I noticed that there is not an insignificant number of entries in both credit_names.txt and spritebot_credits.txt where the only "name" provided is a discord snowflake. (Like <@!195280695009083392>)
The problem with discord snowflakes, is that they can't easily be converted to usernames.
- You need to be in the same server as the user that the snowflake belongs to.
- Unless you break TOS by using a "self-bot", you have to manually copy and paste the snowflake into a message to get the actual name. This wouldn't be bad for a handful of snowflakes, but it doesn't scale very well.
I would like to suggest including the username alongside the discord snowflake to make crediting easier.
