Discord #suggestions board.
I believe there should be a proper #suggestions board.
Maybe after reading this you'll agree.
Have you ever had a small, quick suggestion you want to quickly throw out to known members of the community and quickly discuss?
Note: It wouldn't replace this suggestions board, it'd be an alternative for quick insight onto an idea to help ENHANCE your post here, before even making it. A lot of ideas get shot down because the original post didn't address some existing cons or arguments, which people bring up in the replies.
» Pros «
* Just like there are #market, #off-topic, #art, et cetera, there should be #suggestions for the same reason; quick talk about stuff.
* Would allow for more discussion on a topic and immediate addressing of counter arguments.
* Can get quick insight on pros/cons/arguments to the idea before suggesting it to the forums, that way you could enhance your post by addressing those pros/cons/arguments in it.
» Cons «
* Can't think of any. See "Arguments And My Counters".
» Arguments And My Counters «
Argument:
"We have a forum board dedicated to Suggestions, why have on on Discord?" - Unicorn
Counter:
We also have a forum board for Marketing, Art, Replays, Off-Topic, and mods, yet we have those in Discord too.
Argument:
"Why do you need fast paced discussion on suggestions?" - Unicorn
Counter:
Because some people prefer it that way. If I have a discussion I want to engage multiple people with and have talked about BEFORE I go to the forums, I'd rather post it in the Discord where more people are going to respond to it, and faster, and get some general ideas on why people would think it would work and why it wouldn't work. This ultimately would enhance the post I'd make on the forums by a lot, because I'd already have some insight on pros/cons to the idea I could address in the post. Kinda like this one.

It's a few clicks, some keyboard clacks, and a button stopping you guys from adding a #suggestions board which could enhance a lot of future posts, hopefully this doesn't go unnoticed!
I think this is a good idea, but suggestion boards might get spammed and crowded with silly, dumb ideas that can overshadow the good ideas. Unless you can think of a way to control that, I don't believe this will go that far. Just my fair and honest opinion.
My name is bobby. I am a bobb. One day I woke up, and I decided to be a jilll. It didn't go well. I have since then remained a Bobb.

Great insight, didn't think of mentioning this in the original post, but if i raised this idea in #suggestions on discord and you said it, i would've.
It could be regulated by rules, like every other board, except more strictly I suppose is the only way to properly moderate it
no thanks
all discord channels have pretty laidback moderation. moderating a discord channel where you are supposed to have actual discussion on suggestion topics, in a strict way, will be an unnecessary pain in the ass for the moderators. plus, since discord is too dynamic and fast-paced, it'll be nearly impossible to discuss one idea at a time. imagine multiple people suggesting different things at once and how big of a shitfest the discussion would be... not to mention off-topic, redundant, irrelevant, useless messages and whatnot
you have a structured board just for this. suggestion discussion isn't quick, like offering on a head texture. just look at any other thread around here, it requires considerably lengthy discussion.

That was really bad sorry.
Someone tell me why this guy is highly respected by some people ???

that last bit is completely subjective.
there is nowhere near enough discussion for it to be "unmanagable". it'd be as simple as "hey don't talk about this in suggestions, bring it to off-topic" like they ALREADY DO for #toribash and #off-topic.
all you've said is issues that already lie in ALL boards, and your "it's not supposed to be fast paced" is completely subjective. if that's how YOU FEEL, then make a forums post. otherwise, if you're like me, throw it in #suggestions.
