Event Scheduler Feedback
Awesome feature. I think it would be nice if the "I'm Interested" button could be linked to a sign-up sheet or just an information page about the event. I just had an event that was using this feature as a test case and several of our users thought clicking "I'm Interested" automatically signs them up to the event. We use a separate form to gather information about those interested in our events so the button alone is not enough to be officially signed up.
Obviously, in this case, this is my bad for not leaving clear instructions on how to sign up for our events (including using markdown), but I'd like to be able to use the "I'm Interested" button as a way to redirect traffic and figured it doesn't hurt to request using the button in this way as a feature.
Another thing that currently bothers me about the feature is that it doesn't ping people that are interested. That seems like a big oversight for a reminder feature and would like the option to allow an event to ping people.
Lastly, this feature needs a recurring event feature. It's just nice to have and saves time on weekly event planning. A reminder feature that drops a message in a specific channel would be super nice too.

As a server owner(Not this account) the reasoning for having an option to ping for an event is because "why would someone click i'm interested for a reminder and not want to be pinged for it?" it would definitely help with several servers ability to gather people/players when the event begins. at the current moment, server owners have to ping either everyone or a set role that is made for events. it is not an optimal way to bring users into events.
as for the recurring events feature, there are several servers who do have recurring events that happen weekly or even semi-daily. it'd be nice to be able to allow folks the ability to set these up for less administrative headache.
also the ability to use different colored text within an events description to better point out important details.

Maybe a bot can help with this...
