Make the bot consider pings for help as "occupied" channels until a time out

[eshom]

Let's say someone pings @first-respondR, the bot would check if the channel is occupied. If it's not, it will consider the channel to be occupied by the user that pinged @first-respondR. We'll make the occupied channel state last, let's say, 30 minutes. After that time, the channel will be freed. If a user pings @first-respondR while the channel is still occupied, it will pop up and say: "Sorry, this channel is currently occupied. Try another channel." or something of the sort.

Thanks for opening @eshom. I was thinking something like this:

1. Have two separate Discord categories.
   -- General R Help: Available
   -- General R Help: Occupied

2. For the channels that are in General R Help: Available, a user can claim that particular channel by typing their question. After the question is posted, the channel is then moved to General R Help: Occupied.

3. The channel(s) in General R Help: Occupied will remain there until a certain threshold of inactivity is met, OR by invoking a command like $close or $end sending the channel back to the General R Help: Available category and also posting a message saying the is now available and perhaps a brief blurb on asking a proper question...

I'm thinking the question should be pinned to the channel too when it is occupied and it will automatically become available in 15-30mins of idle.
