This issue consists of two parts:

  1. I believe we can improve helpdm's embeds by making changes such as:

    • Adding a mention to the claimant
    • Setting their profile picture as the thumbnail
    • Adding the condensed text that the claimant themselves receive
    • Updating the embed when the help channel has been closed

    In it's current state I don't find it helpful, since I usually am not able to identify which question I was answering just by looking at the help channel's name.

  2. While helpdm sometimes comes in handy when juggling between multiple help channels, what I would like more is to have the option to be notified for messages that I might have missed from the claimant. In terms of implementation, getting a DM from the bot if I haven't sent a message in the help channel 5 minutes after the claimant's message is what I had in mind.

I agree with all points made, and think they would make the helpdm system much more useful.

Were you intereseted in implementing any of this @Qwerty-133? (regardless, as a note if anyone would like to implement just part of this that would be fine as there's a couple of different things here)

I'll start working on helpdm for now.

With our migration to forum channels this week we are now using threads (posts) instead of channels, and closed/dormant posts now get referred to as #deleted-channel.

I'd like to suggest we add the channel name as text in the embed somewhere as well.

Helpdm was removed in #2968 so i'll close this issue.

Any suggestions for helpdm-like features that would still be relevant given we're now using forum channels can be put in #2975
