.corrections

[gaunt geyser]

Malgré le fait qu'on encourage les gens à se corriger, on comprend que ce n'est pas toujours désirable vu que ça peut déranger la conversation et créer de la frustration infructueuse. C'est pour ça que le serveur a une convention où les membres peuvent ajouter une astérisque (\✱) à la fin de leur pseudo pour montrer qu'ils ne veulent pas être directement corrigés sans qu'ils le demandent. À la place, les autres peuvent réagir avec une astérisque ( pour les petites corrections, pour les corrections plus grosses) au besoin, après quoi le membre peut se corriger lui-même, ou demander des corrections.

Est-ce que tu veux ajouter une astérisque à la fin de ton pseudo pour montrer que tu préfères ne pas directement avoir de correction ?

While we encourage members to correct each other, we understand this isn't always desirable as it can disrupt the flow of conversation and cause unnecessary frustration. This is why the server has a convention where members can add an asterisk (\✱) to the end of their name to express that they would not like to be outright corrected unless they ask. Instead, others may react to their message with an asterisk ( for small corrections, for bigger corrections) as needed, after which the member can make the corrections themself or ask for a correction.

Would you like me to add an asterisk after your nickname, to show that you prefer not to be corrected outright?

I agreeeeeeeeeeeee

[quick ice]

What colour would you make it?

[sudden dragon]

De nada, Phil will still ignore it but it’s a start init
I humbly disagree with the proposition : if the goal is to be more visible (so that, that damn Phil doesn't correct Nia by error), a badge is the wrong way ... as that damn Phil is using compact mode, and as you all know, badges are not displayed in compact mode.

[quick ice]

That damn Phil doesn’t*

I straight up don’t even know what compact mode is

Never heard of it

Screenshot ?

[sudden dragon]

it's for poor people with small screen, trying to cram as much text as possible in it

neither profile picture, nor badge

[quick ice]

[sudden dragon]

but ~ 2× more lines on screen

[warm sundial]

Also, anyone who already has a badge (tuteur, verified) wouldn't be able to have a visible badge

[quick ice]

Aren’t those usually advanced users who don’t really care about being corrected because it happens so rarely?

[warm sundial]

Advanced users can still make typos etc. and might not appreciate being corrected on them

[quick ice]

I see, I suggested this because I’ve just not come across a tutor or any certified user who has the in their name

[thorn harbor]

Blue cuz blues are the only ones who dont usually get it

[quick ice]

😂😂😂

also things that might lead ppl not getting it atm :

1. some ppl have never read or understood the ".corrections" explanations (it's an era of TL;DR). it's also not a frequent scheme elsewhere.
2. the asterisk is trailing after some others fancy or non latin characters in the user nickname, becoming less noticeable
3. being human and thus fallible

maybe a bot could help 🤔
if the bot notices that :
• someone answered to a user with ✱ in their nickname
• the answer include a * ✱
then the bot post a small reminder to not correct directly ppl with a "✱", and put a link to the explanations ?

or the bot could send a reminder by DM to the offender + add " ⚠️ " reactions to the unwelcomed correction

[warm sundial]

• would be complicated since it's used in formatting

[sudden dragon]

a bit complicated but not so much, if discord is able to differentiate "*" used for formatting and isolated "*", so can your algorithm

[warm sundial]

Actually it has a surprising amount of trouble doing that and formatting often gets fucked up on mobile

Sometimes on pc too, but usually pc is considered the "standard"

[sudden dragon]

well for a first version, you could simply react to msg with only 1 * or those containing a * surrounded by blanks (space or end of line). that would catch most of the "correction" messages
