[bug] No autogenerated message displayed for new Issue

[poojaranjan]

Based on earlier addition to bot's functionality, the general expectation is that for a new Issue, bot should display a message for the user to ensure the issue created is not for the "discussion-to".

Unfortunately, I don't see any such message for the Issue 4500

Someone might want to look into it.

[poojaranjan]

I was assuming that the "bot-message" is displayed for every new issues but recently learned that is only for new users.

It would be nice to have the bot-message for every new issue, at least for a period of time until we streamline the process.

Bot message - Since this is your first issue, we kindly remind you to check out EIP-1 for guidance. If this issue was created as a “discussions-to” for an EIP or to discuss an idea for an EIP, please close it and create a thread at Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians.

If we switch to having the bot comment on every new issue then we should remove the bit at the start that says "Since this is your first issue, ".

If this issue was created as a “discussions-to” for an EIP or to discuss an idea for an EIP, please close it and create a thread at Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians.

@MicahZoltu @poojaranjan what do you all feel is the best next step here?

[MicahZoltu]

I think we decided in the meeting that the bot should comment on every issue. If it does, I still recommend the text in my previous comment. Does anyone remember if this was decided or not? @poojaranjan @lightclient?

[alita-moore]

Okay, I'll add it. It will be easy to change if it's not desirable

[poojaranjan]

I am fine with suggested changes by @MicahZoltu. I think it make sense to remove the first issue statement.

[poojaranjan]

Does anyone remember if this was decided or not?

I have to revisit the decision, but I suppose adding the comment to every new issue created, will help users to read and follow.

[mryalamanchi]

Yes, the bot-comment should be added to every issue, be it from a first-time-issue-creator or users who already created it before.

The eip-1, itself, can go under updates that both might not be aware of.
Suggestion for bot-message:

We kindly remind you to check out EIP-1 for guidance.

If this issue was created as a “discussions-to” for an EIP or to discuss an idea for an EIP, please close it and create a thread at Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians.

Also, should we provide the link to Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians?

[MicahZoltu]

Yes, the Ethereum magicians reference should be a link.
