Question

The diskord bot bans those who are forbidden to ban

The bot discord bans those who can not be baned, I set the variable "a" to the value "user" and then output it:

Code:

@bot.command()
async def ban(ctx, user: discord.User):
    a = user
    print (a)
    if a == "никнейм#0000":
        await ctx.send(f'пользователь в белом списке')
    else:     
        await ctx.guild.ban(user)
        await ctx.send(f'пользователь {user}/{user.mention} был забанен')

The user who was mentioned was removed (not the id, but the nickname itself, which I thought was strange), but when I wrote the condition that if a = = "nickname" is not banned, the user was still sent to the ban...

Better use the ID. This makes it much easier to write code, but it will be more difficult to understand.

if a.id == {whitelisted_id}:
    return await ctx.send("User in whitelist!")
else:
    #do your expensive stuff here

Note that the ID is an integer, not a string.
