"Has anyone on Discord asked this question already?"
Almost certainly. Sometimes it can be hard to search things on Discord due to needing to know the proper words to search. That's totally normal! Try keeping your search basic. Don't forget to use in:#map_making to narrow your search results!
"Have I spent at least 15 minutes trying to solve this on my own?"
After asking yourself the above questions and acting on them, make sure you've spent at least 15 minutes researching before asking.
