Hey there,

I was thinking about that when I saw people entering #modhelp and still dropping some requests. I think that would be cool and would make things clear, when joining a channel, there could be a very small description describing the channel.

like

"You've joined #osu, the place for general discussion ! English only !"

or like "You've joined #modhelp, where you can ask tips for modding and mapping !"

For first time joiners, that would be helpful, I think.

Oh wow, Never thought of that, but it would be extremely useful! Especially with people saying "OMG OMG PLAY MY MAP PLEEEASE" in modhelp...

Sushi told me to promote or else he'd silence me so here goes


No, really it'd be good to have. Especially with the newly born #rajio, and the tournaments in place, right now #twc for example.
So yeah +support

Not sure, I can imagine how annoying that would be to some people.

That's why I'm stating a very short description. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't annoy people if it is like the message "Joined #osu !" or w/e channel

Yeah, well, then again, if they have OCD or something, it's their own problem.

That should be really easy to do. Just show up channel topic and that's it.

Supporting without stars.

This is good idea, but user who don't have stable connection will get mass topic/motd messages.
If there is good implementation for this, channel-motd works well.

or exclude #osu is one way.


am lazy to check logs but there was no request before?

I searched through the previous requests and I didn't find something about it (or it was really explained differently).

A nice idea. I think it would be productive if someone types up the descriptions for the channels now so that it would be easy for a person to implement them.

Sushi already outlined the only two channels that matter (though I wouldn't have used such direct language on the second sentence as it doesn't fit with the style of osu!, I guess) and the others are just a matter of translating the description for #osu. We should be able to round up a few people to take care of that pretty easily after this feature's been given the green light, but I think it's too bothersome to consider asking so many people for a request that possibly won't be followed right now. Let's wait.

backing my idea up, I think that it would be good for #lobby also. it automatically connects when you go into multiplayer and many people, everyday, think that #lobby is their #multiplayer. I think a good sidenote would be great.

Also adding usefull links related to the channel would be good (like rules etc...)

Well, we already have these small descriptions when looking for a channel


If the description should be >very short< then we already have one ^.
If it'd allow for some more info (maybe links), then I'd be all for it.

Have you seen the message you get when joining #osu? Its exactly like that, not channel descriptions

Yea, if it's like that them Im all fine with that. Just in case the idea was about adding "This is the english community channel. English only" or similar to the chatrooms, because that'd be done by the channel descriptions.

Edit: Now I remember why I posted that, since these two things are basically the same.

If it was a message like in the actual #osu, then I like that idea

Being able to insert links to localised short guides will be quite useful.

I've been thinking about this aswell.
I'd especially welcome a topic/message of the day for multiplayer rooms, one the host can create and that would be displayed either permanently to the right side of the chat or once when entering the room.

This would be useful for explaining the topic of a room or the rules for host rotation, or whatever else the host wants joining players to know.
Should I make an own post about this?
