Improving help channels #95

Closed jacobmonck closed 3 years ago

jacobmonck commented 3 years ago

Hey,

I was recently thinking about a smarter way the the help channels could be done. I was thinking that there could be one more channel category that could be called "Ready For Help". How this would work, I was thinking as a help channel is opened and if the user asks a question the channel would go into the "Ready For Help" until its receives a response from a different user.

Hello @Slushs, thanks for your suggestion! Transferring this to the meta repo as it will need to be more discussed.

This was talked about a bit in #community-meta, and this is what I came up with

A channel somewhere which lists all of the active help channels, and as an added bonus, who claimed them. By design, each newly claimed channel would be a new message, with a pinned message as a master list. It would also mention if they had been responded to As they get answered, they would be deleted and removed from the list.
