Hi everyone,
as you are all hopefully aware by now we have switched our main real-time communication platform for the region over to use the Discord platform. This has afforded the opportunity to incorporate new, and exciting integrations with other services to make for a more efficient experience. Among the many services we have successfully integrated are status updates from Waze regarding new tile builds and build delays, as well as many closure feed sources, and bots.

It has been brought to my attention that some editors are distracted by the Waze tile build update posts in the #general channel of the NOR server, while others enjoy its presence there.
-Some find that being members of several different servers, that seeing the same update information posted in the #general channel on multiple servers is annoying. It triggers the unread icon on the channel/server in their sidebar making it appear as there might be message waiting only to find that it was just a repost of the same update. This experience is leading o feel inclined to mute the #general channels which we'd like to avoid as a group. They have therefore suggested a new dedicated #status channel to be the home of such updates instead.
-Others find the updates useful, and are not bothered by seeing them in multiple servers. They feel the convenience of knowing the current status at the start of their editing day is beneficial, and the ease of access having it in the #general channel makes it more readily noticed by newer editors who may otherwise not think to look for it, or be aware of its ramifications.

I am therefore creating a 3 day poll to determine where the majority opinion lies.
This poll only affects the NorthEast Region (NOR) server on Discord.
If you are a member of the NOR server please cast your vote above. Feel free to also discuss below.
As stated the poll will run for 3 days, and you have the ability to change you vote if you choose to based on discussion below until it ends.
