1. Description of the Feature Request:

the /support command currently prints out a message with two buttons, one of which being the 💰 Donate Now I feel that this button emoji can be something more on the idea of what is it to support us. Because for me the money bag kind of resembles greed, maybe from all the cartoon that I watched when I was a kid that had greedy people having lots of money bags, or banks.

It could be an emoji of Open collective, Heart, custom-made emoji, or this rocket 🚀 I'm pretty sure there are better ideas too.

Appreciate a second opinion on this if someone can see the connection I'm making

2. Acceptance Criteria:

Replace money bag emoji with something else

3. Additional Information:

I left the assignment box unchecked in case this issue gets accepted, it would be a good first contribution

@Mclilzee can't make the 💰 -> greedy connection personally, but happy to concede to another emoji. What do you think about 🚀 then?

[Mclilzee]

I don't feel this one represent the donation idea either, I think more opinion about this from the team would do us good here. Could be it's only me that sees it as greed emoji.

[MaoShizhong]

While I can see how some might think :moneybag: a bit of stretch for "greed", I can actually see how some would associate it slightly more that direction. Like, I don't think it's a "big deal" by any means, but the suggestion does still make sense to me as to where it's coming from.

A custom emoji for Open Collective sounds nice. How about making the backer badge a custom emoji and using that instead? Don't think a coin, particularly one with Odin on it and the one that's used as the backer role badge, can be argued as "greed-related" as :moneybag:

Thoughts?

[BryanF1nes]

I'm not sure if this is still something being discussed, but I like the suggestion from Mao.

Something that is more related to Odin as a "brand" feels like a smarter option.

[MaoShizhong]

@Mclilzee happy to change the emoji for the donate button to use '1270559118368964710'? That's the backer coin emoji ID number.

Can also open it up for less experienced contributors as per your original message.

[Mclilzee]

Yes, that is very reasonable and a great idea!

[MaoShizhong]

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] The /support slash command's "donate now" button has its emoji changed from '💰' to '1270559118368964710'

Hey 👋 I would like to contribute if possible.

Just for clarification as well, all you need to do is change .setEmoji('💰') in https://github.com/TheOdinProject/odin-bot-v2/blob/9ced2805a0bbd2737f493860e114ab942f37e47e/new-era-commands/slash/support.js to match '1270559118368964710'? E.g:

.setEmoji('<:backer:1270559118368964710>')

[MaoShizhong]

@ItsTosh just .setEmoji('1270559118368964710>') should be sufficient.
