Knuckles doesn't like us discussing suggestions in suggestion channels, and moving to #general just feels very out of place. How about a channel specifically for discussing suggestions made in #game-suggestions and #discord-suggestions ?
iron surge
Suggestion to allow discussions 👀 (in here I mean)
cobalt tendon
Frogman was the one who doesn’t want talking to clutter these chats and make it more difficult to find the actual suggestions
iron surge
I would say that this channel differs from game suggestion as this one is being contently looked at by mods aka people who have influence over what is being suggested for
normal ore
Yes, but we want to comment on suggestions. Say why they're bad or good, or brainstorm on if we could improve the idea. So naturally, we reply, and therefore clutter the suggestions behind. If we focus all discussions on a new channel, we can talk as much as we want to, we don't clutter the suggestions, and we could just post a new message about the "result" of our discussion.
worthy fulcrum

@iron surge ahh yes the influence these mods have on frogman :p
normal ore
And that feels very out of place. It's like someone puts a notice on a billboard, you read it, but then you go to the cafeteria to talk about it, where probably no one there has even seen the notice yet. Of course, you want to talk about it right in front of the billboard, where other people are reading it at the same time as you. And if you're the one that made the notice, this is the place you'd want to be at to hear feedback
paper tangle
Personally I think discussion about suggestions should just,,, be allowed here? So long as its relevant to suggestions and not just random chitchat, it shouldn't be that flooded, and I doubt staff would have that hard of a time reading daily backlog. A discussion channel wouldn't be a terrible idea either, but the amount of backlog would likely be the same if not more.
glass charm
It is allowed, Frogman himself said so. 🙂
His specific problem wasn't with discussions, it was when those discussions spiralled into off-topic stuff. 😅

There was one that was removed, you can ask Frogman why it was removed if you want more details

French channel was closed because it was barely used for anything else other than spam.
We can give the channel another try, but it will be closed again if it devolves into a glorified spam channel again

there is a fun little thing i do once and a while i like to call it a 5 minute sprite challenge all a do is generate 2 random pokemon and make a fusion sprite within 5 minutes here is an example of what could happen (i generated two golems so i decided to make a g-max golem and spent 5 minutes making a monstrosity)
so.. a channel for that would be pretty cool

We could have a role or a google doc to see who is accepting request
shadow trellis
I don't see a doc being kept up to date for more than a week, but I'll bring up the idea of a "accepting requests" role
tropic drift
I think that spriters can easily manage to put or remove their own pseudo from a google doc, its not that hard
and having a pinned message in #sprite-requests where you can react or unreact to have the role or have it remove could be easily done too
and maybe, if thats not too challenging, to have the bot to send a DM or keep an updated list of all the spriters who accept requests
paper tangle
I think a google doc would work decently, honestly. People can add/remove themselves at their own preference. Something basic with just "DiscordName#tag | Open/close (can do some very simple conditional formatting like on the sheet where its a green bg when open and red when closed, to make it easier to browse) | Notes (for people like Kiwi who might only be taking specific requests atm)"
Wouldn't need much if any upkeep, since everyone'd be responsible for adding/updating their own entry and whatnot. Easy enough to set up compared to a react-role. And provides an easy list of request-takers to browse, which would be tricky with a role.
I could set it up myself, honestly. I'm pretty familiar with sheets and it would only take a few minutes.
ta-da

We already had a google doc. People just forgot about it pretty quickly
polar locust
I think it's still on the reddit right?

So has anyone ever suggested adding a bot like Rythm or Groovy to the server? :o It'd be cool for vc
For the uninitiated: It's a jukebox bot that allows you to play music in vc so that everyone can hear, and anyone can add a youtube link to the queue. I will even volunteer myself as DJ role to make sure no one requests anything inappropriate, if need be x]
rotund nebula
I second that, if there's actually some rules that can prevent you from doing some "trolly" ways that some people seems like it's too annoying to them.

