Status Message #159

Is there a way or could there be a way added to disable to status update in discord. Not just the game message but the entire status system. Something under the lines of a config.ini general entry for "StatusUpdate" and a true or false statement. Default set to true is fine and that would allow the bot to update the status and game message for the user running the bot, but when set to false it would not update the online status, or game status for the user. Would be extremely simple to do and wouldn't take more than i would say maybe 10-15 mins. Looks like the updatediscordstatus() is only called in 2 sections of the code in the main.go file. Simply put: If StatusUpdate = True: updatediscordstatus() else pass

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider this suggestion.

It's been said over and over that he refuses to do that. You'd best figure it out yourself or considering snagging a branch with the option added. I wish I knew how to do it myself but bleh.

As you said yourself, it's extremely easy to remove this "feature" if you're so inclined. The maintainer has made it clear that he believes it's common decency to let others in your server know if you're running a self-bot, especially since this is technically against Discord ToS.

Yea i've already removed it myself. There nothing common or decent to letting everyone in a server know your running a self bot so they can report you and have your account deleted. Doesn't matter anymore anyway, the offensive status update wasn't hard to remove.

I have run this on same account since 2017, maybe you really are using it in places you shouldn't if you have problems with it announcing it's existence in playing status.

Hi, @MadamJazzy is your modified version somewhere available to download - preferably with windows exe - I'm totally new to GO and failed to build it :(
