Is editing already summited posts possible? As the bot gets used more and more that could be useful.
An alternative would be a possible removal of an event (and awarded points for that event) and then the user manually adds the event again with the correct info.

Editing should be possible.

Thinking more on it raised some issues. I have to consider how to do this more. It becomes tricky with limited weekly points. It might encourage me to rework how a few things work in the backend which might result in the loss of points. Might also combine with another ticket that might have me store event participants in a database.

Maybe don't want a button that is visible to everyone. Could have a command that takes in the message ID that needs to be updated. The bot then reads the message and recreates the form with the old data populated. It then fills out the points as needed.

For points, I could take the date of the message submission and remove points from the weekly limit and the points and then add back. The only issue is if someone is maxed and doesn't gain points from the event, then is removed and loses points. IDK this is a tough one. This is where a different calculation/record method of points would be a good idea.
