Description of the Feature Request

The Discord server gets a lot of general programming questions, outside the scope of TOP, which per the rules aren't answered. It would be neat to have a command that outputs a boilerplate message about how this isn't server for their questions. While I am aware that for the most part this bot is migrating to slash commands, I would propose that in this instance a text command version is also added, given I could see it being used (mostly) in a running message

Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] A new slash command is created which when used prints a message about what questions are in scope (proposed name `/scope`)
- [ ] A new text command is created which uses the same message (proposed name `!scope`)

Additional information

This is fantastic! May I also suggest including a link to the following section in Community Rules

Ask questions about content or projects in our curriculum The purpose of this server is to support people when they run into issues doing our curriculum. This allows our volunteers to know the exact scope of your problem and correct any poor advice. In addition, this limited scope helps us identify areas in our curriculum that we need to improve.

Do not ask for advice/help on homework or personal projects, even if the topic is covered by our curriculum. Instead, research other servers/communities that offer general programming help.

Only just spotted this got proposed in the discord suggestions a few weeks ago: https://discord.com/channels/505093832157691914/1277817788467122237. Willing to step aside if they still want to do it
