jeanne. Just make sure you make a pull request and alert me about it so I can have a look at it.

What if I want people to appeal for their warns in the server? Will there be an appeal command?
That one is still under questioning but I do not guarantee that it will be implemented. (Update: Forget about it)

To contribute to Jeanne, you have to fork the lastest branch from the repo from Github. Make sure you have a Github account when making contributions. You need Python, NextCord, SQLite3 and PIL knowledge (at least Python and NextCord will be okay). Then after you thought of some new commands or did some fixes, make a pull request.

Update: You now need DiscordPy knowledge

The reason for this was that a contributor gave me the source code on a faulty and buggy stage without her and my knowledge. After that has happened, over 60+ faults and bugs were identified. They are still as of now, being fixed however the contributor is temporary pulled out of the project until further notice.

Right now, only 30 bugs has been fixed but I am not sure when the repair will be done.

I deeply apologise for this event to happen. Luckily, no data was lost or destroyed.

If you suddenly lost access to your main account, you have to get in contact with me via email or Discord so I can transfer everything except your XP data from your main to your new or alt account. You must provide proof that you have really lost access to your account and I need user IDs of both your main account and your alt account. If it is reasonable, I will transfer your things to your other account.

Just to let you know:

1. If you were farming QP on your other account including buying stuff, only a portion from your main will be transferred to your other account. Sometimes, it can be excluded. For example, if you have 1000 QP and 3 wallpapers on your main but the other account has 200QP and 5 wallpapers, 800QP will be transferred to your other account. As for the wallpapers, if some matches the ones you have, it will be ignored too.

2. If you are asking to have your stuff transferred to your other account because Jeanne is not responding to your main account but she is to other users and your alt too, you are probably botbanned and your alt will be botbanned too.

3. Your XP data will not be transferred

The reason why the commands were not working for the past few days is because I was recently dev warned by Discord for having Jeanne passing illicit content that have violated ToS in terms of NSFW. I am suspecting that an exploit happened and made it easier for someone to get those kind of material so I had to take precautions.

The commands will be available after the update.

Please note that the following content is reportable:

• Lolis, shotas and/or cubs sexualised or enganging in a sexual activity
• Extreme content such as gore, vore (gay/yaoi is not considered reportable)

As most of you know, Imgur is changing their ToS which will take effect on May 15, 2023.

What does it have to do with Jeanne? The new ToS states about removal of NSFW related content and I am worried about the swimsuits and questionable content stored for the image related commands. To read more about the ToS, click here

What will I do? I will try and contact the support team for more information about this to ask about this if this kind of content is okay and it is marked private in my Imgur albums. If support says no, I'm afraid that your favourite image/wallpaper of Saber, Jeanne and/or Medusa in swimwear will be removed to respect the new ToS. However, I will save all the images and try to figure out a way to have them back in the image commands. But I would advise all of you to save all your NSFW images in your Imgur albums before the ToS changes.

I just hope that they don't say no or else the commands will lose 200+ images. I apologies for this but it is what it is.

To respect the new Imgur ToS and after making adjustments, the following deletion events have been made:

• Out of 1327 Jeanne images, only 86 were delete due to seen as crossing the borderlines of NSFW, repeated images and not related to Jeanne d'Arc
• Out of the 556 Saber images, only 34 were delete due to seen as crossing the borderlines of NSFW, repeated images and not related to Artoria (Saber) or other Saber Class servant
• Out of the 347 Medusa images, only 29 were delete due to seen as crossing the borderlines of NSFW, repeated images and not related to Medusa (Rider)
• Out of 554 Animemes, only 15 were delete due to repeated images and not animeme material
• Out of 191 wallpapers, only 20 were deleted due to off-topic

Nekos and Kitsunes remain unchanged since they don't use Imgur

UPDATE: Imgur pulled an Imgur. Images are now stored locally

After Discord introduced onboarding, I was very curious of how it works but then I noticed it has stopped Jeanne from sending welcoming messages.

I thought it was a fault but everything is okay at first. I later tried on a verified bot and it still failed to send a welcoming message.

It turns out the onboarding not only kills the welcoming system in Jeanne but in other verified bots. I guess the same goes for unverified bots too.

My best suggestion, don't set onboarding unless you want your server to be partnered by Discord.

