Overview

Polus is a really cool bot which has got amazing moderation features and much more. The bot is completely coded in Python utilizing the py-cord API and was recreated by only executing the commands available to public without any access to the original project's source code. This is a self-hosted bot meaning you will need to host and maintain your own instance, instructions for self-hosting are given below. You can contact me at my telegram or open an issue if you face any problems with self-hosting.
