Rename Community Resources & Resources

Users often post tutorials in #resources:community-resources because tutorials are technically resources. The naming of this category is confusing.

In addition, #resources and #resources:community-resources are very similarly named and this causes confusion. The word community really isn’t a distinguishing adjective.

Lastly, #resources does not adequately convey that topics in the category are made by the community and not by Roblox staff.


To further clarify:

Resources = Assets & Tutorials

Assets = Scripts, maps, websites etc.
Tutorials = Guides

Assets ≠ Tutorials


Therefore, I propose the following solution:

  1. Rename “Resources” to “Community Resources”
  2. Rename “Community Resources” to “Community Assets”

I see “assets” interpreted as physical models and such, not necessarily stuff like open source libraries/frameworks/modules in general, so those could probably have their own category, or maybe tag use can be enforced. I personally can’t be bothered to use tags, so I usually don’t, since categories are just glorified tags so if they maybe made a category for those that would probably be good aswell.

This excludes resources such as articles, collections of links, and even plugins (they’re not assets).

More granularity here like suggested above could be nice.

What about community insert word here I just forgot? Resources is already covered in the title, and resources is where things like models, plugins, and things that aren’t tutorials fall.
