Comb through the Discord Bot Ideas doc and convert everything to issues

Issue Description Template

# Legacy Idea
'copy paste the legacy idea word for word here'

---
'add clarifications to the idea here'

---

• [ ] Ensure all ideas in the doc have been highlighted (added purple color for keeping progress)
  • [ ] Should ask about the status of yellow ones however
  • [ ] After full highlight, clear the doc so its blank (The doc will remain as a place where users can enter ideas, and we will process them into issues like above)*
• [ ] Ensure all ideas in the >idea command have been converted into issues
  • [ ] Clear existing db for >idea cmd (The >idea cmd will remain as a place where users can enter ideas, and we will process them into issues like above)*

• [x] Do we wanna add the "completed" ideas here and mark them as complete for tracking?

  *There are 2 separate ways to submit ideas as a user now, those being the doc and the >ideas command. With the issues list we would have 3 separate boards for writing issues. Do we want to keep this current system, or can we ideally redirect users to write issues directly in the repo itself (with instructions on how to do so in place of the old idea submission forms)? If we switch to the direct issue submission, we would have to enforce searching through the issue board to ensure the user isn't creating a duplicate issue, which is unfortunately not automatic unlike in GitLab. For those who don't follow enforcing we can mark as duplicate

Hmm this raises some good questions.

Long form idea submission that uses images, etc. to convey what the user wants should probably be directed to the github issue board (though I imagine people will be adverse to creating gh accounts).

I intended to have a leaderboard that tracks ideas, but submitting ideas via the doc/gh issues wouldn't count as it would count the number of /idea submit's per user. This leaderboard was meant to be just an estimate of the number of ideas submitted (to encourage users to submit more ideas), so this inaccurate count could be fine.

So:

• I think we should make the doc read only and stop supporting idea submission there (I dont think we've had anyone submit ideas there for a long time anyway). This would leave submitting ideas via /idea and via github issues.
• Then for /idea command:
  • We can either remove it and its leaderboard altogether
  • Or add github issue creation automation to it, having the user specify the title and description (I feel this would help encourage and make it super easy for users to submit small form ideas)
  • If we keep it and do this, we could eventually incorporate retrieving the github issue list to more accurately track the number of ideas submitted for the leaderboard

    Do we wanna add the "completed" ideas here and mark them as complete for tracking?

• I think ideally we would do this, but probably not worth the effort. I think we should only add incomplete ideas and just mark them as complete on the read only doc
