Sim notifications on discord
#1

I often see people asking if new games have been simmed yet, and personally, I hit F5 regularly while waiting for the next sim.

Wouldn't it be great if you could get notified after a sim just happened?

I suggest a simple solution:

1. Create a league-wide discord server
2. Create a channel for each sim type (SHL, SMJHL, IIHF, WJC)
3. Give permission to send messages to simmers only so that people don't spam the server
4. After a new sim the simmer posts "@everyone link_to_schedule" or something like that. Bonus: simmers could also post announcements regarding delays and stuff.

This way everyone would get notified, and people could mute channels they don't want to receive notifications from.

I understand that simmers already do a lot but I feel like it wouldn't be too difficult to send one discord message daily, and this would improve the user experience overall.

Obviously this is worth doing only if enough people are interested. What do you think?

We have #1 and #2 already done.

But God, then I'd have to post in the SHL discord. I'm scared.

I didn't know there was an SHL discord already
But it'd be a different server and you'd be the only one with permission to post in it  Cheers (well, and other simmers)

You can set that up with roles and channels in the existing one.

I've had this in other leagues and I found it honestly infuriating to have the notifications screaming at me. I'd prefer this not be a thing, but I'd understand if tehre are some people who haven't experienced such a thing before who would want this.

I agree with HHH to be honest, it should be an optional thing - maybe a role to opt out of the alerts if you so choose?

I mean, it's only 1-2 notifications per day. But I understand and for you nothing would change because you can either mute the channels or not join the server altogether.

You know you can turn off @everyone notifications on discord right? I hate that people use this excuse all the time on every server when people @everyone.
