Question

I have been asking lots of questions lately about discord.py and this is one of them.

Sometimes there are those times when some people spam your discord server but ki

Something like

silent_channels = set()

@BSL.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.channel in silent_channels:
        if not message.author.server_permissions.administrator and  message.author.id != ownerID:
            await BSL.delete_message(message)
            return
    await BSL.process_commands(message)

@BSL.command(pass_context=True)
async def silent(ctx, length=0): # Corrected spelling of length
    if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator or ctx.message.author.id == ownerID:
        silent_channels.add(ctx.message.channel)
        await BSL.say('Going silent.')
        if length:
            length = int(length)
            await asyncio.sleep(length)
            if ctx.message.channel not in silent_channels: # Woken manually
                return
            silent_channels.discard(ctx.message.channel)
            await BSL.say('Waking up.')

@BSL.command(pass_context=True)
async def wake(ctx):
    silent_channels.discard(ctx.message.channel)

Should work (I haven't tested it, testing bots is a pain). Searching through sets is fast, so doing it for every message shouldn't be a real burden on your resources.
