Commands Available

	===Commands Available===		===Commands Available===
			Generally speaking, all of these commands may not be useful. They are merely implemented in the exclusive case that they are needed. For instance, a tournament organizer probably will never use the $addadmin command. But in the event they need help doing something and can't figure it out, they can "add" a new administrator to help them out. It has the potential to become helpful, so I implemented it now instead of when it is needed. Additionally, "enable" and "disable" may not have any immediate use. Just know they exist for a purpose. More in-depth knowledge of each command can be found on the [[FFA/FFABot/Commands]] page.
