A few months ago, [v] brought up the fact that the scripting rules were going to be revised to combat URL-parameter insertion of text on the telegram page. This change was wildly unpopular in the RFC thread, and largely fell by the wayside. However, we are revisiting this discussion now internally, and as the gameside comms development manager, it's in my wheelhouse to bring up the public discussion. Please note this post, I am disinclined to continue with this line of discussion without compelling reason. (10/8/22)
Here's what I want to know:
- How large is the impact to your recruitment workflow if this change is implemented?
- What reasons do you have for using this method?
Ideally, for the first item, I'd like to see time data. I have some data that I've produced myself, but I would like to see yours as well.
I know that this change is likely to continue to be unpopular, so I would also like to know, what can we do to lessen the blow? Is a queue rebalance sufficient to offset the impact? Can we offer a better API endpoint for finding new nations? Let me know in this thread.
- The Bad Faith standard applies in this thread.
- Please do not comment without reading this post in its entirety.
- Comments simply along the lines of "recruitment sucks, I don't like it without this" are valid feelings to have, but please expand more, low effort posts aren't super helpful when we're looking for community input on how we can mitigate impact.
