Implemented Staff Member Languages on Discord

[_The13thDoctor_]

Hey guys, I had two small suggestions to make it easier for players to figure out staff languages on discord.

Idea 1) Give roles to each staff member (Mods and helpers) so people can see what languages they speak, I attached an image of what it could look like, for example, that grey role is what Spanish mods can have. This would include there flag at the beginning of the role name or end depending on what's easiest. I feel like this would help users go to the right staff member for help.

Idea 2) Copy // Paste StorySays list of staff languages and pin it to staff-help so users can also find the right staff member to get help from.

These ideas are small and might not affect most of you, but could be very important to other users.

Yes, and I would say make these roles ping-able so that people can just ping a member who speaks their language instead of needing to look through the online staff

 

[Meiske]

I think this would help a lot! :D

I like this idea, for now only Translators have the languages as our job directly involves languages but I think it could be really useful to have this implemented for other ranks such as Helpers and Moderators. About making them ping-able I disagree as many staff members speak another language (ex: Dutch) so tagging the language would ping a lot of staff members at the same time when it's not really needed.

That's the suggestion. :P

That's not part of the suggestion. :P

Yep, That would be great

Wow. Why did I never thought about this? I would love to see this implemented. Who doesn't want to get support in their first language?

Instead of having the language they speak written, imo it’d be better to have the flag associated with the language, like: , as some people speak 2 languages (other than English) and can get pretty long (eg, @Spoon would have Moderator, Spanish/Español, Catalonian/Catala)

I’ve just woke up so hope this makes sense

No, that could confuse people, believe it or not, some people wouldn't know there own flag or mix it up due to some flag's being similar, to make it simple and easy as possible, it should be written. Also, role length wouldn't be that long or much of an issue.

Not each countries’ flag, that would be total madness and could confuse people, as you said. I mean something like this:

But without words and mexican and brazilian

A compromise could be the flag is with the words in the role?

 

[Aspect_Unity]

i like this idea that's a +1 from me :p

 

[Vict0r]

+1 from me. That sounds good and I think it will help much.

 

[Dutchyyy]

I really like this suggestion. Would be very help- &useful. Definitely a yes from me!

 

[_The13thDoctor_]

Bump

 

[Sl0wMo7ion]

Yes, this will be very helpful for people who are searching for a staff member with specific language. For now only the translators have language roles.

Hi, thanks for suggesting! This has been implemented - all our moderators speak English, and have a tag if they speak other languages.

Spoiler: Example:

@HackersDontWin hi

- Locked.