UPDATE: The onboarding issue has been fixed thanks to an update in the Discordpy library

As most of you don't know, prefix commands are making a comeback but slowly. For now, they can be used ONLY by the Beta users. I am however expecting faults and bugs since it has been 3 years since I have made prefix commands accessible to users excluding the Owner commands.

The reason for this was because everytime you try to type a slash command, it is clustered with other commands and Discord limits each server to allow 25 bots with slash commands. Any further and the rest of the bot's slash commands will not load. I don't know what kind of server would have over 25 bots unless it is a bot listing server.

Until all the commands have been prefixed and their faults and bugs fixed, they will be accessible to everyone.

Just to let you know:

1. It will take weeks to finish the prefixed so they cannot be done on time for everyone. My expected date to have them done is before June 2024.
2. The default prefixes are j!, J!, Jeanne and jeanne. You can also mention her. Customisable prefixes are not available due to specific reasons

Something has happened to the XP and bank data. For the XP data, ALL of it is gone and about HALF of the bank data is missing. It seems that the database has somehow deleted it's own data and I am really confused of how it happened. I just noticed it now.

For the bank data, if you can show a screenshot to my email with your user ID showing your last balance, I can compensate for it but for the XP data, I'm afraid I cannot recover it.

I deeply apologise for the major loss of data. I am still checking if there is some data that has been missing.

Thank you and again, sorry.

UPDATE: I found an old data and it has been pushed

Don't take the title wrong. I am done with Jeanne but for now. v5.0 was a very big update that stressed me out for long and it took about 6 or 7 months to do, even after the beta updates but I have thought that Jeanne has reached her peak for now. I may not work on her heavily but I will be continuing to fix bugs and exploits found in Jeanne (for example, the Calculation of Death that will kill her and take forever to be restarted).

So as of now, after pushing the update, I will take a break on her except again, fixing bugs and exploits. Now with her out of my hands, I can finally work on the side projects I forgot to finish about a year ago...

Thank you

I am really thankful that most of you were patient waiting for the new update. I was 150% aware that there were some faults that needed to be fixed. Also I am very happy that Jeanne has been added to over 1k servers!!!

Thank you everyone for using Jeanne :heart:

There has been a slight change to the prefix commands. Unfortunately, messages can't be easily hidden, and some people have found exploits and workarounds with these commands that made it difficult to manage. I have tested this myself, and it’s alarming to see these vulnerabilities.

To avoid receiving a warning from Discord, I have decided to remove ALL prefixed commands. Jeanne will now only use slash commands.

Additionally, I am completely removing the rating support. All hentai-related commands will now return explicit content. The reason for this is that the "questionable" option has been returning illicit images, which is an exploitable workaround.

To ensure Jeanne feels like 'v5.0', I will continue to fix current errors. I will leave her as she is for now until the fixes have been pushed.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I'm deeply disappointed that I had to do these significant changes to Jeanne after months of work. Due to vulnerabilities in the prefix commands and potential Discord warnings, I've had to remove ALL prefixed commands. Jeanne will now only use slash commands. Additionally, rating support is completely removed, meaning all hentai-related commands will now return explicit content to prevent illicit image workarounds.

On top of that, DiscordBotLists has API issues with Python bots, and when I reported this, they went quiet and ghosted me. As a result, Jeanne will be pulled from DiscordBotLists, and all vote rewards will be managed through TopGG.

I apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause.

Please don't take it personally. I am mad at reality, DBL, the hentai APIs, the hentai posters and myself but thank you for adding and using Jeanne. That does make me smile

1. I guess you are wondering what's happening with the update with Jeanne . Well, I have not given up on her. I am secretly working on something that would work but the thing is my tablet PC went for repairs because it's not charging and the detachable keyboard stopped responding. I wish I could work on her on this PC but I have decided to use it as a home theatre and her latest files are in that tablet PC but the guys there are professionals as I have helped them before. So the moment I get it, I will IMMEDIATELY work on her. I 100% promise, even if my semester starts, I will have to push myself to handle Jeanne and university at the same time.\

2. Also about the problem with the NSFW commands, I have notice that certain tags have potential workarounds to get the illicit content. For example, if you use small chest as a tag, there is a higher chance that you will get a loli instead of an adult figure with a small chest. I have added these tags on the filter so such things wont be returned but... its in the tablet PC... All I can do is wait for users to report the content so I can filter them internally in Jeanne .\

3. And for those who MISUSED the report function, all their IDs have been saved and once the Developer Punishments feature is fully finished and added, they will be punished accordingly.\

4. A huge thanks to the 3k+ servers for adding Jeanne . Thank you very much. However, as always, as she grows... she needs more RAM. Right now, RAM is stable but she will receive an upgrade next month in the machine. But again, thank you

That is all I need to say. Goodnight and thank you for adding Jeanne

You might encounter parts that will be unprofessional so be prepared...

