I think he was referring to Jeff’s suggestion a synonym be created. @codinghorror is the ultimate authority on this kind of thing.

I’m a fan of the synonym but I am not sure it would be worth a bunch of extra engineering work.

Actually I kind of think that @debryc’s suggestion of `start tutorial` is way better than the `start new user` that we have now. The latter seems incomplete and perhaps we should just rename the default trigger? I’m not really keen on supporting synonyms here because the customization option is already there.

That is fine, I support that, what would the advanced start look like?

`start tutorial` and `start advanced tutorial` make the most sense to me, as @debryc said in the OP 😉

The default triggers have been updated.

Thank you for the suggestion @debryc 👍

And thank you for the update!
1. Will the “start new user” command still work in the future?
2. This is my updated welcome message! I’m very happy with what this discussion produced for my community. Thank you again everyone.

Nope, that has been removed in favor of `start tutorial`.

I remember a similar discussion long ago and I think I remember that the problem with
```
start tutorial
```
Is that it is not 20 characters. But they are both 14 characters (if I can count), so I must be thinking of something else.

You are remembering correctly; we specifically relaxed the minimum character limit in the discobot topics.
