[Ovmsdev] Forum Notifications

[Ludovic LANGE]

Hi,

Don't we already have a Discord ?

Not that I'm a big fan of Discord (I found it a little ... 
distracting... given that we're not in a gamified environment. Perhaps 
too "friendly". But that's just a personal opinion)

Otherwise, on other projects I use Element (the UI) on Matrix (the 
protocol). It certainly has some drawbacks and valid opponents, but I 
found it sober, open (specs are open, protocol is open, and you can 
federate your own server if you so want) and up to the point.
(Btw Gitter.im is a chat and networking platform for devs, also using 
Matrix for its underlying protocol)

I don't know how all these tools handle spam, I haven't seen it for now.


Whatever the choosen approach, I don't think it's useful to have so much 
channels, it could fragment collaboration. So I'd recommend to forward 
all existing channel users to only one channel.

Regards,

It was a useful feature, but despite running new user verification emails, captchas, and stopforumspam lookups, we keep getting spammers polluting the forums and that gets us repeatedly blacklisted by the over-zealous Spamhaus.
