HERESY ARMY BUILD - How shall we do this?
Added 2022-07-12 13:06:34 +0000 UTCOk, patrons, in a couple of weeks we'll record the first update, so I thought I'd canvas people's opinion on how to do this.
The initial idea was to keep this Patron-only and I think that's been a good one. Lots of people here seem interested, and it we have too many coming from all directions, it'll be difficult to keep track in the show.
Originally, my vague plan was to put out a call for submissions the week before filming (around the 15th of each month) and people could email their 'progress shot' (one or two images) for the month and we'd sort it out.
A few people have suggested doing this via Discord which allows a group to be constantly updated, and I could have a separate channel for 'monthly submissions'. However, running and moderating a Discord is a fair amount of extra work so I've always been a little cautious about it. There's the possibility to make that an extra level on this one-level Patreon, but kind wanna check in to see what people prefer.
So, what would people prefer?

I think another discord channel, for me, would just get caught up in the wash of the dozens of other channels. I'm for whatever happens either way, just my thoughts on it though.

2022-07-12 20:22:53 +0000 UTCI agree. While a discord would be cooler for the community aspect, helping each other out and offering advice etc. As others say. It is another job in terms of moderation. Plus would it be exclusive to people who sign up before a certain day/date or tier as you mentioned? Would a private Facebook group work? I don't really know how that works? Would that be easier to moderate?

2022-07-12 20:03:32 +0000 UTCI don't know what the overheads of running a Discord server are, but are there alternatives like a private subreddit? And just have it running as long as the tale goes on for.

2022-07-12 19:18:49 +0000 UTCAs much as I'd love a discord, I get the point about the extra work load - while a small server amongst a few people is managable, longer term that doesnt scale without additional support, hence the preference for mailing address. Community interaction would be awesome, but you have to ask if the extra work is really worth it.

You could also have volunteer moderators that you have picked to help with the extra workload. Though I can also see this being an issue as not all people that would want to join in would want to use discord.
