[Feature Request] Specify channel(s) for bot to monitor

[prenetic]

It would be great if you could specify in config.json the server ID(s) and channel ID(s) for the bot to monitor to keep larger servers clean.

If a command is issued in an unmonitored channel, the bot should directly message the requester informing them to use one of the monitored channels on that server (providing a list of channel hotlinks).

If a command is issued in a monitored channel, then behave as normal.

@markokajzer I'd be down to grab this if you haven't implemented it already

[markokajzer]

I did not. Feel free! Your help is much appreciated 🙏

[zopz]

@markokajzer would you be able to add me as a contributor so that I can push up a branch? Or would you prefer me to fork it?

[markokajzer]

Forking is the way to go here :)

I thought I had included this in the original feature request but it looks like I forgot.

Since the bot can already remove messages, perhaps it would also make sense for the bot to remove any of the errant commands being sent to an unmonitored channel, since this was largely in the spirit of keeping channels clean.

[markokajzer]

Could you create a separate issue for this feature request? Will help keeping track of everything. :)

I thought this was about something else. Definitely a valid request!

[prenetic]

Sure thing, thanks.

[zopz]

I should be able to knock out both requests :)

[zopz]

Sorry if I'm just missing it - is there any kind of channel helper like userFinder? As far as I can tell voice channels are ID only

[markokajzer]

I don't think there is. You can create whatever you want if it is necessary. Feel free to reach out to me on the Discord for implementation specific and basically all other questions :D
