Enabled with !coordinator start and reverted/halted with !coordinator stop.
When in Coordinator mode, SPADS will not receive any commands from players, instead they will all be intercepted by Teiserver which will send it's own commands to SPADS or in some cases allow a passthrough.
Currently SPADS executes changes to the battle lobby based on commands from players; Teiserver facilities the commands and as such can perform a Man in the middle interception. When Coordinator mode is engaged it will mean SPADS is given commands by Teiserver which will itself interpret and handle messages; only passing on to SPADS what it wants to.
The coordinator bot is run directly by the server and will be present in the #coordinator channel. It will respond to messages by saying it doesn't respond to them; I am expecting to add functionality in this area.
