Hello everybody,

I am trying to make a Moderation system for a Discord Bot using MongoDB.
I am trying to put all moderation cases in a specific collection by referencing the moderation collection but I am unsure on how I could do the population.

Please note that I have recently started leveraging MongoDB/Mongoose more, so I don’t know a couple things as of yet.
