quiet mode to make bot responses less verbose for large chatrooms #89

Matrix was used as the event platform for the F40 release party. As people discovered the cookie-giving features, chat got a little spammy, especially with the !cookie count command.

I think it may be nice to have a "quiet" mode that does something like:

move bot replies to DMs or another room
reduce the verbosity of longer replies
rate limits replies or batches them into one message .etc

hmmm, not sure if this is worth the hassle TBH.

People can DM zodbot itself and use these commands if they want.
the only command we really have that outputs all this is that one particular command. (and only for a handful of users too @nirik has been around for a while)

yeah i think you might be right. Been trying to figure out how to avoid doing too much Yak shaving lately haha. Apologies for the extraneous issue!
