GENERAL CHAT INFORMATION

   
    Discord is a popular website/program for chatting in groups through text or talk. It is mainly used by the gamer community and is steadily growing. 
    It has a lot of interesting features such as grouping people into roles, making multiple channels in a single chat and also being able to change your name, however, you see fit (You can also change your username instead of your chat nickname). 

    One important function is pinned messages as the top of discord is a pushpin icon next to a bell and the member's icon. This Pinned icon will show important pinned messages. Pinned messages change from channel to channel. Make sure to always check the pins for messages.

    The Isomara Island Discord chat is broken up into multiple categories with many channels for different conversations. You can read up on each of the channels below.  
    The chat member list is also separated into roles. These roles are used to distinguish members and staff (NPCs) apart from each other. Read more about the individual member roles below.


CHAT RULES

  • All group rules also apply to the Discord Chat.
  • You have to be a member of Isomara-Island to join the chat. 
  • You do not need to own an Isomara to be a part of the chat
  • Keep conversations around PG-13
    • If it is something you normally wouldn't bring up around your friends, parents, or friend's parents or hear it on an average children's cartoon channel it might not be fitting here. 
  • Non Isomara-Island topics are allowed. There are separate channels for certain other topics (Read more about the channels below).
  • Treat others with kindness and respect; if you have complaints, drama, or other sorts of issues, refrain from speaking about them in chat. Discord has its own personal messaging and call system.
  • Overly degrading discussions of religion, politics, sexuality, groups of people, etc. are not allowed. If such things happen an NPC may have to step in and sway the conversation elsewhere and comments may be deleted as well.
  • Do not post links to profane/sexual/harmful content. Keep cursing to a minimum. A bot may delete your comment if the cursing is too vulgar.
    Thumbnails 
    automatically appear on discord and many people may not want to see such things. Links to music with more vulgar language and tones may be reviewed by NPC's if linked. If you are unsure on whether something is allowed to be posted or not you probably should not post it or instead you can ask any NPC privately. 
    • Tip1: Use < before and > after a link to make sure no thumbnail appears.
    • Tip2: Use || before and || after a link or text to place it in a "spoiler box". ||Url and/or text||
  • No spamming or flooding of any kind. This includes links, emoticons, and constant spam of the messages. We also do not support the use of ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME. It's alright to do every so often, but do not post many strings of comments all in caps. Thank you. 
    • We do have bots that monitor spam and language, if your message is deleted assume a bot found it going against our guidelines.