Hey everyone, Let’s set the record straight.

If you’re going to report content, know the damn rules first. As clearly stated here, only specific NSFW content (hentai) is eligible for reporting. Not yaoi. Not normal NSFW content. If the content offends your delicate sensibilities — tough. Filter the tags in the commands or stay away from those commands altogether.

I’m not here to coddle people who get triggered by “gay” content. If you report perfectly normal yaoi images just because they're not your taste, that’s not a real report — that’s you being a homophobic clown. And if you report safe NSFW content that checks all the boxes? You’re not just wasting my time — you’re telling on yourself for not understanding the most basic function of the bot.

Let’s talk betting now. Losing QP on gamble commands? That’s on you. I’ve double-checked the code. I’ve tested it left, right, up, down and center. I’ve even DMed users personally. The system works. Don’t come crying because you lost all your QP on a big bet and now want a refund like it’s a damn casino. Bet smart, or don’t bet at all. That’s why the free version of these commands exist — use those if you're scared of risk.

As for the weather command — holy shit, the drama over this is absurd. It doesn’t ask for your IP, your address, your blood type, your bank account or your social security number. Just a damn city name. If you don’t want to use your real city, use the nearest one. For example, you live in Durban but paranoid about it? Use Richards Bay. Done. Easy. Stop acting like the bot is out to dox you.

And for fuck's sake... I swear on my fucking life... the command asks for the city and when it means by city, it means the place... NOT YOUR WHOLE GODDAMN HOME ADDRESS!

So here's what I need from now on:

• No more fake reports.
• No “this is gay” reports.
• No “omg she’s naked and I can see her tits” reports on hentai content.
• No “I lost big, gimme my QP back” whining.
• No “you doxxed me” bullshit.

Only real reports. You waste my time with nonsense, and I will start punishing repeat false reporters before the dev-punishment system can roll out. And believe me — it won’t look good. You’ve been warned.

Thanks.

PS, to those who follow the rules and send real reports, you are 100x more awesome than the clowns

Hey everyone,

So, I just got my exam schedule and, uh... we're absolutely getting wrecked.

University didn’t hold back at all — my first paper is in three weeks and it’s full panic mode from here.

What about Jeanne?

I’ll still be pushing updates, just at a much slower pace. The plan is to finish all the French translations and add a translation error option in the report menu so people can easily report bad translations. If all goes well, the French update and bug fixes should be done within two weeks.

The Dev-Punishments feature?

Yeah, that’ll have to wait until after exams destroy me. As always, your IDs are logged for those who have been wasting my time

Wish me luck because I'm gonna need a miracle.

Thanks and Thank you for adding and using Jeanne.

I wanted to give you all a transparent update on the current development status of Jeanne and set some expectations for the next update.

Development Progress & Delays

I'm currently working on getting the next version ready, but progress has been slower than I'd like, primarily due to the locale_strs (the language and text strings in the bot). The management commands for these have been surprisingly time-consuming. To add to the challenge, I've noticed that some of the locale_strs are missing from the translation tools, which complicates the process of adding new languages, especially the French translation.

My original plan was to use the time at the beginning of the month, while waiting for my second semester to start, to make significant headway. Unfortunately, my day job became incredibly hectic. We had one person let go and another suspended, which left us as a two-person crew for a full week. Even after the suspension was lifted, the entire workflow has changed, and it's been tough to find the time and energy to code. On top of this, I've had to force myself to code at times due to a lack of motivation from the stressful situation.

A Solo Journey & How You Can Help

As many of you know, I am a solo developer working on Jeanne in my free time. This is a passion project, and unfortunately, I don't have the funds to offer payments or gifts to anyone who can help.

