Discord Guide
What is Discord?
Discord is a communication platform that is utilised for announcements, discussions and friendly random chatting with fellow HIA members. Discord is widely used by the majority of members in HIA.
What’s allowed and not allowed to be posted on Discord?
Only post content that abides by the Code of Conduct. You are allowed to post safe-for-work images, youtube links, or lightshot captures; however, it has to be appropriate and decent at all times and cannot be of mature, explicit or offensive content. Keep in mind that many Habbo users are younger individuals, so all posts made must be age-appropriate i.e. suitable for 13+ audiences.
Are there any rules in Discord?
Your behaviour on Discord must follow the Code of Conduct, the Discord Policy, and all other HIA policies at all times, however, below are some more specific rules for using Discord.
§1 - Any discussions or topics that are not related to Habbo or HIA may not be discussed in #general or #staff-chat. Conversations regarding anything other than Habbo or HIA are to be discussed in #random, direct messages, and/or private channels that permit it.
§2 - All new members to Discord MUST be verified and assigned their respective roles. Usernames MUST also correlate with their Habbo usernames, this also applies to Investors, Diplomatic Guests or any other permitted guests.
§3 - Polls may be created in channels as long as they are appropriate to the channel (i.e. Only HIA related polls in #general). Polls may not be sent through direct messages unless approval from a Directorate+.
§4 - Social Media usernames, accounts, phone numbers, and other personal contact information is highly advised not to be placed anywhere on your Discord profile. It is at your OWN risk to show personal information, but not on any HIA public channels. Please refer to our Safety Guides for more information.
§5 - You may not use consecutive capital letters in #general, #staff-chat or related private channels, but you are permitted to use them in #random and any other related private channels that permit you to do so. Continued usage of consecutive capital letters after being asked not to may lead to a temporary ban from the server and/or disciplinary action.
§6 - “Shading” - or “calling someone out” - whether indirectly or directly in any public chat is not permitted. If you have a concern over someone or their behaviour, feel free to message them directly or message a Discord Admin. Continuing after being asked not to may lead to a temporary ban from the server and/or disciplinary action depending on the severity.
§7 - Non-HIA related links are not to be posted in public channels (you may share them in DMs if you wish). YouTube Links may be posted in #random. Pictures are to be uploaded directly from your device if being posted in a public channel, and Google Forms/Docs/etc/Typeforms are permitted as long as they cover HIA related topics. If you are sending screenshots of various pictures, it is best to use imgur or lightshot and DM them to someone rather than a public channel. If you are unsure whether the link you wish to share is permitted in a channel, please message a Discord Admin.
§8 - Leaking private information from a Discord channel/DM (special unit, elective, etc) is cause for punishment depending on the severity of the infraction. If the information is meant to be private, keep it that way.
§9 - Gory, horror, sexually suggestive, substance usage/abuse, and/or any media deemed inappropriate or explicit for HIA (including but not limited to pictures, videos, audio, and or text) - that otherwise may be offensive or inappropriate - are not allowed to be displayed in the HIA Discord. Failure to comply will result in a temporary ban from the server along with other appropriate disciplinary consequences.
§10 - As stated above, all rules outlined in the Code of Conduct, Habbo Way, the Discord Guide, other HIA policies and guides are in full effect while chatting on Discord. If you have any serious questions or concerns, please contact a Discord Admin or 1iC+
§11 - When a member has been promoted to a certain rank or added to a specific special unit, the member is required to stay in their respective channels due to it being utilised as a backbone for the rank/special unit. If a member has accidentally left the channel, the member is to be added back into the channel immediately, if a member refuses to stay in his/her respective rank or special unit channel, Possible removal from the special unit can be warranted by discretion of the SU Overseer.
§12 - Suspected hacked Discord Accounts or suspicious Discord accounts may be banned indefinitely by a Directorate+ to ensure the safety of our members.
