Create or edit multiple AutoMod rules at once

[RazzerDE]

Hello,

I’m developing a security bot that aims to help administrators quickly set up efficient AutoMod rules using a single command. We utilize Discord’s built-in “AutoMod” functionality for this idea. We have 9 out of 9 possible rules, each serving its own important purpose.

However, I’ve noticed that I need to perform a new API request for each AutoMod rule, which means a total of 9 requests per guild that uses this command. This can become quite annoying, especially considering rate limits. When creating these 9 rules, my bot takes more than ~20-70 seconds due to these rate limits.

My proposed solution is to allow specifying AutoMod rules as a list in guild edit, similar to how ForumTags works. With this enhancement, all rules could be created in a single API request. Not only would this significantly speed up the code, but it would also reduce the number of API queries and simplify AutoMod management for bots in general.
