Ignoring exception in on_message' discord.py ignoring if statement

Question

I have this code in my discord bot using discord.py

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    if message.author not in config.sections() and message.content == '!!acc': #it seems to ignore this if statement and simply tries executing the code below
            config.add_section(str(message.author))
            config.set(str(message.author), 'Enemy', '10')
            config.set(str(message.author), 'Money', '0')
            config.set(str(message.author), 'Damage', '1')
            config.set(str(message.author), 'Level', '1')
            response = "Your Profile has been created, these are your stats: \nCurrent money: 0 \nCurrent Damage: 1 \nCurrent level: 1"
        
    elif message.content == '!!acc': #this is getting completely ignored too
        response = "Current money: "+str(config.get(message.author, 'Money'))+ "\nCurrent Damage " +str(config.get(message.author, 'Damage'))+ "\nCurrent level: "+str(config.get(message.author, 'Level'))

   

but whenever i type the command !!acc while already heaving an entry in the config i get the following error

Ignoring exception in on_message
