The people who answer frequently are really helpful but sometimes I feel like they're always on the verge of popping a vein when someone doesn't check the pins.

I don't want them to pop a vein.

@limpid patrol what says you?

Thanks for the concern, but I really feel like if we do a thing, it will not be effective for everyone. Not everyone reads carefully before asking questions and we've learned to take that into account. Thank goodness for the CheckThePins emote, but trust us, we do try our hardest to be helpful to others.

but check the pins can help you out

#

like having it in the title means the one asking can have a more substantial question

#

at least that's what i think will happen

#

It would have to go to the mods for sure, but what if for example, the title gets cut off?

warm hedge
#

then #poma-questions (Check the Pins) or put it in the description just on the off chance that someone might see it before asking

Do you mean the title as in "poma-questions-check-pins"?

warm hedge
#

maybe idk or check-pins-first

fossil parrot
#

Seems a bit... off. There are pins in every channel in help section, and checking them should be a habit

#

Most people wouldn't check pins even if such title change was made

warm hedge
#

so what i'm hearing is some people would

fossil parrot
#

Some would, but is it worth changing the title like this?
Description seems more plausible though.

warm hedge
#

ok whatever you think can help

#

i mean... unless you actually enjoy reprimanding people. to each their own. you do you.

most people dont bother to ever check pins and have to get redirected. its partially because on mobile pins are annoying to access but i also feel like people in general just overlook this feature

#

its also not really reprimanding it just gets frustrating having to give the same answer to the same question 100 times

#

its actually surprising how many people have asked about the ticket scout and disregard the person who also got an answer for the same question

#

imo it wont really end up changing much but it cant hurt to try as you’ve said

warm hedge
#

i'm just thinking "how would i know to check the pins if i don't know that i should check the pins"? not everyone is discord savvy nor used to that. maybe in other discords the culture is different idk

#

i mean on desktop the pins are pretty easily accessible. if ur on mobile its a little more understandable because its more out of the way

#

You have to swipe left to get there

serene mortar
#

yeah which isnt exactly intuitive

warm hedge
#

ok idk lol i just thought it would help and reduce work but i'm not gonna die on this hill

We appreciate it, but this is the burden we bear
