CABINET ORDER 7 | Originally published by @HumanSanity on 1 December 2021
Summary | The Cabinet sets regulations for executive ping usage on the regional Discord and requests actions from Discord administration to enable these changes to be made.
The Cabinet,
Recognizing the problem of excessive numbers of Discord “pings” being directed by Cabinet members to the entire Discord server for smaller business while also acknowledging that in the past this has been necessitated due to the lack of more targeted ping options,
Hereby:
-
Requests that Discord administration create five pingable Discord roles which individual Discord users can opt-in to receiving pings for by reacting to a message in the welcome area of the TSP Discord. Specifically, the Cabinet requests these five roles be for: Upvote Squad (upvoting NationStates Dispatches published by TSP), WA Update Ping (giving information about WA voting recommendations and OWL votes), Games and Events (announcing smaller Discord-based games and social events), News and Information (for being informed about smaller news/updates from the government), and Voice Chat (for users who want to be notified when others are voice chatting in the Discord server). In the future, the Cabinet will endeavor to collaborate with Discord administration should changes to this system be required.
-
Requires that Cabinet members use the least invasive ping(s) required to disseminate their message or information when making announcements on Discord. Additionally, Cabinet members must receive Prime Minister permission to use a ping directed towards all users of the TSP Discord, all online users of the TSP Discord, or all citizens of TSP in the Discord server. Cabinet members will disseminate these guidelines to their Ministry staffs that have ping permissions in the TSP Discord.
-
Respectfully asks other government officials and those with permission to conduct pings to apply these same general principles, although not specific procedures, to their use of pings in the TSP Discord.
