Discord is a free-to-use text and voice chatting service which allows users to join servers dedicated to specific subjects for discussion. It was intended specifically to cater to video-gaming and can operate either through a web browser or a standalone app for desktop or mobile. Users are capable of joining servers when given an invite, which can take the form of a permanent or temporary link. Once joined, users can be given various levels of permission over the server's functions through roles that the server owner (or other trusted members) can define. Servers consist of channels, which can either be text or voice-based. Text channels also allow users to share images, video, and other files. In addition, weblinks, bots, emoji, and other customizations can be added to servers for additional functionality. Aside from servers, users can also maintain a friends list and chat privately with them, or with other members of a server they share in common.
WiKirby Discord
WiKirby has an active Discord server, which can be joined by following this link. A user account is required to join the server.
Also known as 'Shiver Star', the WiKirby Discord is owned and operated by Fubaka. It was originally an independent Discord server until the agreement was made to attach it to WiKirby in June of 2017.
Roles
The WiKirby Discord has the following roles associated with it, in ascending order of priority. Users may have multiple roles, but the higher priority one takes precedent in the colTemplate:Our of the user's name:
- Everyone - New users enter this group by default, and if they have no other roles have white display names. These users are free to use text and voice messaging, upload images and change their usernames. They cannot post messages in the channels under the 'Important' category, the 'wiki' channel, or other utility channels such as 'wikirby-rc'.
- Editors - Same as above, but they are allowed to post in the 'wiki' channel and can also kick or mute other users when no higher role is around to deal with a situation. These users are displayed in pink, and are automatically conferred to any member who has an account on WiKirby.
- Wiki Support - These users have limited Administrator status, but are primarily responsible for the upkeep of the wiki. They can be contacted to deal with server-side issues on WiKirby. These users have red names.
- Administrators - Called 'Admins' for short; these users have all-but full control over the server, and can modify most aspects of it. They can also ban and unban users. These users have blue names.
Other more minor roles exist, but these are for utility purposes only.
Rules
The WiKirby Discord operates under the following basic rules of conduct:
- Keep language PG
- Do not post anything NSFW
- Be respectful toward other members
- Do not spam or repeatedly post in the wrong channel
- If an Admin tells you to do something, do it
- If you have any issues with admins, please PM Fubaka about it
- Do not ask to become an Admin, unless you are one on WiKirby
- Please keep discussion of politics and other sensitive issues to a minimum
While enforcement of rules is strict, punishment will not be dealt unless rules are broken repeatedly or egregiously. Punishment usually means a kick or ban of a predetermined length of time, and appeals can be made if this happens.
