Discord Server for MarioKartWii.com
Server created on June 6th, 2018. Credits to Star for getting everything initially configured.
Permanent Invite Link - https://discord.gg/vKwjqrCBCp
Current Owner of Server: Scruffy
Rules/Notes:
I. Spam
This is very subjective. I understand users get in a 'hyped mood' and will spam some things here and there. That's fine. But if a person is spamming non-stop for a long time, that will not be allowed.
II. Graphical/Inappropriate Content
Don't post any graphical aka inappropriate content. Use common sense.
III. Downloads
Don't post illegal download links.
IV. Code of Conduct
No flaming, bullying, slander, false accusations, etc. If you are a user that feels you are on the receiving end of somebody flaming/bully you, it is advised you block that person(s). If you are on the receiving end of somebody slandering you or falsely accusing you, it is advised you take a screenshot/video, and send the screenshot/video to a mod or the admin via DM.
V. Privacy
Do NOT post other people's personal information unless you have their full consent. This includes (but is not limited to) last names, middle names, irl photos, links to social media accounts, addresses, phone numbers, IP Addresses, and location of residence.
Also no 'half-leaks'. Basically half-leaks are leaking a hint or clue that can reveal (with average intelligence) something that is private to a user.
VI. Channel/VC Specifics
Here are the following text channels~
#welcome - A simple welcome channel (nobody can post in) that has a simple welcome message that contains links to the forums
#general - For any type of discussion that isn't about coding/powerpc-assembly.
#codes-and-support- Where new codes (from the forums) are posted at, plus any discussion about making/using cheat codes. This channel is also for discussion about learning PPC assembly.
#media - For pics/vid links
#off-topic - Randomness, memes, etc
#new-member - A channel that sends a message anytime a new person joins the discord server
Here are the following voice channels~
#general - For all conversation (other than staff conversations that need to be private)
#staff - Used by staff for any discussion that needs to be private
#afk - Users are placed here automatically if they go AFK for a long period of time
About Banning/Kicking
If the rules are not followed, a few things can happen (depending on the severity). The user could be thrown in noob timeout (view noob timeout role in 'Details of Roles' for more details). If the user leaves the server and rejoins to try to get out of noob timeout, then a temporary short ban may occur. If the severity of any broken rule is high, the user may receive a short ban instead of being placed in noob timeout, or just receive a perma/indefinite ban.
This is all subjective, hence why there are mods to help the admin enforce the rules. If the user feels they received an unfair punishment, that user shall NOT complain about said punishment in the discord server (such as posting a complaint about a served ban in general discussion after said ban expires). The user will need to DM the mods or the admin. Insulting the mods/admins via DM will most likely result in a perma/indefinite ban.
Quick note regarding disturbances in VCs:
If you feel somebody is 'spamming' the VC, it is recommended that you locally mute the user first. Do not complain right away about server-muting someone just because you are the only one with the issue of hearing that person on the VC. If a user is causing multiple others to complain, then a possible noob-timeout for that user may occur.
