Reasoning: Since this is a service made for gaming, pehaps a gamertag/username channel? I'm in another discord that has one so people can add each other and find people to play with. Just an idea. And if the mods like the idea, perhaps a vidyagame voice channel to go with it as not to clutter the other one?
Mod Team Response: for now, just use tour bus and general. this is the first time gaming has been remotely mentioned here, and right now it looks like this server will not be focused on gaming and the like.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 10/22/2017, 10/23/2017
Reasoning: Does the bot need to greet EVERY new person? it might be a good idea to move where it greets and keep it set to greeting everyone? i've seen discords with separate welcome channels just for the bot....that might be alright
Mod Team Response: #greetings channel was created on 1/10/2018

Background Information: We used to have a drum corps meme channel on the server, which was closed in June 2019 due to misuse of the channel and toxicity. This suggestion was about adding an off-topic equivalent for this meme channel due to spam in the channel, back when it was not as toxic. It was also requested that it not have to abide by the NSFW rule.
Mod Team Response: The point of the drum corps meme channel was to be an equivalent to this subreddit. It was meant to only contain drum corps related memes, not random everyday ones. Members of the server were welcome to post memes in the media channel. Due to the public nature of the server and the fact that there are minors, we determined not to make an NSFW meme channel either.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 2/28/2018
Reasoning: N/A
Mod Team Response: We added Corps Roles on 3/1/2018!
Date(s) of Suggestion: 4/6/2018
Reasoning: We did not have that as a role category at the time.
Mod Team Response: Added the category and displayed it on the member list.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 6/6/2018, 3/18/2019
Reasoning: For people that switched over from brass to woodwinds (or vice versa)
Mod Team Response: lol no
Date(s) of Suggestion: 7/11/2018
Reasoning: N/A
Mod Team Response: No, this server is public and minors are present on the server.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 7/12/2018
Reasoning: when there's an opening in a corps that you know about you can ping that role
Mod Team Response: We created the "Looking for a corps" role.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 7/14/2018
Reasoning: When someone has the age out role, it's hard to tell whether they're in their age out year or have already aged out
Mod Team Response: We renamed the role from "Age Out" to "Aged Out" to help differentiate this a bit better.
Date: 7/14/2018
Background Info: A question was asked about posting stream links and if they would would break any rules.
Mod Team Response: At the time, we said that we highly advised against doing this, but now this is against Rule 7.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 12/21/2018
Reasoning: I know there's an age out role, but it's not very used. I find it got confusing in the season to ask someone how their season is going and they reply that they aged out X years ago.
Mod Team Response: Adding the role over a year and a half after the server started would result in a low adoption rate and most people would not realize that they should add it to themselves.
Date: 12/29/2018
Background Info: It was brought up that it can be difficult to tell which corps someone has marched/worked with if they have multiple corps roles.
Conclusion: Most people that have multiple roles would likely be okay with questions about their corps roles, so other members should feel free to ask for clarification if needed.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 3/18/2019
Reasoning: User had gotten multiple direct messages with questions about being a drum major, so they wanted to see it be a channel instead.
Mod Team Response: #staff-leadership channel was created.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 3/18/2019
Reasoning: It would help with identifying which instrument(s) an individual is playing rather than using a broad group. It was also suggested to make "interest" roles for people who have not quite started playing the instrument but had questions.
Mod Team Response: We had a lot of people already in the broad instrument roles and it would be a lot of effort and loss of roles to update that information for everyone involved. Members can add a role if they have questions about it to ask, or they can use the general/serious channels instead.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 3/23/2019
Reasoning: Having a dedicated place for it would be nice since the dedicated Composition server was pretty much dead
Mod Team Response: We created the #composition channel.
Date(s) of Suggestion: 3/25/2019
Reasoning: Looking to stop the influx of know-it-all kids on the server.
Mod Team Response: We cannot set up an age limit due to being a public Discord Partnered server.
