Separate room for discussions?
Hey, I have participated in MANY guided discussions, and I truly love them. I have gone to both L only ones, and ones in the member rooms. I was wondering if we might have a special room opened for discussions. Yesterday, I attended the Depression support chat as a member. Several folks in the chat weren't really interested in participating, and that disrupted things a fair bit. Also, there was some spamming, another disruption.
I have a couple ideas, aside from just a dedicated room. One, we could make them member only. We do tell people that members get more help, but aside from being able to save 1:1's, I am not sure what other benefits of a helping nature are available. The guided discussions could be a member benefit. It would also help to keep spammers and bots out. This would alsohopefully ensure that everyone in the discussion is there to participate. Another idea- sometimes the discussions (espthe L ones) get bogged down with all the greetings, and questions about the topic. Could the dedicated room open with a pop up welcoming them to the guided discussion, informing them of the topic, and encouraging them to jump in and participate?
Thanks for reading. :-)
I'm going through some old suggestions and love finding ones that we have actually acted on! :)
