But oh! the irony... jecisc-Yesterday at 8:16 PM Can you delete this level thing with the bot please?(edited) Mee6BOT-Yesterday at 8:16 PM GG @jecisc, you just advanced to level 3 ! btw, where is the bot hosted? > #help is not necessary too, Discord has a search capability which could be > potentially used from inside a Pharo image but again the question is who is > going to do this Its not just about searchability. Its a social barrier thing. If the regulars are rolling through some deep discussion, a newcomer may hesitate to jump in with a side topic. If you want to condense channels, then probably the #mooc and #help could be rolled into one. cheers -ben > > #mooc , I am not against this idea but again we had a student yesterday > asking for help that is following Mooc , I had no problem providing it and > he had not issues with the process of getting his question aswered in > #general channel.
