Hello Jays fans! Finishing touches are coming together for my bot rewrite, and the new bots should be taking over tomorrow if all goes to plan. With that finally out of the way I can start to focus on adding to the community. By far the biggest request is for in-game linescore updates and highlights to be added to the game day threads. So that is going to be my next main focus. Good news is I don’t think it will take anywhere near as long for those updates.
I wanted to create this thread as a centralized place for the community to suggest, well, anything relating to the community. Rules changes, bot/feature requests, banner/sidebar/icon photos, etc. I created this community way back when because personally I couldn’t support that other site anymore, but I have no desire to rule this place with an iron fist. I encourage anyone and everyone to drop their suggestions here, and if enough of us agree with the changes, then I will do my best to implement them.
So far everyone here has been extremely respectful of each other, with lots of good discussion, and there has not been a need to add any more mods to the team as of yet(I haven’t needed to perform a single mod action on any community comments/content). But as the need arises, if there are any volunteers feel free to list yourselves in this thread as well, and I can potentially draw from that pool of people first.
My thanks to all of you! We have started a great community here, I look forward to it’s continued growth!
By all means, continue to contribute in whichever ways you’re comfortable with! I wasn’t saying you need to post them, just that if you wanted to you could.
So far all the bot changes have just been QOL and code improvements behind the scenes, but the functionality hasn’t changed. I have no plans on implementing any automated bot comments polluting/diluting the discussion. The only thing I might consider at some point is user-triggered bot replies, such as the player stat bot comment I mentioned in another reply.