Usually I'd play earrape in my other servers because moderation is too lenient, so having mods be more vigilant with vc trolling would probably get them to shut up ||and maybe me||

We’re discussing both of those things
rustic laurel
Cool cool! Just thought I'd add my two cents regarding that second thing lol
worthy fulcrum
Add the process to become a spriter to #748299514141606008 .
This will make it easier to see/find and basically shows you, if someone has to ask for the role, that he/she didnt read the rules.
shadow trellis
I actually like the way it is currently done, because it forces new users to ask around and engage with the community a bit

I wouldnt call that engaging with the Community plus the Community usually answers with 
formal hazel
There is still a lot of important infos to learn, besides "how to become spriter", so teaching people to read the pins is still important (like sprite sizes, avoiding half-pixels, etc)
worthy fulcrum
but that is something they acquire on their way to become a spriter. Either the mods will tell them, when they made those mistakes or it will be shown to them in spritework
rustic laurel
Right, I get what you mean in theory Tomate but it doesn't exactly work that way in practice lol. Kek has a good point :o
But then again Aegide makes a good point too lmao

Make Katten Mod. They are always helping and they know alot about the game. Probs will be declined but they are really nice and i think that they hsould be mod
glass charm
When a couple of new mods (me and Tomate) were added a couple of months ago, Katten was heavily considered. 🙂
tropic drift
Or make a role awarded to membres of the community who help the most this server and its members
So they dont have the obligations of being mod and they cant decline it 
paper tangle
Something similar to the Voice rank on Pokemon Showdown, perhaps? Voices there are essentially considered the 'model citizens' of the channel- users who have shown to be friendly, helpful and active members of the community. They don't have staff responsibilities, but are often considered for staff positions at later dates if the server has need for them.
People like Kiwi, Katten, and Tene would be good candidates for something like that- they help quite a bit, whether it be with resources like the sprite chart and programs for the contests, or just helping new users and giving feedback.
Maybe the rank could simply be called "Helper"
little plover
Could just introduce Drivers as well and demote Knuckles down to that.
Honestly I don't dislike this idea. It's less terrifying than just having to choose new moderators out of users. I had no idea how that would go, but I'm glad it seems to have gone well for the most part. But when choosing from only a select few it makes life easier.
I uh, think I'll bring it up in the staff chat. 👀

Idk if this is possible but is there any way to sort by reactions? What I mean is sorting sprites from highest to lowest (or vice versa) based on the total number of reactions they received. Preferably by day, week, month, year, or all time.
Edit: As for why this would be a neat feature, a lot of sprites get buried under a mountain of other sprite uploads.
paper tangle
You'd probably have to program a bot of some kind to tally reactions, if it's even possible, and I doubt that'd be useful enough for anyone to bother with it. You're better off suggesting that as an actual discord feature suggestion to the devs of the app, rather than to a pokemon fangame discord.
tight topaz
It's doable from a bot perspective, Discord API does come with a reaction attribute on messages which you could attach to a simple html site or something with a leaderboard, but it'd probably take a bit of time to get up and running
I'd be down to set something up if there's enough interest, I've done some similar sites and have touched the discord api before, though I'd have to figure out a hosting solution
astral osprey
isnt adding addons to discord against the ToS
tight topaz
I think if you're modifying the binaries?
this would be a bot that crawls through the channel, and uploads the data to a remote hosted site, which I don't think is tos
yeah, it looks like it only talks about modifying discord the application itself, and I see other bots online that publish data so it's probably safe
cobalt tendon
Seems like a lot of effort to go through for something that's not really necessary or very useful in general
tight topaz
ok but don't you wanna know who's gotten the most reactions on their sprites
paper tangle
probably a mammuth sprite, at most I'm mildly curious but its not something I'd personally go out of my way to figure out because at the end of the day they're just brownie points
cobalt tendon
Sure, but it's more a passing curiosity, and it won't eat me up inside to not know
And a lot of great sprites just don't get many reactions sometimes when they're uploaded late at night
tight topaz
maybe I just get too excited when I hear any words resembling "arbitrary scorekeeping and stats" but if we don't want it I think that's fine, offer stands if y'all want me to look into it tho

but its questionable whether those are even a good database, as number of reactions is tied to overall server activity, which might fluctuate greatly in times as theese
tight topaz
for sure, might just be a fun project to set up when the programmer types on the server get bored lol
timber grotto
Wait so why isn't there a meme channel then?
shadow trellis
#spriter-general
balmy sonnet
Yes I'm aware the total number of reactions don't necessarily mean high quality, but it is often correlated with high quality. Either way it's just a suggestion so that people can appreciate generally higher qualities of art. There's thousands of sprites at this point. That's a lot of scrolling. Sometimes ya just want to see some nice sprites, ya know?
But I digress. It was just a suggestion

Meme channelll 😀

Is that really needed? 👀

You requested this earlier as well Zeo, maybe it hasn't been made since then because its not needed hmm?

