💡 Allow the choice of autothreading on only messages from a certain user, bot, or role

[DMFriends]

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it would be nice to be able to choose which user or bot in my server to automatically create threads on.

[MarcusOtter]

I think this would be pretty cool, we could add a mentionable parameter to /configure auto-threading so one could pick a certain role or user.

Yes that threads will be created just from messages from some user/role. This should also allow that threads will be made from bot's messages.

That's exactly what I was going for. Roles could actually be cool too, in addition to regular users and bots.

@MarcusOtter Just wanted to mention that the include-bots parameter would probably not be needed if we were to implement this.

Also, in case it isn't clear: I don't know TypeScript very well, but I looked at the configure.ts and configHelpers.ts files, and I have a rough idea of what we would need to do to implement this, but again, I don't know TypeScript well, so I was hoping you would be able to implement this yourself. Thanks again!

@MarcusOtter Any updates on this? (Not urgent, just wondering where you're at with this.)

[MarcusOtter]

I've had a fever for a week but still think this is a good idea :)
It's not of the top of my priorities in this project (and this project is not my top priority among my projects) but I'll happily start looking at it after #60

Oh, that's too bad, hope you are well now :)
That's totally fine, again not urgent. Thanks!

This is exactly what I need for my discord server as well. If it could thread in one channel based on mentions and allow bots, this would be perfect! I have YAGPDB reacting to specific mentions, but I need it to create a thread and it’s unable to. Yours would fill that gap! Very excited for this feature!

Hey @MarcusOtter , looks like #60 is done, have you started working on this? (No worries if you haven't.)

[MarcusOtter]

No updates on this right now, but it might be closed in favor of #93 in the future as that would cover more use cases (including this one)

I see, thanks!

Closing in favor of #93 which will accomplish the same thing
