"Coppercode" Scam Prevention #156

Add a random number between 1-99 on a booking once made, that appears on the booking card for the Adv/GC and is sent in DM by Gluth if a Discord Tag is defined.

This number is the "Coppercode" - the Adv/GC who then trades the customer has to trade that amount of copper to the customer for the trade to be initiated. If no copper presented, customer should not trade at all.

An advertiser will be able to tell any non-discord users what the Coppercode is ready for GC collection, and explain to the customer about the scam prevention. For those in tickets or who have Discord and are raid booking, they will get this code in DM from Gluth.

Additions could be made for Gluth DM (explanation of the code and how to use it), the ICC Addon (highlight field or reminder for GC/Adv to use it).

For non website sales, the concept can still be used in booking tickets without the need of any bots - just tell the customer you will trade xxCopper to them during the trade, and not to trade anything unless the copper is there.

Ignore using 69 where possible 😩.

I really like this idea. Do we need to wait for any tech solution or should we start having advertiser use this method to get used to it?