Idk, it would be nice to have a channel that's just purely dedicated to posting memes, all the existing channels are sort generally about some other topic that isn't directly related with them

memeing most of the time just ends up being an utter shitshow, so no thanks
timber grotto

It hasn't been an issue but we have no need for a dedicated meme channel. People post meme in either #media #off-topic or #spriter-general for the active people among us

@formal hazel You know requests use names? So you’re gonna have to check names, not numbers

Although some people format names differently. 😦
cobalt tendon
If you mean people who swap the head and body or people who misspell, I don’t think there’s any way to get around just having to ping them

I mean spaces and such. 😅
cobalt tendon
Well discord doesn’t even take spaces or slashes into account when searching, so it doesn’t really matter
sharp obsidian
(What if we just ask people to use numbers instead, cause making them input 420 names is kinda wack
cobalt tendon
No
That makes it much harder to search the gallery for fusions because you not only have to know every gen 1-2 Pokémon’s Pokédex number, but you need to know the random dex numbers all the Pokémon past gen 2 have
cold lily
And trying to search the number in the gallery won't give any results, so the only way to know with what mon the number matches is to look in the game files, and that's not something everyone can do all the time

My data source only uses numbers, that's why i used them

iron plank
but https://aegide.github.io/ uses names so you seem to have a "database"
my idea was:
or something
formal hazel
Yes i do have a converter, but i wanted to do it quickly and not implement name-matching 
But in the future it wouldnt be that hard to add as a feature
formal hazel
my idea was:
- someone creates a request
- the bot checks, if its already there
...
I prefer when there is a big picture to show the sprite 
But it would be possible to have a "silent" version that does this
Hooo you meant sprite request, i see
formal hazel
my idea was:
- someone creates a request
- the bot checks, if its already there
...
If someones wants again to make a sprite request that was already done, we cant stop them
if they dont want to create a duplicate, they can search directly using discord to see if that was asked already
iron plank
i know but now and then some dont look in the gallery first. maybe they dont know about the search function. and then has to inform them angrily about their mistake
formal hazel
Alright, i understand your point.
I do not own the code for "sprite request" so i cant edit it, but i could "suggest" new code that would add this feature

But at least we could just reply to all there questions with #fusion-faq instead of anything else
paper tangle
If y'all get Dynobot in here (idr if it's already in the server or not) it has a tag function that works fairly well for commonly asked questions. The basic concept is you can create little tags so when you type, say, "?tag halfpixels" it'll bring up a little informational blurb, links, or images that answer the question rather than having to type out / find those links and images.
Here's some examples with both text info and links
I'd advise if they're used to make it so only staff can create tags though, we had a lot of random meme ones made when it was open to all users on another discord
glass charm
Dyno's already in the server as the one who says don't mention new Pokémon when you didn't mention new Pokémon. 😛

You can allow and disallow different roles. For example, you could make it so only Spriters can make a thread.

@rotund kettle Make it say to check that channel too
nimble shadow
If we stick with the thread system (which I really like and is really organized), can we come up with a system for pre-gallery checks so that we can draw attention to sprites we think are ready so others know to review them before it gets posted to the gallery? If it went how I'm thinking, we'd have some sort of custom reaction that if applied to a post with an attachment in #spriting-discussion , it would flag some sort of message in a channel (maybe a dedicated channel, more on that in a bit) something to the effect of "@ User believes a sprite is ready for the gallery. Please take a look at it before it gets posted. [message link]". If there was a dedicated channel that only the bot could post in, such as something like #pregallery or something, people could then mute the channel if they don't want to be notified of times when a sprite is ready for review. To further limit posts, the bot could check (maybe, if possible) if the person who left the reaction has the spriter role so that only spriters can trigger the bot.
formal hazel
Portuguese channel ?
formal hazel
If we stick with the thread system (which I really like and is really organized)...
We could also not use the thread feature for #spriting-discussion , since that threads about "sprites that require a lot of work" get burried and lack the feedback and visibility they need.
But of you really want to keep threads in #spriting-discussion , then #spriter-general could act as a pre-gallery to get final reactions/feedback.
And in the worst case, sprites can be removed from #sprite-gallery if someone knows a way to improve a sprite
nimble shadow
Yeah, well, the buried and requires a lot of work issue comes up with the non-thread version of #spriting-discussion as well, as it often comes down to sprites from less popular spriters getting ignored. We just need to all agree on how to draw attention to sprites, thread system or not.
formal hazel
Without threads, it's easy to re-post a picture and say "please help me i, got zero feedback last time" to get maximum visibility.
But that wont work with threads (unless another new thread is created, which defeats the purpose of one thread per sprite).
nimble shadow
True on the gaining visibility point, but I know for myself, I had to keep reposting under the old system because people would not take notice of my sprites, or when they did provide feedback, it was while someone else was giving feedback to someone else, so I couldn't tell if their comment applied to my sprite or theirs.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ in practice that's not how I've seen it working, if people don't have criticism nothing is posted except for reaction emojis sometimes, and no one in particular has (or feels they have) the authority to be the final say on if it's ready
cold lily
But if no one have the time to give feedback, they probably won't. Even if they reacted with an or something because they liked the design, it doesn't mean the execution is perfect
And people might not see the point to to give feedback if the post is too old

