Draft Discussion

Amazing! Looks about right and what we all discussed and agreed on Forum:Discord Policy proposal. I would like to request a small addition to the last point of Help:Discord. Rules of the server and other related info like roles, name card roster for staff, etc will be on that page. Basically, this page would serve as an information guide to the server. --  Reverb frost   07:06, September 25, 2020 (UTC)

That makes sense and ties in with the notification requirement of any change to the Discord server rules. I've modified the last point to include that item as well. If that's all, I move it to a vote shortly. Thanks --Ironyak1 (talk) 17:08, September 25, 2020 (UTC)
