MODERATORS
To prevent flooding the community with empty match threads, the bot for !football@sopuli.xyz only creates threads for matches if someone @‘s the bot to request it directly — maybe that would work?
I'm just curious: is there a reason we don't want the empty threads? And I get it, but I feel like the threads themselves would be to drive the engagement. Like, I'm probably not gonna @ the bot, I'm a simple man, but if I pop in here and there's a thread for the Rongos, I'll certainly pop in and share my thoughts.
I don't really get it either, but lots of people say it discourages them when they go to a community and see a lot of threads with no comments, especially if the threads are from a bot poster.
Interesting, Ill see if I can do this
