Summary:
No more game changes that are only discussed on Discord.
Details:
Discord is not,and SHOULD NOT, be an acceptable place where game change features can go from concept to implementation. As it stands, major game changes can be railroaded through without the knowledge, or input, of the player base. Especially considering the nature of Discord and how swiftly even topics in shared channels can get lost.
Benefits:
See above. This is self-evident. Who thought that was a good idea?
Possible Downsides/Exploits:
None. None at all.
