The public instance will be updated with this fix immediately.
This fixes cases in which those with moderator roles are unable
to use mod-only commands as intended.
It also fixes a dangerous bug in which users with the birthday role
assigned to them have unrestricted access to moderator commands.
With more preconditions in use, command logging has been modified to also be better able to respond to users in the event of an error. As a result, the bot is now able to respond to users and notify them properly if they fail any preconditions.
The current way of loading database information makes things confusing and difficult to follow, particularly with retrieving guild data and its second parameter.
A much better alternative should be considered, and accessed by means of extension methods.
These changes make the bot skip over needlessly collecting information
for guilds in which it is unnecessary, in most cases guilds that have
invited the bot but have not yet invoked any bot command.
All existing VB code was 'translated' to C# as closely as possible, with
minor changes and additional notes. Currently untested and likely
broken.
Further commits will go toward making overall improvements until this
version replaces the currently existing code.
