has been attempted multiple times before, all that's happened is people kept finding weird ways to bypass the slowmode such as editing their messages rather than sending new ones

#

also, how exactly would threads in a channel work any better than a forum, it's basically the same thing

If the idea I recommended isn't available, so be it,but this forum method isn't cutting 9t

cyan pumice
#

i know, but i think forums is the best way to go

#

if anything we could develop some bot to make it work better

#

just remove the normal help channels

#1020374354867007528 has worked immensely better and more organized than the original help channels ever did, it’s basically forced thread creation but made to be more clear.

#

I don’t see how this is a good idea at all..

crude dagger
#

Look at the activity of it

#

People just use the backup because it functions the same as the old ones did

#

Currently you'll get like 10 requests an hour and 1 maybe 2 will be resolved

#

It's less engaging

#

And pro scripting forum is like a fire station baby

north briar
#

You’re using activity as an argument? The old help channels had the same if not more activity of mostly people asking and repeating themselves constantly. Issues didn’t get resolved sooner than it does now and I don’t think the forum channels are the reason people don’t engage. It’s the stupid questions that discourage people from answering, and you don’t get a lot out of helping if they just want to be spoonfed.

#

I don’t agree at all with you.

Meex 2 vs Meexmas..

#

Scripters

#

Past an intermediate level the pollution of the old scripting help channel made it hard to get proper help, which is why we had a separate "pro" channel

#

The problem with this model is there is no pro channel, there is pro studio help, which is extremely inactive

north briar
#

pro studio help is the pro channel.. it’s not any different from the old pro channel except it using forum channels

the pro channels were extremely active and the current pro scripting help is posting memes, discussing scripting and asking if someone has a function for something (not something that should’ve been asked in pro scripting help either)

north briar
#

the old pro scripting help was basically a hangout for scripter 2+

@crude dagger agree with our big boss Meex, I've already tried to change his mind, but it's impossible

north briar
#

No one has to agree with me on anything

#

This just doesn’t solve the clutter and makes help channels less friendly to members

#

less organized

north briar
#

the high amount of posts won’t change based on the method of posting used

crude dagger
#

Little does he know I always change meexs mind..

#

the only improvements i can come up with is stronger moderation, a stack overflow method of closing duplicates, enabling members to close their own posts, require more information when posting, award people that help with achievements

north briar
#

i can understand you disliking the new pro help, the normal help however is way better

#

the old pro help was more of a hangout

#

like pro scripting now is

#

and can still be used for

crude dagger
#

Pro scripting help could make a return as a more privated channel

#

Or

crude dagger
#

Pro scripting could be used also for help.

north briar
#

use pro scripting if you want to hangout

north briar
#

so again nothing different

crude dagger
#

People are against it

north briar

well the people have chosen then
