Mechanical question channels for the discord.

[UltraNumeron]

Since the help server got merged with this one, there has not really been any place to ask mechanical questions about the server, so adding a channel for that (maybe some for specific departments too?) would be great. Especially since our wiki is quite outdated and our codebase is quite different from other SS13 servers.

Learning in-game is nice though you do sometimes need to ask about some things beforehand.

Also while were at it, might aswell just add a mechanical discussion channel too. For talking about balance and gameplay and so on, since general chat is dominated by unrelated things mostly.

In theory, serious chat channel is for this, however it does often get neglected.

Serious discussion gets neglected because the channel is vaguely named serious discussion. It does not really imply much and elaborates only that it's a place to seriously discuss issues.

Which, does not make it appear much as a place to talk about the game overall.

Such a channel makes sense to me. I've never seen #serious-dicussion as having anything to do with mechanics. I thought that was for like.. policy or other meta-things that wasn't as simple as IC mechanics.
