#Some sort of art archive channel

So, I was thinking about the ascii art and fanart channel, and had an idea. I would like to have an archive channel of sorts for art. My suggestion for how to implement this would be to have @kind sedge post the art things in there that have at least 10 praise reactions. (I could adjust the number as the community sees fit). So this way, people could browse just purely the art projects, without discussions getting in the way. The channel would be restricted so that only the mods/admins and the bot could post in there, of course.

You can do that, you would just need a channel for it

#

I have the starboard enabled on my server

toxic pawn
#

The point here is to have someone make said channel

#

I can do the rest on my own

#

And you could even have it only check certain channels, like only putting messages from #asciiart-and-fanart and #🎨art-jam🌑🐍 in the starboard

#

And make it not count the praise from the poster of the message

toxic pawn
#

yeah, that sounds good

#

What about situations like code block art? I guess if it's only grabbing from those channels and only grabbing reacted images, it wouldn't be a problem

toxic pawn
#

yeah

#

I uhh am not actually sure how to, if it's even possible, only use posts that have images anyway

soft dune
#

Isn't it able to check the contents of the message? Like discords search function of has: image

toxic pawn
#

hmm

#

gonna double check le thing
gah, this slowmode SAD

I wish it was 0 entity_hamis

#

but 5 would still be better
at least it's not 15 anymore

granite valve
#

cause I ain't writing a whole essay so I don't get affected by slowmode

toxic pawn
#

and now that you're here
what do you think of my idea teehee

past flicker
#

i like this

toxic pawn
#

unfortunately, this won't like apply retroactively

#

so I would have to either
get a previous post down below however many praises, then bring it back up in order to post it

#

or have one of the mods handle cool art stuff that was posted prior to this

I'm not a fan of the suggestion because I don't like adding more channels

#

in any case, I lowered the slow-mode to 5s

#

We already have a million channels, which makes the server hard to navigate and difficult to learn for new people

deft arrow
#

More channels isn't always a bad thing, and its not meant for people to talk in

#

I like the idea because i want to be able to see everyone’s creations without them getting bogged down by other convos

although
I feel like
this channel could just be a subset of the ascii art channel
which is an optional part of the on boarding
if the art archive was just put together with the ascii art and fanart, it wouldn't be that confusing
because then, only people who are already interested in art will have the channel there
and yeah, like void said, it's a "look but no touch" channel, they can't talk in it

#

the onboarding, I feel like, is very helpful for clearing up confusion

#

it's not just bombarding new people with all the channels all at once, they get to decide themselve

deft arrow
#

#asciiart-and-fanart and #🎨art-jam🌑🐍 would also be the only channels it would get messages from

Hmm
So
I suppose if a whole channel isn't made, a locked thread could be created and a moderator could manually post the images
That way. If it’s a thread, it wouldn't be as confusing to new people because they would have to find thread in the threads list, then follow it in order to be able to see it
But then, I think that way might make it too hard for people to find it, and not many people will get to enjoy the art stuff

#

I suppose maybe someone could advertise the thread thonking

velvet oracle
#

Did you realize

toxic pawn
#

yes
but that's different

#

so you didn't realize smh

#

it's still nice though

velvet oracle
#

ae

latent crystal
#

Also was made after the suggestion was

velvet oracle
#

so wut

pine escarp
# velvet oracle so wut

so there was no point in asking if he realized that there was already a channel, as it was made after he made the suggestion.

velvet oracle
#

I meant to say that it was made by now, and that the suggestion was kinda made.

Also its a thread, not a channel
