Non-member can't be whitelisted about modmail

[Scyye]

I feel like all arguments that accept "member" should be changed to user

is there any place this wouldnt be acceptable?

I think checking user has more API requests to discord than member does (I could be wrong), so it's better to use member where possible. Also there's not many commands that could really benefit from the user arg other than whitelist and blacklist, which I updated in the pr.

The fetch_user method in discord.py and the fetch_member method for fetching a member in a guild comparison of API requests

1. fetch_user

   • Purpose: Fetches a user globally, not limited to a specific guild.
   • API Requests: Generally uses fewer API requests as it's a global search for a user.

2. guild.fetch_member

   • Purpose: Fetches a member in a specific guild.
   • API Requests: May use more API requests, especially in large guilds, as it's specific to a particular guild.

If you search for the remaining cases where member is still used, you'll realise why they cannot be changed to user.
