i.e. the ais are designed to cater for maximum engagement rather than maximum objectivity and truth.

2018-01-06 17:57:34 UTC  

which can lead to the exact opposite of this

2018-01-06 18:23:57 UTC  

Lol, well, Tim has done a really good job at explaining issues with some laws. I am sure hed have little issue with writing up rules for a small discord server.

2018-01-06 18:24:02 UTC  

Well, small as of now

2018-01-06 18:26:42 UTC  

yeah, but as with all things, its better to do some forward planning with some kind of vision, because that increases the likelihood of you achieving that vision, so I'm just asking the mods to think about what they want to see on this server and how they are going to achieve that.

2018-01-06 18:27:12 UTC  

I just want to make shitty puns.

2018-01-06 18:27:30 UTC  

Like when the inevitable chan raid happens, I want to yell out pools closed.

2018-01-06 18:27:55 UTC  

lol

2018-01-06 18:28:56 UTC  

yeah but you aren't a mod so your goal may be different to the mods 😃

2018-01-06 18:29:24 UTC  

Every time I'm granted power on a forum/channel/whatever, the first thing I do is I ban myself

2018-01-06 18:29:34 UTC  

Because if I've got the power to ban people, why not start with the worst offender?

2018-01-06 18:30:02 UTC  

Im only an admin on one server, really small one with double digits (like 50). But I do fuck all there.

2018-01-06 18:31:04 UTC  

Back when I was in scanlation (on IRC) I was an operator on several channels and I was admin on one, but that was mostly because the group's leader let their channel lapse and I reclaimed it for them

2018-01-06 18:31:18 UTC  

I think the biggest channel I was in back then was 75 people

2018-01-06 18:36:57 UTC  

@Bruce @Timcast another suggestion: set up a moderation bot to help deal with minor moderation issues that occur often (role management is generally a good thing for bots)

2018-01-06 18:37:21 UTC  

I'm aware that mee6 has a slowmode

2018-01-06 18:37:28 UTC  

I'm familiar with it

2018-01-06 18:37:33 UTC  

@WOODY Except for the part where you have to figure out what permissions to give the bot so that it can do everything for you

2018-01-06 18:37:34 UTC  

it will also help if and when a raid occurs

2018-01-06 18:37:49 UTC  

you just make a role for the bot

2018-01-06 18:37:53 UTC  

Yeah, most Discord bots have anti-raid utilities

2018-01-06 18:37:56 UTC  

its not too hard

2018-01-06 18:38:54 UTC  

The bot I use didn't have good documentation around what permissions it needed, so it took me a few days to get everything right

2018-01-06 18:39:45 UTC  

use a different bot then? theres plenty of bots around for all sorts of things.

2018-01-06 18:40:10 UTC  

I got one bot set up right. Why would I switch to another bot and go through another potential headache?

2018-01-06 18:40:32 UTC  

Emily and I are going to head to Montreal ina few days and then Detroit if you have any story suggestions

2018-01-06 18:42:00 UTC  

How bout a channel for that

2018-01-06 18:42:10 UTC  

this is the newsroom channel

2018-01-06 18:42:32 UTC  

Maybe you should make another text channel for general discussion so that the distinction is more apparent

2018-01-06 18:42:38 UTC  

Oh so shitposting is the general?

2018-01-06 18:42:54 UTC  

@Kori Tainaka I think <#398973785426100234> is for shitposting

2018-01-06 18:42:58 UTC  

If you could shoot some drone Footage off Mont Royal that would be a great scenery for a video or an interview spot @Timcast

2018-01-06 18:43:36 UTC  

mountain right in the middle of the city

2018-01-06 18:44:27 UTC  

@Timcast I would be grateful if you would read my suggestions further up, some of them could be quite helpful.

2018-01-06 18:45:25 UTC  

2018-01-06 18:45:32 UTC  

dji drones are the worst

2018-01-06 18:45:37 UTC  

all of my batteries failed

2018-01-06 18:46:17 UTC

I was talking about this with another member of the discord yesterday on voice chat but something to look into maybe in the future is what's going on with California and pot. And I don't mean like the debate, I mean how right now a lot of start-up bussinesses have just dumped a TON of money into pot production and might have to find a way to pull out all their resources really quick.

2018-01-06 18:46:50 UTC  

Yeah pot is a hot debate right now if you haven't done it already

2018-01-06 18:47:05 UTC  

Has nothing to do with Montreal though
