Noticed I've put this in the wrong place, sorry!
Hi all,
0.4 is around the corner and the community is about to experience it's biggest and best update yet. I've read another post regarding the position on an official discord and I agree firmly with the teams position, What I'm interested in is the team position on an unofficial discord. I'm going to spitball some points and then hopefully get an answer overall. This is assuming they're not outright undesirable to the staff team in which case fair enough.
the discord would have to clearly state that it's unofficial in nature.
the discord would state no affiliation with G17 Media.
the discord would have an explicit set of rules mirroring the professionalism on the forums.
the discord will not be advertised on the forums unless via profile or signature, and within reason.
I ask as given the right amount of patience, commitment and some common sense with regards to the rules, an unofficial discord would thrive, allowing people to come together with members of the community. And although direct liaison with the team is impractical and time consuming, a member of staff would be more than welcome to be present in order to ensure the above criterion is met.
To summarise, if a staff member can provide an answer to the above four points that's all i intend to get from this thread and it can be closed, archived or taken round the back of the shed and shot. If you want to give a blessing to go ahead and try in the meantime, much obliged!
Thanks.
