As a Roblox developer, it is currently annoying when I see posts for #help-and-feedback in #development-discussion . The solution to this problem would be moving the category in between #collaboration and #forum-feedback .
I don’t see an immense change, people once they scroll down, they’re bound to find out the #development-discussion category, and will continue to face the same issue as it is facing now.
I used to think Development Discussion was the only category also, and the human eye would see Help and Feedback as the first thing, so they would be more likely to post there.
This isn’t going to fix anything. #help-and-feedback is already visible without any scrolling. If someone thinks #development-discussion ie the only category when they can visibly see other categories, I don’t know what to say.
In Update 1, I said putting it closer to the bottom would be better due to forum users not being able to see the category.
Putting it on the bottom and putting #help-and-feedback on top will surely make forum users think it is the only category that they can post in for a while.
What I am saying is, it would limit the use of #development-discussion. The category name has a very misleading title, and moving it down would likely prevent people from mis-using it.
I remember having a conversation with a former friend and in it he suggested that putting it under #bulletin-board would cause users to post the topics in #bulletin-board, by instinct. I’ve already seen a few topics in #bulletin-board (because discourse mobile does a really good job at hiding muted categories) that would have otherwise been posted in #development-discussion (but still inappropriate for the latter).
Now I think we’re going to get false bug reports saying it’s a bug that it’s moved down
