IT seems possible (but is it desirable?) to have a Mention for a specific role. when we post maps to Discord forums.
So one could subscribe to that role and be notified of every new map, or perhaps in future, the ma maker could be the "role" and folks could be notified if their favorite map maker uploads a new map.
Any takers?

Pretty sure if the ping would happen in the forum thread, it wouldn't ping anybody who hasn't already joined it, mind if I test this by pinging you in some thread?
dawn magnet
go ahead
rocky spade
try exiting/unfollowing this one :)

I pinged Fire in a thread that he was not in and he got it. 🙂
by "exit" do you mean "unfollow"?
rocky spade
oh ok
dawn magnet
you are right as well, I did not get a ping, let me try be in a different channel altogether . Give me 5 seconds and try again.

@dawn magnet hmm, still gives your name when I type @ for some reason

what's the projected use case for being notified about a new map? there's usually so many maps out there
rocky spade
Personally would see potential for game mode specific pings, but uh... Would need a easy way to add more

Map type, map maker? Mverse maps? I'm happy to brainstorm around this

there's only so many role slots though
dawn magnet
oh? TIL
that seems as if it should be enough for a while.. Discord has 250 max roles
ember jolt
i suppose that's true, sounds like hell though
dawn magnet
well, we don't have to do it, jsut an off-the-cuff idea
vague trail
When map uploads are infrequent, there is benefit in pinging to let people know to fire up the old game.
I also see benefits of certain map modes, ie certain CW4 tags could add a Discord tag and ping a specific role.
Anything more than this sounds a bit tricky to maintain.
