Discord

What's Discord?

Beside the Forums where you can talk and trade with people, you can also go onto the official TPPC Discord Server! You can go onto the TPPC Discord Server at http://tppcrpg.net/chat.php, or you can join it through a separate discord invite link.

Discord is a free VoIP and instant messaging social platform designed for video gaming communities. It specializes in text, image, video and audio communication between users in a chat channel.

Discord is much more efficient than TPPC's previous Chatrooms, IRC, as it is widely accessibly to almost everyone, on basically any platform. It runs on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, and in web browsers.

• You can download Discord onto any mobile device, as a desktop app, or use it directly through your browser.

Discord Roles

Every Discord server has various roles that staff can give to other members. Some roles give certain permissions, such as access to a certain channel.

• "Verified": The Verified Role confirms that you are who you say you are. This is advisable for trading and allows you to post images in the server. In order to obtain this role, you must verify your Discord account by messaging a staff member on forums with your Discord username and tag (ex: Jeremy#3541).

• "Contests": The Contests role allows any user that has the role to receive a notification each time the role is mentioned (ex: @contests), and also allows you to view the #contests channel. This is useful for those who want to be notified when there is an ongoing contest. To receive the Contests role, simply type "!contest" in #tppc or #trades. If it does not work automatically contact a member of staff.

• "Bot Boys": The Bot Boys role is only given to bots.

• Timeout: This role is given as an alternative to banning users who break the rules. If you receive the role, you will only be able to view the channel #rules-and-announcements until the end of your timeout. The time limit of the timeout varies depending on how serious the offense is.

• Colored Roles: Any verified user is able to request a staff member to give them one of the various colored roles. All this does is change the color of your name.

Staff Roles

• "Administrator": Supermoderator and above receive this role.

• "Moderator": Moderators receive this role.

• "Assistant": Assistants receive this role.

• "Chat Ruler": Given to a select few users who are capable of helping out on the server. Only has the power to give timeouts and edit emotes. Purely Discord staff, has no power elsewhere.

Rules

1. Please have only one Discord account per person (bots are generally not allowed, with a few special exceptions).

2. Stick to one or just a few nicknames. Do not change nicknames over and over constantly, as this is spam. Keep your nicknames and profiles appropriate. Do not use vulgarities, profanities, etc. in any of them.

3. Keep trades in #trades.

4. All site rules apply in the chatrooms as well, even if you're in a private channel. Do not intersite trade, etc.

5. Respect the staff in the room, including the server staff; if you are asked to stop doing something, please stop. If a staff member says that an issue has been resolved, please do not continue to bug them. It's OK to send them one reminder if you feel they forgot to look at it, but don't spam them if they've already addressed it.

6. If you have an RPG issue and no moderator is on the chat, please PM one on the forum.

• Do not create posts accusing another user of scamming, cheating, etc. Use the report function, or private message a moderator.
• Do not bug a staff member about a ban that is not yours. Ban issues are between the person whose account is banned and the moderator who set the ban... no one else.

7. Do not abuse bots or any of the server functions. Do not purposely spam these, or use them in a manner that is harmful or against their original design. If you wish to use scripts multiple times, please go to the #botspam channel.

8. Betting is no longer permitted anywhere on TPPC. Do not bet for anything, including Pokémon, intersite, for cash etc.

9. Be respectful and polite to others. Do not flame, harass/annoy others, or use foul language. Keep the general atmosphere somewhat kid friendly. 'Censoring' profanities is still not appropriate.

• It is not OK to mistreat moderators simply because they are higher status. If you think a moderator is breaking a rule, report them to another higher moderator. Do not take it upon yourself to 'handle' it.

10. Do not impersonate or pretend to be anyone you're not.

• You may not offer to trade Pokemon out of any account that you don't own.
• Selecting a unique/well-known forum/chat nickname that belongs to someone else can get you banned.

11. Please do not type words in all capitals or post a large amount of keyboard-mashing/nonsense.

12. English only. We know many diverse people play TPPC, but we require English for purposes of best communication and moderation.

13. Posting of others' personal information is not allowed for any reason.

• Gathering and sharing personal information of others amongst yourselves also falls under this rule, and is not allowed.

14. Do not beg. This stands no matter if it's for free Pokemon or if it's for powers or status. Asking to be a moderator will only lower your chances.

15. The best attempts are made at moderation, however the chat is externally hosted and not owned or operated by TPPC. If you have concerns about content, consider visiting the Trainer's Corner instead.

Betting

Betting was removed from TPPC as it frequently lead to conflict amongst players. It is now a bannable offence. There is no longer a #betting channel on the Discord. In the past, users had to be verified by a Moderator to bet and would type !awesome or !a to get a random awesome rating out of 101. The player with the highest score would win. Users than ran from bets were added to the Wall of Shame and stripped of bet privileges and/or banned where deemed necessary.
