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!

==Server rules==
The following are general rules for chatting on The Sims Wiki's Discord server,. includingThese inare specialmostly channelscommon orsense whileand usinghave voicebeen chat.specially Finaldesigned authorityto forbe interpretingeasy theto serverremember rulesand belongsinterpret solelywhile tonot thebeing servertoo byzantine or excessive.

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==
Line 96 ⟶ 128:
;Muted
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===
Line 102 ⟶ 137:
 
Following the closure of the Music voice channel on October 21, 2018, this role is considered defunct.
 
==FAQs==
===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.
 
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.
 
===Why can't I attach any images/files?===
Initially, only users with the "Trusted User" role could upload and attach images and files. As of February 1, 2019, this restriction has been lifted. If you are still unable to attach images and files, make sure that you are not trying to upload files that are too big; Discord limits file sizes to 8 MB for free users, and 50 MB for Discord Nitro subscribers.
 
===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 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, simply type <code>!request-trusted</code> in the ''#role-request'' channel, and a moderator will review your request.
 
===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.
 
===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 February 9, 2019, has '''11''' 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
* '''Miki''': Type <code>>help</code> to get a DM with 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.
* '''Discord.Me''': Bot provided by the [https://discord.me/ Discord.me] server listing website. It automatically generates one-time use invite links for users who pass a reCAPTCHA when joining the server from Discord.me. Bot will always appear offline and works quietly in the background. No usable public commands.
*'''GamesROB''': Discord gaming bot. Only available in the ''#spammerland'' channel. Type <code>g*help</code> for a list of commands you can use.
*'''WikiaLinker''': A bot that converts inline wikitext links (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{template name}}</nowiki></code>) into clickable links.
 
Please note that these bots are not maintained or owned by The Sims Wiki.
 
===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 ''#help'' channel.
