Bot will not Start - SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED

[zluckytraveler]

I just did an install set up both of the files and the discord bot, but when I try to run the bot, i'm getting an error.

I also wanted to know is there is a way to not add a role for a specific action and leave it empty so no role is given? For example for users currently watching or invited users? I tried leaving it empty and I get a Syntax error.

Any Help would be appreciated, thanks.

@nwithan8 I'll try and fix it through the that thread thanks.

Is there a way to not add a role for a specific action and leave it empty so no role is given?
