Discord channel rules #12

We get a lot of off-topic talks in Discord channels.

With 300 users, and many end-users (instead of developers) joining we are slowly running into trouble keeping discussions organized.

I think we should add pinned messages to every channel which explain the rules.
Each channel description could just say "Read Pinned messages before posting!"

In particular:

  • We currently have XQEMU discussions on all channels which are not clearly marked as being XQEMU (contextless questions like: "Did you try game XYZ?").
  • #user-support is often used to share experiences, not to request support. So when a user actually needs help we might miss it because we are desensitized. This actually happened on Citra Discord in the past and lead to users leaving without response after half an hour, later bad-mouthing Citra on 4chan etc. Ideally we should move user-support to project specific forums.
  • Research is being discussed in emulation channels.
  • nxdk development is included in #development despite having its own channel.

Current state/current channels:

  • welcome
  • off-topic
  • research
  • hw-development
  • sw-development
  • xbox-linux
  • reactor
  • nxdk

I think thats working great at the moment and I have no complaints. Maybe we can close this issue?
