Line 1: {{col-begin}} {{col-break}} The Sims Wiki has created a '''{{WP\|Discord (software)\|Discord}}''' chat server that is open to the public. Like ~~[[The Sims Wiki:Chat\|Chat]] and~~ [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel\|IRC]], Discord allows people to communicate in real-time. Once a user account is set up, using Discord and joining the server is relatively easy. See how much fun we have on the server by seeing our [[The Sims Wiki:Discord/quotes\|quotes]] page! {{col-break}} [[File:TSW Discord Logo.png]] {{DiscordIntegrator \| id = 351897341047078913 Line 10 ⟶ 11: \| width = 300px \| height = 350px }}<br /> <span class="plainlinks"><big><b>[https://discord.me/thesimswiki Click here] to join the server.</b></big></span><br /> ~~<small>By clicking "Connect", you agree to abide by the [[#Server rules\|server rules]].</small>~~ By joining, you agree to abide by the [[#Server rules\|server rules]]. {{col-end}} ==What is Discord?== Line 23 ⟶ 25: Anyone can join The Sims Wiki's Discord server. To join, you must have an account on Discord that is at least five minutes old with a verified email address (You can create an account [https://discordapp.com/register?redirect_to=%2F here]). To join the server, click on the following link: https://discord.ggme/~~UHKDcAn~~thesimswiki. This will open Discord in a separate tab, or open your Discord client. You will be added to the Welcome channel on the server, but you will be free to view and talk in most public channels on the server. ==Server rules== The following are general rules for chatting on The Sims Wiki's Discord server,. ~~including~~These inare ~~special~~mostly ~~channels~~common orsense ~~while~~and ~~using~~have ~~voice~~been ~~chat.~~specially ~~Final~~designed ~~authority~~to ~~for~~be ~~interpreting~~easy ~~the~~to ~~server~~remember ~~rules~~and ~~belongs~~interpret ~~solely~~while tonot ~~the~~being ~~server~~too byzantine or excessive. Server operators and moderators. ~~Special~~help ~~channels~~to onenforce ~~the~~these ~~server~~rules, ~~may~~but ~~have~~'''it ~~more~~is ~~specific~~everybody's ~~rules~~responsibility ~~than~~to ~~those~~follow ~~listed here~~them'''. If you have questions, just ask in ''#help''! Discussions in all text and voice channels must remain appropriate for a general audience. ;1. Discussions Excessive spamming of text channels, either through inclusion of nonsense or in linking to other websites multiple times after receiving a warning, will not be tolerated. Excessive spamming of voice channels, through the transmission of intentionally loud, repetitive, random, or irritating noise or audio, is also not tolerated. Keep discussions in all text and voice channels appropriate for a general audience. We ''permit'' controversial topics, criticism, rants, and roleplaying (in moderation; use ''#spammerland'' for unrestricted roleplaying). We ''do not permit'' racism, sexism, hate speech, personal attacks against other users, NSFW content, links to illegal content, or excessive advertising/spam. If you don't want your grandmother to see it, think twice before posting it. Spam in text and/or audio channels may result in the temporary revocation of permissions, removal from special text and/or audio channels, a kick from the server, the loss of "trusted user" role, or a permanent ban from the server. * The ''#spammerland'' channel is an exception to this rule; however, content must still be kept safe for work. Access to the ''#spammerland'' channel may be revoked from individual users at an operator's discretion if the channel is being used inappropriately.<ref group="n">Note that only Trusted Users may send messages to the ''#spammerland'' channel.</ref> ;2. Voice chat *Users who frequently transmit "dead air" over voice channels due to an improperly-calibrated microphone or high levels of background noise may have "Voice Activity" permissions removed. These users will be able to transmit audio over the channel only by using the “push-to-talk" feature. All server users are expected to behave in a civil manner, especially in situations where members are discussing sensitive or controversial topics. Harassment, exploitation of other users, attacks against other users, trolling or flaming is strictly forbidden. Server operators and moderators will take any steps necessary to end this behavior immediately, up to and including permanent bans from the server. Don't flood or disrupt voice channels through the transmission of intentionally loud, repetitive, random, or irritating noise or audio. Don't play music in the channels like a music bot or use the voice channels as a music radio station. Use push-to-talk if your microphone keeps transmitting "dead air" or high levels of background noise. No bots, except those allowed by server operators, may