How to Use

Whenever somebody chats in the channel specified in config.json, the channel will be locked until there is no activity spotted for the amount of time specified in config.json (I've currently set it to five minutes, but you can change it if needed).

The channel will be unlocked until the next person chats in it, and the cycle repeats. You can also see the status of the channel from the channel name at any given time. If it is unlocked, it will show a 🔓. Otherwise, it will show 🔒.

Note: Make sure the default permissions for the specified channel are as shown:

1. @everyone
   • READ_MESSAGES: true
   • SEND_MESSAGES: true
2. Bot user or role
   • READ_MESSAGES: true
