[DENIED] Adding non spam forums section to discord

[Pikachu]

I know this was done before but didn't really work well because it was put at the bottom, I would like to see this retired and tested,

EDIT I MEAN GENERAL DECISION SECTION!

My suggestion is simple, keep current layout, just change "Sythe" to spam forums and then make new sythe section. and put spam forums under sythe section and over help.

As the member of spam forums, I really don't think it's good to look for the site overall, as much as love troll and joking around, I do think the site image could use a little improvement. Also, don't think it looks good that it's the first section you see in the discord

example of cases of what I mean:
Personal Input on the Sythe Community Discord

There have also been plenty of examples of inside the discord I've seen members just looking for general help

Tdrl, add section to discord for general talks, was done before but don't think it was executed well.

No point, community has already conformed to the idea that discord is for kek's and that we can have fun there trolling or having a good time, you don't have to be there if you don't want to. Plus people have normal conversations there all the time so, no support.

 

[Pendulum]

I can't say I have any real reasons against it, I just like Discord being a more relaxed version of Sythe and having it less restrictive (spam forum rules) makes it more enjoyable.

 

[Teeto]

Support. It’s seems unprofessional for a new person to join the official Sythe discord and immediately they get bombarded with unwarranted aggression. (No hate to the people that do it, I do it all the time :^)

 

[Shigure]

Support. I'd like to see this as well, would be nice to have a place to talk without idiots blowing up the chat sometimes. Could be useful when its after school hours and the 14 year olds get loud and wanna have internet drama/spam fights

 

[Champ]

I support this suggestion, going to leave it open for other feedback on it.

Myself personally, I don't get involved with the spam side of things, so I could see this as a benefit to myself. Regardless, I will see what the community thinks.

Would like to bump this, it would be nice for the community to have a more serious side after standing back and looking at the big picture, so not everyone needs to participate in spam related stuff, can also be professional, also I quoted you Champ as maybe to add to this, could a suggestions section also be added to discord? As a way for members to discuss things more freely off forum and then move it onsite if it appears to have good feedback?

 

[Idolized]

I support this idea.
Let’s not get this confused, I DO enjoy the spam forum and I do partake in the spam forum section of Sythe.
However; I am not very active on the Discord, reason being is I do most of my Sythe use on Mobile
(70-80%)
Because it’s Mobile, I have to silent the Discord, and I only respond to the Discord if I am tagged.
Having the Discord changed to the general rules of Sythe would allow for quality conversation / Questions / Concerns/ Suggestions etc.
This would open the door for mobile users like me, to allow notifications for the Sythe Discord and play an active rule in it, due to it not being blown up with random trolling and such.
Once again, I still think the Spam Forum rules is valuable, but containing it to a specific area would be great and allow for new people to not feel “Left out” in the convo.
I know I felt like that about the spam forum when I was a first time user of the website.
So much trolling going on that it’s hard for a new user to discern where they can jump in and be accepted.
Just my two cents!

 

[WantaCookie]

support. I do not participate iin the discord simply cause its just spam and trolling most the time, unless I am tagged. A new section like this would be nice for things that can be taken more serious.

The only issue I could see coming out of this is upholding the sythe rules if you’re trying to add non-spam forum discussions ect.

Not everyone is verified on the discord with their sythe account correct?

If this is the case how are you supposed to uphold any rules that are broken by non verified discord users?

you can set it so only certain roles can access certain text/voice channels. they can just set it to verified+

Got it. In that case I support. Would be nice to be able to add this then

 

[Time Crunch]

Support, maybe more users would use the Discord in this case

 

[Wonderland]

This would only separate activity that is already sparse. No support.

 

[Rivenstarz]

Support, it would also give new members a better intro into the discord rather than being thrown straight into the current one thats there.

My quandaries are:

1. Would people actually use it? Last time no one did.
2. What would it be used for? There's a few obviously spammy things, but I doubt even if we did have it, that'd it'd be much different than our current chat. And how would we punish people who "spam" it? Kicking them or infracting them seems like a high price when maybe they thought they weren't spamming.

I don't know, if you don't think about it, it sounds nice, but when I think about it in practice it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

My quandaries are:

1. Would people actually use it? Last time no one did.

The issue with it last was it was at top of the discord and replaced the spam forums was moved down, this moved all troll's meme's to it and rules were not followed, after this, it was moved to the very bottom of the discord, which if you know anything about discord's, the channels at very bottom received very little traction hence why I suggested to put it blow the spam forums, it makes a lot more sense to this then have all categories channels such as religion , vaping etc.

Basically, if you read the thread, I explained how I believe it was incorrectly executed last time. the difference between this and last time is the idea to put it below spam forums and top of help, which means the channel will get the traction it needs to be active,

with this being said, the main reason for this suggestion because there multiple users who don't partake in the spam forums unlike me, this suggestion is for them.

2. What would it be used for?

For a user who doesn't partake in spam forums, and doesn't want to vigorously attacked or trolled.

And how would we punish people who "spam" it? Kicking them or infracting them seems like a high price when maybe they thought they weren't spamming.

I can see your point of view on this point, my suggestion would to just ban them from the channel as you can do that with discord. this would mean they couldn't see this section, but other use could.

There are currently 7 admins, and I know for fact they can do this easily.

Can we post porn and gore? if yes, then support.

 

[DesireX]

Apart from occasional outbursts we don't seem to have any real issues of toxic behaviour, when we do they seem to fizzle out after awhile. The users who are active on a day to day basis aren't vicious trolls, if the discord was to be changed I don't think there'd be a big change on the amount of users who actively use it. The change could have an adverse affect and lower the activity.