join or operate on the server. Users inviting unauthorized bots may be denied access to the server or be given reduced permissions. Users on the Discord server may not impersonate on-wiki users. Discord server users claiming to be on-wiki users must confirm this connection through a special [[The Sims Wiki:Discord confirmation\|confirmation process]], to be outlined by a server operator or moderator. ;3. Behavior Users who are inactive on the server for a long period of time may be removed from the server; any user roles they held prior to being removed will be forfeit and will need to be reacquired. Be civil, especially when people are discussing sensitive or controversial topics. Don't harass, exploit, insult, troll, or flame other users. When discussing these topics, try to comment on what people are saying rather than commenting ''on'' the person who is saying them. If things are getting heated, try taking a break from the discussion and going for a walk. Don't impersonate other users, especially on-wiki users. If you are a registered user on The Sims Wiki, please see the '''Wiki users''' section below. ;4. Invites Be reasonable with your invite settings. Don't set invite links to last indefinitely unless you have a good reason to do so. If you're inviting just a few people, set your invite links to expire after a few days. Unused invites may be deleted. We prefer that you use this link to invite users instead: https://discord.me/thesimswiki We're okay with invites to other servers, but please make sure they're relevant and don't spam them. For example, it's okay to link to a modding server if a modder is looking for a community to join, but it's not okay to spam that link over and over again. ;5. Bots You can use any talking bot in the server in any channel within reason, but please keep bot usage in moderation. If you want to play around with the bots, please use the ''#spammerland'' channel instead. Only server operators are allowed to bring bots into the server. Don't bring bots in here that don't use the Discord Bot API. Don't run programs like auto-clickers on your account to automate things. ;6. Role mentions Please use the ''@Server operators'' and ''@Server moderators'' role mentions for use in emergencies relating to the server only, like a sudden influx of spam or an extremely disruptive user. Please use the ''@Wiki administrators'' and ''@Content moderators'' role mentions for use in emergencies relating to the wiki only, like a significant wave of vandalism that needs to be addressed immediately. ;7. Wiki users If you are a registered user on The Sims Wiki, please consider having your on-wiki identity linked to your Discord identity so that we can help prevent people from impersonating you. This is usually done by asking you to make an edit on-wiki and then being given the "Confirmed wiki user" role on the server. This is not a strict requirement, but we reserve the right to mute or remove users we believe are impersonating someone else. See ''#role-request'' for how to get your identity confirmed. ;8. Spammerland ''#spammerland'' is a place for you to freely use bot commands, post random nonsense, roleplay, or goof around. However, you may not use ''#spammerland'' to attack or flame other users maliciously, upload NSFW content, or engage in hate speech. ;9. Inactivity We reserve the right to remove users if they are inactive on the server for a long period of time. ==User roles== The Sims Wiki Discord channel groups all users into ''roles''. Roles grant different permissions; users with higher roles are granted a greater number of permissions. The decision to move any user from one role to another rests solely with the channel operators. By default, users are not assigned any roles. These users may send messages to most public channels, but they cannot send TTS messages. They ~~cannot~~may upload files and embed links, ~~attach~~but ~~files, or~~cannot use external emojis. They may connect to voice channels, but cannot speak in them. They may also add reactions to any messages. Users should note that leaving a server automatically removes any roles granted to them; most of these roles are not automatically reassigned when the user rejoins. Line 50 ⟶ 84: ;Trusted User Trusted Users are users who have been deemed by a moderator or an operator to be trustworthy enough not to cause disruption to the server. They may ~~send TTS messages, embed links, attach files,~~ use external emojis~~, and add reactions. They~~ ~~may~~if ~~also~~they ~~change~~have ~~their~~Discord ~~nicknames~~Nitro. Trusted users may speak in voice channels using either push-to-talk or voice activity. ~~;DJ~~ DJs are trusted users who have been given access to the music-playing features of [https://bot.pvpcraft.ca PvPCraft]—a bot on the server—and are able