No support, pretty easy to join the Sythe community discord and dm a Mod/Admin Role at the top right of the server...

Not everyone uses discord and we shouldn't have to leave the site to be able to communicate with staff. That goes for everyone IMO.

I like this point. Not all users on Sythe use discord, and it is not in the rules that you need a discord account. To accommodate those users, they should be allowed to private message staff.

I think the majority of things should be able to be dealt on Sythe. I don't see a reason to go off-site to get in touch/assistance from staff. It should be accessible within Sythe, cause it's here we operate. Not discord.

Support.

 

I don't think DNT users should have to leave Sythe.org to contact staff members with questions. The abuse argument really just doesn't hold any weight either, IMO. Seems like a bogus excuse.

I 100% support this suggestion, so long as it's something easy to implement / feasible.

I can see DNT users abusing this and spamming mods. Staff have their Discords listed. They can pm us there.

Unsure of the logic here, but the same applies for the inverse. Why are we actively encouraging users to move away from this website? PM's are the primary and original method of communication.

Furthermore, arguing that a user who is trying to have their DNT resolved, would actively sabotage their own DNT removal is comical at best.

Also, all that's required is @Sythe adding in PM permissions for DNT users in ACP.

They could but that would just push them further away from wanting to resolve their DNT. Instead of giving them the option to abuse the PM systen (when Discord is the better way to communicate anyways), it's not worth implementing in the first place (in my opinion).

See above. DNT users can spam you on discord far easier, than this website. This abuse argument is antiquated and has no merit.

No support. Communicate with the available sources that we have currently. All this would do is get abused.

Are you just parroting what staff say, or can you critically think for yourself?

This should end this suggestion, tbf.

Why?

Why?

Glad to see you’re back to adding zero value to the community again.

I stand by what I said.

Yes, but WHY? Is your reasoning solely, 'it can be abused'?

No need to get upset, we're debating and discussing the validity of why or why not this should be approved.

You’re asking me why it can be abused?

Idk man I feel like you’re upset because no one takes you seriously anymore.

The irony in everything you say is palpable. Feel free to continue attacking me though, if it makes your argument for not supporting this stronger.

All this would do is get abused.

The current stance is, 'PM staff on Discord', 'PM's will get abused'. How does allowing DNT users to PM staff members increase the rate of potential abuse, when said abuse is far more easier to carry out via Discord? The current argument is PM's can be abused, assumedly because it's somehow easier to do so than discord. Which to me, makes absolutely zero sense.

Secondly, why would we actively encourage users to NOT use this website.

What surprises me the most is the fact that so much energy is put in this discussion in contrast to other suggestions, because I believe that its relevance is very marginal.

Having said that, I don't really see the harms of this suggestion and if they're there, they are minimal. Support.

 

[Delta Squad]

If they are going to allow ex-scammers etc back just to keep user numbers up they should have full access to the site, and all its features.

I personally don't agree with letting users back with a DNT, they say its to curve vading and more scamming but whos to say they don't do that anyways. This site has a shitty history of letting people back, just so they can scam again... cough cough plznate cough cough

It's just life man. Some people make mistakes and learn from them and some people don't.

I think DNT is a good way to show people you've changed.

 

This is already in pending suggestions. regardless I support this as well. Helps (even if just a little) keep the site active.

 

Support with also support of being able to prevent a user from spamming if they do not like an outcome/answer from a mod.

 

[Agile life]

Support on this, although there have been lots of comments about people messaging staff on discord, I found some of the times when a DNT person messages a staff member they are just ignored. But additionally it keeps a clear record for anyone that may worry about either party deleting messages.

 

Support. I think anyone should be able to contact staff.

 

[Fuecoco]

Support because I agree with @Fit 's arguement.

 

[Buldak]

Since between contacting a moderator between sythe and discord plus ive read that many mods just ignore, it would open a door of any kind of scam with fake discord accounts, for which most new people could fall under the clutches of malicious people. SUPPORT.