That would be one channel for 176400 or so mons and one channel for 420 mons. Seems balanced.

And of those 420, quite a few already have at least one custom sprite, so there'd be a lot of redundancy. We try and prevent channel bloat, because a lot of other servers have channels for a bunch of tiny niche stuff that doesn't need channels. 😅

It got some really good entries which i count as a win 👀, I feel like this contest idea has been suggested before, i don't know, it might just end up being boring if used too much though, a Random Contest is more just like, a Contest without a theme, also we already have contests now and again that only uses the least sprited pokemon, which gives them some love, i suppose.

i think an optional role that is pinged whenever a new version of the game is released would be super helpful, as it would let more people know immediately when developments like the 5.0 beta are made
shadow trellis
I feel like simply pinging everyone would have been appropriate for something big like that
echo schooner
but theres probably going to be a bunch of patches in the near future and some people might not want to be pinged everytime theres a beta patch, but testers might want to know asap
cobalt tendon
I suppose it would work similar to the contest role
deep flume
maybe this has been suggested before but i think it would be good to use the pins of the #announcements channel to bump the relevant resources (ie: most recent update. most recent patch. most recent sprite pack. most recent modern mode etc) because assuming a new user comes in to install the content they have to scroll very long to get to it at times.
if not maybe a more compact area to also post them

Frogman said if I wanted to bring this up I should post it here. 😅
Changing #is-my-sprite-ready to be more useful by allowing longer conversations on it that don't necessarily need to be diverted back to the threads if the person making the sprite doesn't feel the need. It'd work as sort of a compromise between the old and new systems and would placate everyone. I think this would work, I really do. It's worth a shot after what's been a really difficult time for the server this past month. I just want everyone to be happy again. 😃

i feel like having #is-my-sprite-ready turn into another channel to give feedback on sprites completely defeats the purpose of having 2 separate channels, since theyd end up serving the same purpose. having that channel explicitly be for the discussions that dont belong in #spriting-discussion at least allows that 2nd channel to have a reason to exist. and if you mean longer conversations that arent feedback, i mean, thats already a thing? just earlier brian was asking about the inspo of skel's sprite and katten made a funny drawing, and that kinda casual discussion happened multiple times in the past week, its no biggie

It's been slowed by the human verification process which makes it much harder for spambots to join, however there are two flaws:
• In order to not just kill the server for a few days, we had the bot just auto-verify everyone who was currently in it. This means any lurking spambots who happened to be around but hadn't done anything yet weren't kicked.
• People who click weird links or get their accounts hacked in other ways can become spambots, even after they've already been verified.
So be careful what you do with your account, don't give your details out, etc. Being careful helps more than just you.

Theoretically, the new precautions we've put into place should make the spambot situation much better once all of the existing ones that haven't yet reared their heads are weeded out. 😄

Or just make the mod role pingable, maybe by spriters if not verified users. It's ridiculous that it's not in a server this large- there's only a small handful of mods vs thousands of users, and they can't be on all the time. Users should be able to ping for them if needed rather than having to ping each one individually when shit comes up.
If you're worried about people abusing it, just start kicking and warning those that try like every other server does, and temp ban repeat offenders. I think you'll find even the goofballs of a server don't tend to joke with it often if they know they'll get punished.

