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.

I just want to make shitty puns.

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

lol

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

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

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

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

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

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

@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)

I'm aware that mee6 has a slowmode

I'm familiar with it

@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

it will also help if and when a raid occurs

you just make a role for the bot

Yeah, most Discord bots have anti-raid utilities

its not too hard

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

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

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

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

How bout a channel for that

this is the newsroom channel

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

Oh so shitposting is the general?

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

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

mountain right in the middle of the city

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

dji drones are the worst

all of my batteries failed

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.

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

Has nothing to do with Montreal though

oof

I don't understand Sessions, obsession with pot

he said it had *basically* the same risk as heroin, which is just objectively false

Like on the freeway near me there are ads for edible products already for sale, apps that help you find pot stores and all of that; what legally is going to happen to those people if the feds crack down? Does creating an ad for pot products and posting it on a bilboard have a different sentance or punishment then being caught selling it?
