As part of this Policy Overhaul process, a major issue with staffcord that has come to our attention is the state of staff-discussion. To be blunt, this channel has become a dense monolith and nearly impossible to keep up with without great expense of time and energy on the part of an individual staff member. Additionally, topics blend into one another and the most random of discussion ends up there to exacerbate the problem. As such, the following proposal is being made:
- #staff-discussion is set to a highly-throttled slow mode. The only posts allowed in the channel are the start of new threads.
- Allother discussions must be inside a thread, even simple affirmatives (e.g. “sure”, “go ahead”). This way the channel is an easy-to-navigate hub of discussion topics, rather than a stream of continuous thought. Discussion is thus compartmentalized into individual threads allowing for easy separation of topic, as well as staff to sort ongoing discussion by relevance.
