Channel naming conventions
Don’t see a channel you want? Ask in #mumblechatter to see if others are interested, too. You can even create your own channel, such as for your Shield Lock or a one-time event! Here are some guidelines to help with naming the channel.
- Search for an existing channel that might be similar, and see if it’d make sense to combine channels.
- If applicable to your topic, use prefixes:
#1stf-: For fitness-related topics.#2ndf-: For social, fellowship-related topics.#3rdf-: For service projects, faith-based, and similar topics.
- Use keywords that people are likely to search for. For example,
#business-finance-careercovers a lot of bases.
