- problem
- chats that aren't #general have a lot of activity that easily goes unseen due to how discord works
- goal
- draw people to channels with lots of activity to take a look
- benefits
- let people know where activity is happening, making it so that chat isn't falling in the cracks
- proposed solution part 1
- add a star to the front of a channel name when it has X messages in Y minutes. This is removed after Z minutes of the channel not having X messages in Y minutes
- For example, 5 messages in 3 minutes. Removed after 15 minutes.
- proposed solution part 2
- send a #link in general, drawing attention to that channel
- this could quickly get annoying
- proposed execution
- hosted on amazon aws
- only responds to admin users
- .star command: <.star 5, 3, 15> for example
- used by itself, disables if enabled
- used by itself, enables with last used values
- .nostar: add channels to exclude from .star, ex .nostar <bot>
- used by itself, it lists the channels currently on the no star list
- .starlink: running list of channels to link in general when star is triggered
- used by itself, lists the channels to link
