Removing Priviledged Intents

[enshael]

We have modmailbot deployed in a large server and discord is flagging the privileged intents (https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/40281523410967-Changes-to-Privileged-Intent-Access-for-Discord-Apps)

For Message Content Intent, I believe this is primarily for handling the prefix commands. The suggestion by Discord is to move to slash commands. The bot should still be able to receive pings and dms without the intent. (https://docs.discord.com/developers/gateway/you-might-not-need-a-privileged-intent#exceptions-when-you-get-message-content-without-the-privileged-intent). Are there plans to implement slash commands?

As for the Server Members Intent, what functionality needs this?

Message Content is also used for logging thread contents (non-reply messages), so even with slash commands it would still be needed.

I'm looking into the bot's intent needs and making updates/guidance in the near future!
