Discord Forums have a limitation where each of them can only have 20 tags. With the current system, after 11 seasons, the bot won't be able to create the Season XX tags. Furthermore, the more seasons there are, the slower the command will be since it has to iterate through every thread and there isn't a quick way to do so provided by Discord.

Solution

• Thread IDs created by /tilestrat are to be stored in a table, alongside any metadata needed for the command to work, that was previously gotten from the thread's applied tags.
• Have Season XX be included in the thread's title to make searching easier even if the bot should happen to be offline.

This solves both scalability and speed at the cost of having to carefully monitor all threads and properly sync the database.

Suppose there's 3 tiles expiring at the following times:

• FBF 1:33:29
• CAG 1:33:32
• CBF 1:52:19

The function check_decay loops every 5 seconds, then checks the tile that expires the soonest from the current time. This means if check_decay loops at 1:33:28 and then at 1:33:33, it will correctly ping for FBF, but skip CAG, since its expire time is before the current time and will therefore ignore it.

Solution

Either:

• Group decay pings that happen between 5 seconds of each other
• Don't check the next tile to expire from the current time, but rather from the expire time of the last expired tile
