XP/Level system

[ElementalMP4]

Server admins will be able to enable/disable the system
Members can check their own XP and level with a command, as well as viewing a leaderboard (or maybe top 10) for the server
Admins should be able to choose role rewards when a level is reached
XP cards could be shown with an image instead of an embed or text message

Here I have made a 1st iteration design spec for the Level system:

Feature Functionality
• When a message is received, the user’s experience will randomly increase by 5-15 points.
• Users may check their experience/level/guild rank with a level command.
• Users may see the top 10 most active members of a server with the top or leaderboard command.
• Admins may add and remove xp from users using the addxp and remxp commands.
• Admins may choose which channels will not gain xp using the noxp command.
• Admins may set all xp levels back to zero with the resetxp command.
• Admins may choose perk roles with the perk command.

Backend Requirements
• New database entity called LevelConfig which will contain the noxp channels for the guild, the perk levels and their roles, and the guild id.
• New database entity called UserExperience which will contain the User ID, the Barista Server ID, the chosen colour by the user (or the default) and User experience. Levels should be calculated upon request.
• New entity methods should include methods to return calculated level, next level, rank and xp to next level.
• When the user requests their level using the level command, they should be given an image which will show their profile picture, along with their rank, level and experience information, server boost status and chosen background colour. An external API will be used for the image (https://vacefron.nl/api/)
• A service should be made which will automatically check for a level configuration in the server the message is from, and if one exists, the user’s experience should be incremented.
• All levelling routines and commands should use methods from this service to get and set persistent data. Levels and ranks should not be calculated in the commands.

Please read and comment on anything you think should be changed, or that you think is incredibly stupid.
