What is the stackie identity to you!​

  • What makes a Stackie different from other developers out there.​

Whoami??

And stackup can charge a percentage of such fee paid by buyers of such services to air more campaign... It's going to be a win win situation - Zionnaire

How to better facilitate Question asking?

We notice how people are beginning to ask question not in the best way possible, how do you think as a community we can make the help seeking process better?

Cos I don't want ppl to be rude and for our Stackies to feel like oh I'm obligated to help

  • make the bot put the messages on how to ask good questions - Nid!
  • Gohar's Guide - one'll have to mention the quest, campaign and then the problem, and the bot will create a threat for it Hmm, there was this server I was in. where we used to have a channel "Find Study Partner" we just put our request there and then the bot makes a thread for us and the thread closes after some time of inactivity - AstroDude

This is the Lofi-Radio server and, see how there are options of what problem one have a combination of something like this and getting a thread related to the doubt/problem would be great ig and other stackies can help/answer the problem in that thread which can be closed after sometime of inactivity one can select an option and proceed like this.
