Ping role when queue sniping starts #15

If possible it would be cool to have a bot where you can react to get/remove a queue snipe role Then someone can ping that role in advance when planning to queue snipe

If we end up doing this I imagine people who want the ping can just type !enableping or something to receive a role that pings them.

The main thing is when we would actually ping them? As there is no set 'this is where we begin queue sniping' moment that exists within the bot. Maybe we could just have a !ping command for Queue Snipe Admins but I would like the potential for abuse to be as low as possible.

I think the command idea is certainly easier to implement. Also considering the way were using the bot on the server i think its also easier for users. Instead of searching for the message to react to you can just put the command in the channel description. Where the reaction mechanism really shines is when you have many things you want to enable/disable per user and you have a dedicated channel with the messages. Which is not the case yet for us.

As for the pinging can we just give every admin the permission to ping the queue snipe role? It would make things easier. Otherwise a !ping command would be fine. We might need sessions for some features in the future but even then having a dedicated ping command would still be beneficial in my opinion.
