Auto reply and tag fusing !code and !paste #115

Closed aphkyle closed 1 year ago

aphkyle commented 3 years ago

In some cases, newcomers are confused with how to paste/format code and ask Hey how do I send code in this server? in python-general, members need to type two commands to show, which is !paste and !code because they do not know which kind of code is the newcomer asking. However, there's slowmode in python-general so if members did the command !paste first and the newcomer is sending short code then he/she will use the wrong tool. (eh sorry bad english)

NIRDERIi commented 3 years ago

I understand what you are saying, the slowmode is not really long, but, I think it would be better to add some more context to paste and code commands. Such as for code command: "if the code seems to be long, please consider using our pastebin service, run !paste in #bot-commands for more info"

This is what the tag could look like:

Discord_kWXmJXCCbj

The current two tags are currently quite small, and very often make sense to be sent together, so I do quite like this idea.

If we decided to do this I think it would make more sense to replace the other two tags with this tag, rather than adding this as a third tag.

Xithrius commented 2 years ago

I like this idea as well. Will both tags as commands be pointing to this one embed?

wookie184 commented 2 years ago

With https://github.com/python-discord/bot/pull/1663 adding tag metadata, at some point we could probably allow tag aliases, but for now I think the only way of having two names point to the same tag is just duplicating the contents.

That's not ideal, but it would probably be confusing to remove one of the names.

@Kronifer @aphkyle Hello, would either of you still have an interest in this task?

Kronifer commented 1 year ago

I'm a little busy at the moment, but I could probably find time to get it done @minalike

wookie184 commented 1 year ago

I'd consider this solved by https://github.com/python-discord/bot/pull/2417
