Proposal: Rules/Buffer Channel #135

Closed JakenVeina closed 1 year ago

JakenVeina commented 6 years ago

I know this has been brought up before, but it came up again today in the aftermath of RaidVite. And datadata, at least, expressed that he previously thought the suggestion was to require people to formally apply to join the server, and get approval.

The actual suggestion is just to limit new users in the guild to only seeing the #rules channel, until they are granted a "User" role by MODiX, which is triggered by one of the following:

  1. After 60 seconds (or whatever) have passed
  2. When the user enters an "!accept" command, or similar, to confirm their acceptance of the rules.

This would have the following benefts:

  1. Allow MODiX to have a "!raidmode" command that simply stops it from handing out the "User" role until Staff decides the raid has cooled off.
  2. Actually maybe force some users to read the rules, before posting.
  3. Help prevent bots coming in and scraping data. Apparently, the Discord API "Get Users within a Guild" query might not limit based on what channels the caller can see?

I myself support this idea quite a lot. Kameko originally brought it up today, and everyone in channel seemed to like it.

Made obsolete by features added to Discord since the issue was written (welcome screen and raid detection).

Suggestion action:**** Close issue.