The bot with the purple boom box that i think is Called the groove bot or something
The carl bot
The giveaway bot (it let's you do giveaways that whoever wins gets a special role
The marriage bot (it literally can make you a discord family although for the family to work, the people in the family will need to accept their presence)
The mee6 bot to let us know who talks the most in this server
The snipe bot that can let you see the most recent deleted message in a channel
The tacoshack bot
The yagpdb bot (it can make online cards against humanity games which is amazing and can make some game nights)
And that's about it for bots that I think should be in the server
Also with this many bots, I suggest to add a bot channel that will be specifically used for people to use those bots and the bots that are already in the server

It's nothing about spamming it's just that
In a server, that I'm in, we have a lot fun with the bots
nova pasture
keep them in that server then
sharp veldt
Ok
nova pasture
a bot (if possible) that added some kind of voting system on wether or not a sprite gets added to the gallery. I see so many people get one go ahead, and post their mediocre sprites into the gallery, i know im not the best a spriting but its really annoying seeing the same person pump out like 10 meh sprites a day.
voting would be simple, its up for atleast 6 hours and must have a pass ratio of atleast 65%. The person who made the sprite shouldnt be allowed to vote.
i dont know if this is a good idea or even doable. but it feels like so many lazy sprites are getting thrown into the gallery and noone is saying anything about it
feral bluff
That's a little uncalled for wouldn't you say, not every sprite has to be some beautiful art piece with a custom pose that took 20 hours to make
nova pasture
but they also should be something that took 20 minutes.
maybe i am being a bit critical, im not trying to sound like an ass, just trying to come up with someway to monitor what goes into the gallery since ive noticed a lot of lazy stuff going in there, that if the person had waited like an hour or two longer to post, someone would have critiqued it and possibly helped make it better.
strange turret
the standards absolutely are not and should not be that high for art people volunteer for free for a pokemon fangame
we want to let people of all skill levels to be able to contribute and help the game, and if they dont want to spend 16 hours on a sprite, thats ok, i do sprites in 15 minutes all the time 👀 ultimately, a "meh" sprite is better than the autogen and you can take them out of your files if you dont like em 
you can also just give more feedback to the spriters to help them inprove their sprites
nova pasture
i mean with that logic, no one should need approval to post their sprites into the gallery
shy sedge
Just cause something doesn't need to pass a high quality doesn't everything is instantly ready to go right away. Things can be improved and made even better, that's the entire point of feedback in the first place
strange turret
there are some standards, lmao, but in general the quality of the sprites people put up is far beyond the bare minimum we allow
nova pasture
i think it just comes back to me being too critical and a sleep deprived asshole. ill just get rid of the sprites i dont like.
strange turret
go to bed, no need to lose sleep over pixels

If you really don't like a sprite and think it has some glaring issues, you can always @ that person and if they are sensible, will give the sprite another go
formal hazel
Or you can ask the spriter the permission to do the edit by yourself
glass charm
If you really don't like a sprite and think it has some glaring issues, you can ...
It depends on what you ask of them, I think; "there's a white pixel here and a few too many indistinguishable colours" is one thing, but "I dislike this sprite and want you to make a new one" can be really disheartening. 😅
quaint quiver
I'm thinking more like a sprite having the big dither or smth. Obviously if you just don't like a sprite you shouldn't expect the artist to cater to your needs
glass charm
Oh yeah for sure, small stuff's always worth at least asking about. But design choices are ultimately the spriter's choice. 😄

Can we do a poll for each sprite that has alts and then move all the voted sprites into the main folder?
paper tangle
been heavily debated in the past, was decided against mostly bc staff don't want to hurt people's feelings or some shit (and also something about "we should focus on completion" or whatever). At least those were the arguments I mostly remember against it.
Personally I've always been of the opinion that "first come first serve" isn't the best way to go about it but such will be the way. Although I think I also vaguely remember something about Frogman making a choice between alts for the main game download whenever they pop up?
strange turret
just had a discussion with the other sprite managers on this, we agree that swapping out low quality sprites with their better alternatives is generally the way to go (especially for ones that have technical flaws, those are a priority), but sometimes it comes down to personal preference over design, which shouldnt be reason to replace sprites, so we'll probably discuss what gets posted in #sprite-errors-old and decide if we swap the mains and alts on a case by case basis 
nova pasture
request for another tag, "Old Amber: has to be revived at the cinnabar lab"
cobalt tendon
But the Pewter scientist tells you this when you ask her to revive that already
nova pasture
yet like every few days there is something in bug reports/tech support about the game crashing from someone still attempting to do so.
cobalt tendon
There’s always repeated stuff in those channels that have been answered hundreds of times
nova pasture
yea, and theres also tags for stuff like that already
i dont see why you always need to contradict everything i say
cobalt tendon
I don’t even know who you are
cobalt tendon
I was thinking of Thanos, yes
astral osprey
@polar locust can you moderate
summer wraith
. . . that's a pokemon server, hardly any emote will not be one
dark shell
dang 😢 ig that’s a no then
polar locust
. . . that's a pokemon server, hardly any emote will not be one
Yeah, we usually stick to pokemon sprites n' stuff for emotes, so that would peobably be your best bet for a emote addition.
dark shell
So a pokemon got it I’ll make one and send later maybe it will be accepted 😱
polar locust
on it
iron plank
can we replace 
with something nicer and less offensive?
quaint quiver
I think the way people use the emote is the problem moreso than the emote itself
strange turret
can we get this discord server on mobile
polar locust
!emote
untold bayBOT
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!
polar locust
it works
lets go
Hey! From now on, if you want to suggest an emote, please use the command:
!emote
and attach the image you want to be an emote to the message.
(Fusion sprite emotes would be preferred!)
cold lily
!emote (Maybe it could be a good "this" emote?)