Because of this, I've made the entire project open-source. The repository is public, and I welcome any and all contributions from those who are kind enough to lend their skills. If you're a developer and want to help out, please feel free to check out the repository and submit a pull request!

Bugs, Fixes, and Future Updates

I am fully aware of the existing bugs and glitches. Thank you to everyone who has reported them. Please know that I am actively working on fixing them, and I'm hoping to push a new update with these fixes as soon as I can.

I humbly ask for your patience, both for the general update and specifically for the French translation, which I know many of you are waiting for.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Finally, I want to extend a huge thank you to the 3,000+ servers that have added Jeanne. It's incredibly motivating to see so many communities enjoying the bot. Your support means the world to me.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

After painstaking months, multiple backlogs and delays, I have finally completed the new update for Jeanne!

What's new?

French Localization
If you are a French user, Jeanne now supports French and all of her commands and responses are localized! Also, please report any translation errors.

Si vous êtes un utilisateur français, Jeanne supporte maintenant le français et toutes ses commandes et réponses sont disponibles en français ! Veuillez également signaler toute erreur de traduction. (J'ai utilisé DeepL pour traduire cela...)

Confession Feature
You can now make confessions (public or anonymously) with /confession if a confession channel has been set. You can also report confessions.

Changes and Fixes

• Most bugs and errors have been identified and fixed
• More illicit tags have been filtered out. Thanks to everyone who reported them!

Known Errors

Known errors are listed here. Also, there is a problem with TopGG giving rewards, but it's on their side, not mine.

Apology

I deeply apologise for the time you had to deal with bugs, errors, and disruptions in both my personal and work life. If you've seen the previous announcement, I am a solo developer and I push myself to keep Jeanne going, even during low-motivation days.

I also apologise for the frequent downtimes as I sometimes need to switch Jeanne off to safely edit the database.

What has been removed?

Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to the Gelbooru command completely. The API changed again, and to avoid constant breakages, I decided to remove it. It was fun while it lasted.

I'm really thankful for everyone's patience. Jeanne is now in over 3,000 servers. Can we reach 4,000 before the year ends? Pretty please?

Thank you, everyone, for using Jeanne ❤️

The reason for Gelbooru's removal from Jeanne is that the API changed for the 2nd time and it gave me major headaches...

The first change was that it had to be first be a response before it can be JSONed. Now this change has confused me and I have decided to remove it. I'm sorry but I want to be at ease.

After a long hiatus, lot of unnecessary stuff happening, Jeanne 5.3 is out with the Beta patch!

What's new?

Deutsch Localization
If you are a German user, Jeanne now supports German and all of her commands and responses are localized! Also, please report any translation errors.

Mistral AI Prompt
Jeanne is now using the Mistral AI so a command is made to allow you to use the AI with the personalised instructions. However, this is exclusive to Beta users ONLY. It will be globalised once the Beta stage is over. Also dont put all your trust on it since the knowledge cutt-off date of the model used was somewhere in 2024, meaning the AI does not know anything after 2024. Please... whatever you do, do not include your personal information.

Embed Generation
Since the website has been moved to Vercel, Jeanne now has an embed generator. The way to use it is the same as Discohook without with the extra stuff Discohook had.

Return of a command
Gelbooru has been brought back and a new command

3 new commands \

• Rule34 (/rule34) has been added to the NSFW module. You can use it by /rule34. Although Rule34 has a very unrestricted nature, heavy tag filtering had to be reinforced into the Hentai APIs.
• Slots (/slots) has been added to the Currency module. This is the only command that is betting only (for now)
• Roast (roast) has been added to the Fun module.

Changes and Fixes

• Most bugs and errors have been identified and fixed
• More illicit tags have been filtered out. Thanks to everyone who reported them!
• Fixed the issue with Yandere and Konachan

Apology

I deeply apologise for the time you had to deal with bugs, errors, and disruptions in both my personal and work life. I had stuff that happened and it affected my mental health but thank you for understanding.

What has been removed?

Only the Safebooru command was removed because the API no longer works.

I'm really thankful for everyone's patience. Jeanne is now in over 3,000 servers. Can we reach 4,000 before the year ends? Pretty please?

Thank you, everyone, for using Jeanne ❤️
