Set up a Check For Pins month, Replace Loading Messages with "CHECK THE PINS" PSA
There are many gaming communities on Discord, and a growing number of players look to the platform as a nexus of information for their favorite games. The brave moderators of these community servers are vigilant in providing up-to-date information to these newcomers, so they might find the answers they're looking for and grow stronger. Scores of valuable resources are pinned across innumerable channels, yet time and time again new players log in, join a Discord and ask one of the very frequently asked questions that are answered in the pins.
Discord is often panned for its cutesy loading messages; today I post here with a proposal. Take a month, like this coming May, and replace all the silly loading text with helpful instructions like "Check the pins for answers to your questions", and replace the spinning Wumpus head with a picture of what the pins icon looks like. Often hidden away in the top right corner, the lonely Pin button sits ignored as players rush straight past the treasured knowledge they seek to post the thousandth incarnation of any given question into the void.
It is a small change, and it could be a temporary change, but thousands and thousands of gaming community organizers would be very grateful for the small effort of highlighting the humble but mighty feature of the Pinned Posts Button. Teach people it is there in the one way they can't ignore, and help guide them to that which they seek.
Thank you for your time, have a lovely day.
