Hello All. I just saw the community thing announced by NetSuite. Are they just trying to replicate the slack channel but somewhere they can regulate/control it? And I see they keep spamming this channel with updates. Thoughts?
b
what community thing?
s
probably talking about netsuiteprofessionals.com
m
Yeah. What’s the deal with that
b
this slack is named NetSuite Professionals
this slack and that website are very related
and is in no way affiliated with, authorized, maintained, sponsored or endorsed by NetSuite Inc.
m
Ah. Gotcha. Thanks people.
k
So some advantages of the site is a long term archive
Better searching
Threads as opposed to just having channels
Ability for users to upvote answers
@kyle is a lead administrator for both slack and the website for NetSuite professionals. I'm not sure I've seen what you mean by aggressive spamming of articles? Unless you are referring to the slack bot posting when a new question is created on the website. If you are referring to that then, we are having some discussions over how it should work, it's certainly a fine line between driving traffic towards the site and posting too frequently. The primary goal is to improve user responses by allowing individuals to tag their questions, and provide a searchable log. (Slack logs only go back so far)

Got it. Thanks Kevin
