Feedback from Beef Broccoli#5067 #18

Closed DiscordLinuxBot closed 4 years ago

DiscordLinuxBot commented 4 years ago

From Beef Broccoli avatar: 'Can there be a rule added to not send unsolicited DMs to users asking for help. Ask in a support channel'

5HT2 commented 4 years ago

Seconded.

junetried commented 4 years ago

I feel like that could fall under spam. Adding to the rules is a bit tricky because people like to not read when it gets longer.

Scattered-Faith commented 4 years ago

I feel like it'd fall under spam yeah. I agree with not having rules be too long, close?

5HT2 commented 4 years ago

I'd prefer it be clear so people don't complain "bUt it's nOt in the RulEs"

Scattered-Faith commented 4 years ago

We have a rule for that, it's called "Listen to the staff and obey them."

junetried commented 4 years ago

If I send you an unsolicited email it's probably spam, so I think it's reasonable to say unsolicited DMs are probably spam.

kmmiles commented 4 years ago

Looking at existing rules, it seems to fall more squarely on "Use the channels as intended".

The issue I have is not spam per se, it's people DM'ing me "Hey can you help me do x?".

They do this presumably because they see me helping someone else in the support channel, and want to side-step the process of asking their question in the proper channel.

Scattered-Faith commented 4 years ago

Huh, good point. The rules may not change immediately because it's kinda annoying to do them from Blarg, and Syretia is very busy. But I'm on board with this now.

5HT2 commented 4 years ago

I'll count this as a violation of rule 7 (Use the channels as intended) then.

Not necessary. Spam covers this. Less complicated rules are better.
