==Rules==
==Rules==
For the most part, the Discord server shares the same rules as the IRC channel:
#Be respectful. Do not personally attack other members of this server. If they ask you to stop a behavior that concerns them in some way, do it. Respect other users' privacy and do not pester them.
*Use chat privileges responsibly, and avoid posting personal attacks. [[SW:NPA]] applies.
#Don't spam. Long messages should be posted via pastebin.
*Don't spam. Long messages should be posted via [http://pastebin.com/ Pastebin].
#Never post graphic or pornographic imagery. This includes both image uploads and links. This is a violation of both Discord's and SmashWiki's policies, and doing so will result in an immediate ban.<br>There is no ban on suggestive content in this server, but the proverbial line of what is acceptable and what isn't is entirely up to administrators and chat operators.
*Do not link to shock/porn sites, and do not post nude or sexually explicit images. This is a violation of both Discord's and SmashWiki's policies, and doing so will result in an immediate ban.
#Avoid offensive language. Overt and excessive sexuality, profanity, and violence is discouraged. What is acceptable is again up to administrators and operators.
**While there is no explicit ban on suggestive content, we do ask that users subscribe to a decent maturity level.
#Don't spam @everyone mentions. Everyone mentions are now restricted due to problems with it in the past. Those granted the ability to use it should not abuse it or they will lose it.
*Respect other users' privacy and don't be a pest. Do not inquire on topics that users do not want to discuss, especially personal ones, and avoid obnoxiously pinging users.
#Administrators and operators are the boss. Users are to do what they say. Any request or action taken by an operator can be appealed to an administrator, and likewise any action taken by an administrator can be appealed to me.
*Avoid overt and excessive sexuality, profanity, and violence on the server. What is considered excessive is up to a moderator's discretion.
#Stay on topic. There are multiple channels on this server (explained below). Users are expected to stay on the topic of that channel. Any request by an administrator or operator asking for a conversation to be moved to a more appropriate channel must be followed. Additionally, discussions should remain on topics that the majority of people agree on. Discussions should not be continued if the majority of people are not interested in continuing it.
*Discussion of SmashWiki bans (whether you are involved or not) is allowed, but it must remain civil.
#Do not beg for administrator status. Only SmashWiki administrators are granted administrator status. Other users can request for chat operator status if they wish, where they will then be judged by other users to determine if they should gain this power.
**As a sidenote, SmashWiki and this Discord server operate separately. Being blocked on SmashWiki will not result in being banned from the Discord server unless the block is related to the server. Likewise, a ban from the server will not automatically result in a block on SmashWiki.
#Do not evade silencing. Annoying offenses that may not seem ban worthy may get one silenced for a certain period of time. One may think that it may be a good idea to get out of this by leaving the server and returning to it, but it is not recommended: this will result in a permanent ban.
*All action and enforcement done is at a moderator's discretion.
#Use an appropriate nickname. Nicknames are available to all users on this server. Any profane or otherwise offensive nicknames will result in a kick from the server, afterwhich the user is free to rejoin with a more appropriate one. It is preferred that nicknames match users' SmashWiki usernames, although it's not totally necessary. Impersonation of other users is strictly forbidden.
*Being emotionally troubled, irritated, or suffering from disabilities such as autism are not valid excuses to break any of the above rules.


There are a few new rules though:
==Channels==
*Chat content should take place in the most appropriate channel. If the topic is straying from the scope of the channel, an administrator may ask for it to be moved. A list of channels and their topics is listed below.
*'''#welcome''': The first channel seen upon joining that lists the rules listed above, and then some.
*Please do not beg for administrator status. Only SmashWiki administrators are granted administrator status. Other users can request for chat operator status if they wish, where they will then be judged by other users to determine if they should gain this power.
 
*Annoying offenses that may not seem ban worthy may get one silenced for a certain period of time. One may think that it may be a good idea to get out of this by leaving the server and returning to it, or by [[SW:SOCK|sockpuppeting]], but these options are not recommended: they will result in a permanent ban.  
===Goofin' 'Round===
*Nicknames are available on this server. It is preferred that nicknames match users' SmashWiki usernames, although not totally necessary.
Channels intended for fun discussion/posting of whatever does not pertain to other channels.
**Note that impersonation of other users is strictly forbidden.
*'''#general''': For just about anything that does not break the above rules, and isn't best suited for other channels.
*[[User:eXemplary Logic|XL]] is a semi-permanent feature on the channel. As such, it is expected that the bot be used responsibly. Overspamming the chat with bot responses will first be greeted with a warning, then if the spam continues, a ban.
*'''#online-play''': For discussion of online matches between users.
*'''#meme-cavern''': A channel reserved for incessant posting/discussion of memes and the sort without disrupting general chat. Rules still apply here, however,
*'''#bot-spam''': A place for XL to be spammed without interrupting conversation. Rules still apply here as well.

The SmashWiki Discord server is a chat outlet that saves chat history (which in turn means that users can pass messages to users who are not online). It replaces the now-obsolete IRC channel system.

Rules

  1. Be respectful. Do not personally attack other members of this server. If they ask you to stop a behavior that concerns them in some way, do it. Respect other users' privacy and do not pester them.
  2. Don't spam. Long messages should be posted via pastebin.
  3. Never post graphic or pornographic imagery. This includes both image uploads and links. This is a violation of both Discord's and SmashWiki's policies, and doing so will result in an immediate ban.
    There is no ban on suggestive content in this server, but the proverbial line of what is acceptable and what isn't is entirely up to administrators and chat operators.
  4. Avoid offensive language. Overt and excessive sexuality, profanity, and violence is discouraged. What is acceptable is again up to administrators and operators.
  5. Don't spam @everyone mentions. Everyone mentions are now restricted due to problems with it in the past. Those granted the ability to use it should not abuse it or they will lose it.
  6. Administrators and operators are the boss. Users are to do what they say. Any request or action taken by an operator can be appealed to an administrator, and likewise any action taken by an administrator can be appealed to me.
  7. Stay on topic. There are multiple channels on this server (explained below). Users are expected to stay on the topic of that channel. Any request by an administrator or operator asking for a conversation to be moved to a more appropriate channel must be followed. Additionally, discussions should remain on topics that the majority of people agree on. Discussions should not be continued if the majority of people are not interested in continuing it.
  8. Do not beg for administrator status. Only SmashWiki administrators are granted administrator status. Other users can request for chat operator status if they wish, where they will then be judged by other users to determine if they should gain this power.
  9. Do not evade silencing. Annoying offenses that may not seem ban worthy may get one silenced for a certain period of time. One may think that it may be a good idea to get out of this by leaving the server and returning to it, but it is not recommended: this will result in a permanent ban.
  10. Use an appropriate nickname. Nicknames are available to all users on this server. Any profane or otherwise offensive nicknames will result in a kick from the server, afterwhich the user is free to rejoin with a more appropriate one. It is preferred that nicknames match users' SmashWiki usernames, although it's not totally necessary. Impersonation of other users is strictly forbidden.
