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
For the most part, the Discord server shares the same rules as the IRC channel:
- Use chat privileges responsibly, and avoid posting personal attacks. SW:NPA applies.
- Don't spam. Long messages should be posted via Pastebin.
- 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.
- While there is no explicit ban on suggestive content, we do ask that users subscribe to a decent maturity level.
- 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.
- Avoid overt and excessive sexuality, profanity, and violence on the server. What is considered excessive is up to a moderator's discretion.
- Discussion of SmashWiki bans (whether you are involved or not) is allowed, but it must remain civil.
- 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.
- All action and enforcement done is at a moderator's discretion.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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 sockpuppeting, but these options are not recommended: they will result in a permanent ban.
- Nicknames are available on this server. It is preferred that nicknames match users' SmashWiki usernames, although not totally necessary.
- Note that impersonation of other users is strictly forbidden.
- 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.
Text Channels
- #welcome: The first channel seen upon joining that lists the rules listed above, and then some.
- #general: For just about anything that does not break the above rules.
- #smashtopic: A Smash-centric channel for Smash-only discussions.
- #smash-bros-ultimate: Meant for discussion/speculation pertaining to the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- #smashwiki: For pointing out edits, discussing bettering the wiki as a whole, administration concerns, etc. Please note that while this channel is for wiki-specific goings-on any argument made for the deletion, moving, merging, protecting, etc of an article on this channel will be disregarded if not discussed on the relevant talk page. Also note that this channel is exclusive to those with the SmashWiki contributor role.
- #server-maintenance: The channel best-suited for reporting any issues pertaining to the server, as well as request roles and emojis.
- #live-events: Intended for use alongside major live events (such as E3, Nintendo Directs, and tournaments), so as to prevent reactions to these events from flooding other channels.
- #online-play: For discussion of online matches between users.
- #bot-spam: A place for XL to be spammed without interrupting conversation. Rules still apply here, however. Exclusive to SmashWiki contributors.
Additionally, there is currently only one voice channel available, that being Voice chat!. The text channel #vc-talk is to be used alongside this channel to post links and the sort, as well as allow users who do not have access to a microphone to interact with other users who are in the voice chat. Both of these channels are exclusive to SmashWiki contributors.
Roles
- Administrator: They have the most permissions, being administrators, though this role can only be attained through being an admin/bureaucrat on the wiki; please do not request this role. They are trusted to monitor channels as well as resolve conflicts between other users.
- Chat operator: One may apply for a Request for Operator, at which point other users will determine whether they are well-suited for the role, not unlike a Request for Adminship on the wiki itself. They are expected to monitor channels and resolve conflicts, not unlike an Adminstrator.
- Silenced: Used to prevent users from posting as punishment without kicking/banning said users, though it also allows them to read the messages of others.
- SmashWiki contributor: Granted only to autoconfirmed users on the wiki, which grants access to several additional channels.
- NIWA affiliate: Granted only to the administrative staff of NIWA wikis.
- Mention everyone: Granted only to users considered trustworthy enough to use the "@everyone" command.
- Purge safe: Granted to active users without other roles to prevent them from being purged (kicked from the server) for being inactive.