to control the music that plays, start and stop the music, and handle song requests. This role is only a marker that PvPCraft recognizes and does not offer any additional permissions on the server. All moderators and server operators are already recognized by the bot and do not need this role. More information can be found by joining the ''#music_text'' channel on the server. ;Server Moderator Line 65 ⟶ 96: Server Operators manage the server. In addition to serving as Server Moderators, Server Operators can adjust any user's roles, change the permissions available to different user roles, create or delete channels, and make other broad, large-scale changes to the server. Server operators have their nicknames colored blue and are displayed separately from other users in the member list. All server operators can be contacted at once by typing ''@server operators'' into the text chat window (note that server operators are also included in the server moderator group, so all messages to ''@server moderators'' will also go to all server operators). This feature should only be used to contact operators to discuss urgent matters relevant to the operation of the server. Server Operators are selected by the server owner on an ''as-needed basis''. Applications for Operator permissions are currently not being accepted. ;Wiki Administrator The Sims Wiki [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators\|Administrators and Bureaucrats]] that are members of the Discord server are given the additional role of "Wiki Administrator". ~~Aside from being able to mention ''@everyone'', the~~The Wiki Administrator role does not grant any additional permissions beyond that of the Trusted User role, and Wiki Administrators are not automatically made Server Moderators or Server Operators. All wiki administrators on the server can be contacted at once by typing ''@wiki administrators'' into the text chat window. This feature should only be used to contact administrators relating to urgent on-wiki issues that require their attention. Line 98 ⟶ 129: The muted user role is a special user role that is used by a select few bots on the server with moderator capabilities, although it can also be granted manually by any human operator or moderator. Users with the muted role have their ability to speak in text and voice channels revoked and are unable to add reactions to messages. Mutes may be issued in place of kicks or bans at a moderator's discretion to stop disruptive behavior. ;Nitro Booster ~~==FAQs==~~ The Nitro Booster role is automatically granted to Discord Nitro users who have [https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028038352 boosted the server]. It does not grant any additional permissions, but as a thank you, boosters will be shown above all other users in the user list and be given a special role color. The role cannot be manually assigned or removed, and it is automatically removed if the user withdraws their boost or if their Nitro subscription expires. ~~===Why can't I send any messages?===~~ To help protect against spam and server raids, everyone must have at least 1) a verified email address linked to their Discord account; and 2) be registered on Discord for at least five (5) minutes. In addition, make sure you're not trying to send messages to a channel you don't have the "Send Messages" permission for. On our server, you can send messages to almost any channel you can view. Try switching over to the ''#general_chat'' channel and see if you can send any messages there. ===Defunct roles=== If you still cannot send any messages and you have followed all of the steps above, it is possible that a moderator or a bot has muted you, either temporarily or indefinitely. You may want to message a moderator for assistance. ;DJ DJs were trusted users who had been given access to the music-playing features of [https://bot.pvpcraft.ca PvPCraft]—a bot on the server—and were able to control the music that plays, start and stop the music, and handle song requests. This role was only a marker that PvPCraft recognized and does not offer any additional permissions on the server. All moderators and server operators were already recognized by the bot and did not need this role. More information can be found by joining the ''#music_text'' channel on the server. ~~===Why can't I attach any images/files?===~~ Currently, only users with the "Trusted User" role can attach images and files on our server. If you are not a Trusted User but still want to add images, you may upload them using [https://imgur.com/ Imgur] or another image hosting site and link to them in the server. ~~===Why can't I talk in any voice channels?===~~ ~~Currently, only users with the "Trusted User" role can speak in voice channels, although everyone is free to join and listen to any public channels.