Not that the advice is likely to be taken into account, as previously observed.
BUT.
Maybe focus less as a whole into acquiring new users when you make the current user base feel completely unwelcome and disenfranchised.
What would adding any of those feature do for User Retention?
Nothing. That’s what.
IF the idea continues instead of taking our advice.
Please - at the very least - make sure you are teaching correct things to the users with a multi-faceted approach that also explains why doing something “this way” is better than doing something “that way”.
There’s so much content even in the learn section that should just be Unlearned because it’s a bad practice that it’s not even funny.
IF your team intends to do this seriously…
Then a head person needs to be put in charge of the effort. He/She also needs to be held accountable for “bad” choices and they have to be available to discuss/explain in the forums when these “ad-hoc” choices are brought into discussion.
AS things stand currently, Some of the tutorials teach wrong things that shouldn’t be done. No one from staff has ever actually addressed any of those concerns or given explanations when asked on answerhub or in any other avenue.
If anything, that’s even more of a problem than the lack of new content.
