Understanding Discord's Limitations on Messaging Removed Members

If you're working with Discord bots using the discord.py library, you might have encountered a frustrating issue: how to send messages to removed members. This is a common question among developers and helps clarify some important aspect of how Discord functions regarding bots and messaging. In this guide, we'll explore why you can't directly message removed members and what you need to consider when attempting to communicate with users.

The Core Problem

You might have tried using the following commands:

However, these commands fail when it comes to members who have been removed from the server or banned.

Why Doesn't It Work?

Discord Security Features: Discord has built-in security measures that prevent bots from sending direct messages (DMs) to users who have either left the server or been banned. This is to protect users from unwanted contacts and potential spam.

Bot vs User Account: The commands designed for sending messages are tailored for user accounts and will not work for bot accounts. Tools like member.send() will throw errors if used on removed members because the bot doesn't retain permission to send them messages.

The Solution: Sending Messages Before Removal

While you cannot send messages to a member after they have been removed, you do have a workaround. Here's what you can do:

Consider Timing

Preemptive Messaging: If you anticipate that a member will be removed, wise timing is crucial. Ensure that you send any necessary messages before the removal action takes place. For instance, if you're dealing with a potential banning situation, consider messaging that member beforehand.

Understanding User Behavior

It's also helpful to be cognizant of the reasons why users might leave your server:

Users might not be engaged.

They could simply be testing out servers and moving on.

Self-bots control user behavior in some cases, meaning they might join and leave quickly without meaningful interaction.

Building Robust Communication

Instead of trying to reach out post-removal, focus on improving your engagement strategies:

Create a welcoming environment: Enhance the community to make it inviting.

Use Feedback: Regularly seek user feedback to understand their issues.

Develop Automated Messages: Use your bot to send welcome and farewell messages to maintain a connection before removal.

Conclusion

While it can be disappointing that you can't send messages to removed members in Discord using discord.py, there are ways to ensure effective communication before such removals happen. Always remember, Discord prioritizes user privacy and safety and understanding these limitations is a crucial step in developing efficient bot interactions.

For advanced developers, consider these limitations as part of managing user interaction wisely within your Discord server.
