Time Zone Profiles (TZP)
I have seen posts on here for Time Zone Profiles (TZP) but I don't think they have a lot of merit or have any convincing argument to why they should be implemented. So here I just want to give my brief summary on why I think it wouldn't be too bad at all while addressing some complaint's I've seen on the other posts relating to this.
Personal Opinion: The main reason why I think that this would be a decent feature is that the majority of people discord users usually talk to on discord, are either across the country or the world, and this can be quite confusing when trying to set up times and events for small or large discord servers. People being able to establish a TZP would be an excellent way in order to help fix this problem.
Ways to incorporate TZP: TZP's can be incorporated in a multitude of ways, they can be used for personal reasons perhaps on your profile or they can be used for larger scale reasons such as setting a global TZP for a discord server. Being able to have a TZP for personal use can be easy to incorporate into the 2021 discord profiles, being able to fit between the icon and the badges (badges being like the nitro badge and the hype squad brilliance badge). As for servers you can incorporate it by either hovering over the server Icon and it displaying the time the server runs off of (aka whichever time the owner wants to set it, which could be easily set with choosing their state/ or location to set it by choosing it from a dropdown tab) or having it somewhere on the top of the screen so it's easily accessible. Another neat way you could even potentially incorporate it into servers is having them be able to set a TZP for each text channel, giving owners more fluidity in how they want to broadcast or create channels based off specific times.
Addressing the Cons: I know the main issue for this would be in terms of security, being able to what seems like openly give your location away can be a bit scary. That's why discord should add a couple options when implementing this feature, such as being able to toggle it as public, only being able to allow specific friends to see it, or just being able to have it toggled off in general. The default option of course, being toggled off.
Minor Ideas regarding TZP's: being able to @ specific time zones for certain events or having a way to automatically translate times from other time zones that are talked about into the chat into your time zone. Kind of how :) get's converted into the emoji if not toggled off. The same could work with time zones but it's specific to your own discord client.
I hope you all enjoyed my perspective on this and hopefully some of you guys can understand and agree where i'm coming from when I make this post :).
anyways take care all!