~~ ~~===What is this "Trusted User" role?===~~ It's a simple measure of controlling spam and server raids. Users with the "Trusted User" role can attach files, chat in voice channels, and use emojis from other servers. It is ''not'' a "privilege" position and it doesn't grant you any authority over other users; it's just that we feel confident that you're not an obvious spammer or troll. ~~===How do I get the "Trusted User" role?===~~ Currently only server operators and moderators can grant this role. If you've been chatting on the server for some time, you may be granted the role. It should not actually take too much to get this role. If you feel that you have been chatting for some time and that a moderator may have missed you, feel free to just let us know! ~~===What is this "Confirmed Wiki User" role?===~~ The confirmed wiki user role is our method of identifying who has an account on The Sims Wiki and has confirmed a link between that and their Discord account. This role does nothing on its own, and if you do not have an account on The Sims Wiki, you do not need to worry about it. If you ''do'' have an on-wiki account, see [[The Sims Wiki:Discord confirmation]] for how to get confirmed. ~~===I'm an on-wiki administrator. How do I get the Wiki Administrator role?===~~ [[Project:Administrators\|Administrators and bureaucrats]] on The Sims Wiki need to attain the confirmed wiki user role before they can get the wiki administrator role. See [[The Sims Wiki:Discord confirmation]] for instructions on how to get confirmed. ~~===I'm an on-wiki content moderator. How do I get the Content Moderator role?===~~ ~~See the question and answer above.~~ Following the closure of the Music voice channel on October 21, 2018, this role is considered defunct. ~~===How do I quickly contact server moderators and operators?===~~ ~~The quickest way to do this is to mention ''@server moderators'', which will notify all online server moderators.~~ ~~===What are the bots on the server? What can I do with them?===~~ ~~The Sims Wiki, as of March 15, 2018, has '''8''' approved bots on the server. Most of them have public commands that anyone who is able to speak on the server are able to use. The bots are:~~ '''blargbot''': Type <code>b!help</code> for a list of commands you can use * '''Tatsumaki''': Type <code>t!help</code> for a list of commands you can use * '''NotSoBot''': Type <code>.help</code> to get a link to the list of commands you can use * '''PvPCraft''': Type <code>p!help</code> to get a link to the bot's documentation page * '''Dyno''': Type <code>?help</code> to get a DM with a link to the bot's documentation page * '''Mee6''': Type <code>!help</code> to get a list of commands you can use * '''ServerHound''': Type <code>=help</code> to get a list of commands you can use * '''Discord.RSS''': Used to power the recent changes feed in the ''#recent_changes'' channel. No usable public commands. ~~Please note that these bots are not maintained or owned by The Sims Wiki.~~ ~~===What is the "Music" channel?===~~ The Music voice channel is where we, on occasion, place a bot in to play music for the server. We currently use [https://bot.pvpcraft.ca PvPCraft] for this. Anyone can listen to the music simply by joining the voice channel. To prevent abuse of the bot, only moderators and select DJs are able to control the bot's music functionality. The Music channel is not active at all hours of the day, only when a moderator or DJ is online and wants to play some music. If you have any song requests, you may leave them in the ''#music_text'' channel. ~~===What is the ''spammerland'' channel?===~~ The ''#spammerland'' channel is where the rules of the server are significantly laxer; users are free to use bot commands or goof off in the channel. They are still expected to abide by the rules surrounding civility and NSFW content. This channel is only open to Trusted users. ~~===I need help with Discord!===~~ If you need help with using Discord ''in general'', you can click the little question mark icon on the top-right corner of the app, or go [https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us here] to visit the Help Center. If you need help with using ''our server'' and your question hasn't been answered on this page, feel free to ask your question in the ''#discord_help'' channel. ==List of Operators and Moderators== Line 164 ⟶ 152: \|Server operator \|C.Syde \|- ~~\|{{Talklinks\|DanPin}}~~ ~~\|Server moderator~~ ~~\|Danny~~ \|- \|{{Talklinks\|GAHSIcepick}} Line 184 ⟶ 168: \|Server moderator \|Atlas Hugged \|- \|{{Talklinks\|TheMarmaliser}} \|Server moderator \|TheMarmaliser \|} ~~==Notes==~~ ~~<references group="n" />~~ ==See also== [[The Sims Wiki:Chat]] [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel]] [[Category:Discord\| ]]
