#obviously inefficient poorly-designed and difficult to actually follow even when people are trying to act in good faith

discord servers love having a thousand channels both vague enough to be incredibly confusing in what you’re allowed to post where and hyper-specific enough that you’ll get yelled at for posting the “wrong” thing in place where any reasonable person would think it belongs

#i do not understand why so many servers are so rigidly structured. this is needlessly difficult to moderate #and if the amount of people “accidentally” posting the same similar kind of wrong stuff in specific channels is any indication #is clearly confusing and ill-designed for any regular members. #i wish i could reorganize so many servers y’all NEED to cut down on and combine at least half the channels #rewrite the channel description and also my god you do not need twenty pages of rules #nobody i mean Nobody is reading all that and that is 100% why people are consistently baffled and confused when you tell them they’re #violating a much more niche rule. because nobody is remembering every single facet of that wall of text #brother i don’t think YOU are either. #this bugs me so much. i’m not a neurotic control freak (<— liar) i’m just a regular guy who knows that this is #obviously inefficient poorly-designed and difficult to actually follow even when people are trying to act in good faith #and abide by the server rules and structure. this is to say nothing of anyone that wants to be malicious about it #because it being this confusing and ill-constructed means there’s a lot of opportunity for abuse and things to fly under mods’ radars #like you have to have a huge staff to be able to moderate all these channels and remember actually harmful rule violations #it’s completely infeasible unless you have a Massive admin structure and lots of mods with lots of time and care #rant over i am simply annoyed at any server i enter that’s like this and is only a few hundred members large at most.
