Announcements Enrollment #138

Open logandgsmith opened 4 years ago

logandgsmith commented 4 years ago

Now that we've created an Announcements role that club members can subscribe to, we need to make a simple command for ALBot that allows members to enroll/de-enroll from it. There are many solutions for this issue.

Possible solutions:

Have ALBot post a message in the rules channel (or possibly a new channel... subscriptions?) that you can react to to join

Pro: Joining/Leaving is as easy as clicking a button
Pro: We can roll joining projects into this new cog
Con: What are Discord's reaction/watching limits
Con: If the bot is down and someone reacts will the bot pick it up?

Use the normal invocation to join Announcements role

Pro: The spam would drive attention to the new role/command
Con: Typing the command is more effort than clicking a button
Con: Someone would need to ensure that this information persists until we have the Club Backend correctly configured
- Alternatively, you could set up a cronjob for now?

Lets go with just !join announcements or !announcements for now. So add a feature for the bot to give a user the announcement role when they run that command. Some resources: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html
