Limit group pings to members of the group #5

Open ridingqwerty opened 3 years ago

ridingqwerty commented 3 years ago

Several community members have found the ability to ping a group that the ping-author isn't a member of to be a nuisance. This issue is just for tracking that and spitballing ideas as to how to limit or prevent this from occurring.

One idea I have seen thrown out is a !ping command managed by the bot, that can check the pinger's group membership before allowing the ping to go out. I'll make an issue there as well but if there's any other suggestions re: the issue that could be made outside of the bot's purview this would be a good place to add thoughts.

Ok, turns out there is already an issue filed with the bot: https://github.com/40-percent/40percent-bot/issues/35

Good to have this as a reference, let's keep this one open also just in case there's a solution that falls outside of our in-house bot
