Yeah I'd +1 this
Idt forums get a ton of traction and allowing users to post their events on #events on discord would increase visibility since significantly more people check on discord than the forums.
Even if the staff wants to keep the event channel locked (totally get it to prevent spam or off topic banter), maybe there can be a system where a user with an event can DM Babe/Omri with a writeup to post onto the channel on behalf of them, which doesnt seem like a lot of effort to pull off on the staff's part.
Just some thoughts
