Cleanup scam help threads #655

Description

@Zabuzard

Motivation

Sometimes people flood all channels with scam messages, such as Discord Nitro scam. When that happens, the bot picks up the message in #ask_here and creates a new help thread for them.

While we do have Dyno-Automod cleaning up bad messages and further our own ScamBlocker doing so, we still have a trailing help thread left over, since its created by the bot.

As of today, mods have to notice and manually delete (not just close) such threads.

Proposal

We should simply delete threads that have been created by people who have been banned. We already have a database table that lists to each thread the author. So we could simply react to the event of someone being banned, check all their recent threads (<10 minutes) and just delete them.
