==What is Discord?==
Line 24 ⟶ 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.
==Server rules==
The following are general rules for chatting on The Sims Wiki's Discord server
;1. Discussions
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.
;2. Voice chat
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.
;3. Behavior
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
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 51 ⟶ 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
;Server Moderator
Line 71 ⟶ 101:
;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".
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 99 ⟶ 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
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.
===Defunct roles===
;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.
Following the closure of the Music voice channel on October 21, 2018, this role is considered defunct.
