gollark: Esoserver currently operates a #suggestions channel into which, presumably, suggestions go and are discussed a bit. This seems to work okay without enforcing a particular style of discussion, although most bulk metadiscussion just goes in <#348702212110680064>. We haven't really had any large-scale debates happening, so who knows.
