Small idea I just thought of, if people are going to be constantly using the bot in the dedicated channel it might get cluttered and the instruction message could get lost. Might be an idea to remove all bot command messages and replies after !reset has been called to clean up the channel.

I think if we want to do that we should do it properly. Deleting messages from old sessions isn't really going to help there since no one should need to scroll back that far anyways.

But i certainly agree that cleaning up the clutter is a good idea. What might be an idea is try to do a "proper" interface. Have one message from the bot at the beginning of the channel and delete all other messages. The bot edits that top message to inform people of what is happening, who is in the queues, who is in which teams etc.. That way every command can be immediately deleted and everyone has a clear view of what is happening.
Of course there are still some issues with this idea. For example how feedback with commands like the proposed enableping command should work. But i think as a general aim that would be the cleanest solution.
