Automated temporary voice access for new users #3350

Description

@Mindful-Developer

Mautovoice (moderated auto-voice) would let new users bypass the voice gate by granting temporary permissions to un-gated users when a supervising moderator is present in a public voice channel. This will hopefully cut down on spamming and provide a better experience for people wanting to chat on the server.

How it should work:

  • System activates when a moderator-role member (not mod-team) joins a public voice channel and is not deafened.
  • Bot automatically grants temporary speaking permissions to un-gated users in that channel.
  • Users with active timeouts or those who join the server after the moderator has entered the channel will not receive permissions.
  • Permissions automatically revert when the last active, non-deafened moderator leaves or deafens. The standard voice gate reactivates.
  • Users receive in-chat notifications about temporary permissions. The bot moves them to an AFK channel and back to apply changes without manual re-connection. This also happens when the permissions are revoked.
  • Moderators can use !mautovoice to permanently toggle their system activation preference. This preference will be persisted across bot reboots.

For voice raids, moderators can quickly deactivate the system by using !mautovoice
