Additional Bot Integration Settings

With the advent of the new slash command API integrations, bots have been given a very powerful feature that server owners now have little control over. Although I'm all for the addition of more functionality, it'd be wise not to alienate server owners / moderators at the same time.

My suggestion:
There needs to be a way for server owners / administrators to disable individual bots from integrating with discord's default slash commands on a per channel or per server basis.

My Reasoning:
Lets say that a music bot decides to implement slash commands, but the moderation staff want to restrict that bot to a dedicated music channel. In the past, you could choose to prevent the bot from seeing any channels but the ones you wanted it active in.

But now, it's impossible to restrict that one bot to the music channel. The choices are to give up separating this music bot from the other bots, or to disable all slash commands for the foreseeable future. (This will only get worse as time goes on and more developers implement slash commands)
