    Hello!
    For those absent during the FIFA World Cup 2014, PO had an unique channel to discuss the games and of course, the surprises that have been marked this WC as the best ever! For those who still want to visit it, # FIFAWC2014 will always be there (I hope so).
    Well, I'm here to talk about an idea that came up from the player-base of the channel itself, which is a sports channel for the Pokémon Online. The channel main objective would be discuss sports (q) (such as NBA, soccer / football, volleyball and etc). [we still need to discuss it]
    The way the channel can work will be discussed in further forward (if approved) but should occur in the same way as # FIFAWC2014 was organized.

    That's it, kissus~

    Perry's Edit: The idea has been approved, so check out #Sportscenter!

    100% behind this. Would love to have a place in PO to talk sports without having to sift through everything else.

    I think it would be a great idea! It was pretty fun to talk about the WC in the # FIFAWC2014. The WC Fantasy league was also fun and it would be cool if we had more of those in the future.

    THIS WOULD BE AMAZING. Sport talks usually take over Tohjo , and they bore the death out of guys who are not interested in sports. LGI

    just something really similar to how the fifawc2014 channel was set up should be fine imo

    FULLY SUPPORTING this; we definitely need a sports-oriented channel on the server and #FIFAWC2014 was a success too. lgi

    Hold on a minute, let's not go nuts here. While I'm supportive of such a channel, along with other channels to discuss other aspects of society, I think we're going about it the wrong way by impulsively throwing our support down without having any idea how to structure said channel. Is the channel going to be official? How will the channel be moderated? Will the channel be moderated? Who will moderate the channel? There are more questions that need to be asked, but they aren't springing to mind.

    Like I said, I do support this, but I both don't understand why sports exclusively is receiving this treatment or how such a channel will be maintained.

    @Fegelein

    Regarding the FIFAWC channel, Mr. Perry, Draciel and myself were owners and we chose a few trustworthy users (mostly cstaff and mods) who helped us to moderate the channel (we didn't have problems with troublemakers in the old channels, it's just to be on the safe side). Since this channel is going to be of a similar mould, we would be happy to host it again. We'd ofcourse have to improve it a bit for an official channel that would last longer than 1 month.

    In case this channel becomes official, how would it deal with those who break rules? Would it be a server mute/ban or a channel mute/ban? Because there is the Mafia Social channel where Polkabot is in which means that the logs get saved and even then rule breakers aren't dealt with with server infractions and they get away with it.

    The server owners will decide that.

    Supporting this, hopefully it doesn't become as dead as the Fifa channel in the end.

    Edit: @Fegelein, i think sports is getting this 'treatment' because people are asking for it and we're trying to make it happen. Maybe we can create more channels like this if people are interested! This is not meant to be offensive btw, I feel like it may sound like that but I assure you it's not.