Should we have an emote that says “make a thread” maybe?
glass charm
Please elaborate blaq 👀
I don't get what it's for. 😅

I interpreted it more as a no. 😂

For this server equivalent to 🇫. 😄

I'll recolor the tail thingy when I'm at PC

@strange turret
rocky gyro
should I try to add this by my own or sprite managers can't add emotes?
rocky gyro
wait, it's so smol. lemme remove the borders
and I'll check it right away by making a private discord server just for it
here it is 
rocky gyro
thanks!
strange turret
add a new role: spriter (requests open)
which spriters could assign and unassign themselves in #roles (we can set it up to only work for spriters im p sure)
they can be listed above the current spriter list, so users can easily find spriters that they can request sproots from
nimble shadow
Not that I'm actively spriting, but it would be nice to have that role to distinguish between those who actively have time to take on requests and those who don't.
iron plank
or those how dont really sprite anymore. like the retired spriter
paper tangle
!emote Another server I'm in uses a lot as a sort of celebratory/pog emote, and this fusion sprite uses the same pose, so maybe?
untold bayBOT
Please vote here if you'd like to see this ^^ added as an emote!

isnt that just like
cold lily
Looks similar but they don't have the exact same energy.
This one could benefit of a party hat, perhaps?
iron plank

maybe even dont list the other spriters at all? why should it be of interest how many people with the role are online when only a handful is actively spriting and/or giving feedback
strange turret
but our spriter clout! but then again that might incentivize people to nab the request open role, so they get to be at the top of the list
paper tangle
Can we have the "Post it" / "not yet" auto-react in #spriting-discussion too? 
strange turret
I had to wrangle a new bot into the server but also yeeted the keyword crap, now the autoreacts are once again only triggered by images
polar locust
Whats the point of #is-my-sprite-ready now
feral bluff
I kinda had the same question too. Not that it's neccesarily a bad addition it just feels slightly redundant
strange turret
yall are right lmao
spritework-question has never been super useful imo, its only uses are to 1. redirect to a thread and ask for more feedback or 2. ask if a sprites is ready, both of which could be done in spritework itself and then later screnshotted and archived in the thread like reactions if we yeet spritework-questions 🤷♀️
nobody uses spritework questions for questions not specific to 1 sprites or freeform discussions about spriting like it was supposed to be used for so consolidating the 2 spritework channels back into 1 would be a lot more straightforward imo, esp since new peeps are often confused by spritework-questions. i dont think the "is this ready/more feedback plz" type posts would bury the threads too much if we (aka i) clean em up as sprites get posted to the gallery 🤔
feral bluff
I guess that makes sense. Perhaps we should leave this system in for a bit and then ask the spriters whether or not they like the Spritework Questions system or not. It did get voted in after all, so it could be worth it to see what people think nowdays about it
strange turret
ye we could do a vote in announcements (and hipefully not spark a giant debate again )
cold lily
Makes sense to me too. This channel has not really been essential and you can ask for confirmation directly from the threads.
echo schooner
It still helps to get some more fresh new eyes on a sprite tho. theres a bunch of threads id never look into if people didnt ask for help in spritework-questions 👀
cobalt tendon
I like to make sure more people can see it besides the 1 or 2 people in the thread before posting, as well as asking for more opinions like Bara said
strange turret
wouldnt being able to bump your threads in spritework itself do the same thing? 🤔
cobalt tendon
Do you mean being allowed to just use spritework for what spritework questions is used for?
echo schooner
i think having both in 1 channel would just clutter. besides I dont see the issue with the questions channel not being that incredibly active besides asking if a sprite is done or if anyone else has opinions on it. It does its job and keeps the spritework channel more orderly
cobalt tendon
polar locust
dang i missed that, ill add it when i can
