Good. Loving the community discord. Its filled with great people. Shame theres the odd few that join for more troll puroses

Unfortunately there's always room for a few bad eggs in a public space, but I didn't know what to expect from the community we were going to receive in this server. I have been pleasantly surprised by the vast majority, though.

#

You all are great. blobgrin

echo pawn
#

Thanks! :) and im impressed by how many joined

sterile arrow
#

Thank you!!!

#

It's the mods who keep the server safe and healthy so ty to you guys <3

Yeah! We have almost 10k members. I bet that number will get even bigger with release.

Working in game PR must be pretty amazing

Yh id love to hear info from mods on what its like

You guys made a stable server that has 10000 man, while we are just having fun, you guys are checking all that messages. All of us should be very appreciative what you guys do for us

Moderation work has made me super interested in community work in the game industry, I can say that. slight_smile

There's some lows to it, but I think the good people like you all make it worth it to be in the position I am. It reminds me why I like to be someone that can help. @silver latch

#

@echo pawn I have not! Unless you count developers that I admired.

echo pawn
#

Must have been nice tho!

true cedar
#

It's pretty cool! Getting to talk to them on a personal level kind of breaks the barrier created by being a player that looks at developers on a very distanced, non-personal level.

#

Kind of gives a newfound respect for them.

echo pawn
#

What do you modders do for a living outside of discord? It must be hard having to keep up with it all

true cedar
#

We have a decently sized team that are in different states, countries, and all work different kinds of jobs. I know a handful that are in tech fields, and others in much different jobs. Moderating is very much something we do in our free time or whenever we have our phones available. tongue_out_closed_eyes

#

That tends to be why pings are super important for us, because we might be too busy to watch constantly but a tag on our devices will let us know it's important.

humble sequoia
#

Hahaha, is the conflict resolution side of it a bit harder as your representing a company as opposed to a community?

#

F my english today

true cedar
#

I think it can be! I only joined the team last year, and it took me some time walking on eggshells to understand how to handle myself knowing that I can reflect back on the company (even not as an employee). A little common sense and help from an awesome team goes a long way, though.

humble sequoia
#

Do love some mentorship~

torpid smelt
#

Pings are so so important for an effective mod team. I dislike it when people discourage them because it makes people walk around on eggshells whenever there is an issue in chat

#

especially for a team like this, where you're moderating several servers at once

humble sequoia
#

Oh definitely, I love pings

true cedar
#

I agree. We aren't going to punish people for using it unless they are intentionally trying to abuse the role, which seems to be a common misunderstanding with people.

"Discord Mod Academy" should be getting new updates soon (unless I missed them), so that'll be interesting.

true cedar
#

Oh I saw the announcement for that! I'm actually really excited to see that come to fruition.

torpid smelt
#

discord mod academy?

humble sequoia
#

Discord is a surprisingly effective form of PR - I dont use many social medias apart from maybe Twitter for games so having game servers on a platform I use so often is amazing

and mod academy?

sterile arrow
#

I would like to join that academy

silver latch
#

Yes, it was announced in their blog post a few months ago

humble sequoia
#

Wh- Poik are we bad mods lol

undone valley
#

What does a discord mod academy entail?

torpid smelt
#

maybe lmao

echo pawn
#

I think our mods do a great job with managing

silver latch
#

It was announced in a blog post titled "discord is for your communities" but I can't link it here due to perms

torpid smelt
humble sequoia
#

Ahh - I see those server analytics

obsidian grail
#

tbh I really like the mod team here, they are friendly, approachable and participate in the community

humble sequoia
#

I do love analytics and spreadsheets - pretty sure thats all im useful for haha

true cedar
#

Yeah, I love that they'll be making a space to learn from each other and connect with other mods. It might be a great way for teams to expand their rosters, too.

#

Thank you Vari! A huge part of us participating as much as we do is feeling welcomed by the community, too. slight_smile

#

(also I'm super stoked for an HP game)

sterile arrow
#

Discord is getting better and better every sec

humble sequoia
#

Mmm, honestly Discord has turned into an amazing piece of social media

obsidian grail
true cedar
#

Actually, now that we're in fall, we should hear more about that mod academy soon.

sterile arrow
#

It all started getting better when they made a dark theme

silver latch
#

Yes, they made a good choice to appeal to 'communities' and not just 'gamers'

true cedar
#

It has, I love seeing them improve on it.

obsidian grail
#

i'm excited for the bot api update

humble sequoia
#

Hahaha - bot api update is gonna be hella interesting

sterile arrow
#

Have you guys seen that if you want to make a server on pc that you can now make a study place

silver latch
#

Is that the server templates thing or something else?

obsidian grail
#

yeah that's what I think

sterile arrow
#

If you just click on + and then create

#

You will see that

obsidian grail
#

yeah those are just templates with ready made channels and stuff

humble sequoia
#

and more mentoring is never a bad thing - I have areas Im absolutely awful with. In my own experience, I work best behind the scenes as opposed to at the forefront of a team. Would be nice to try that transition and be more involved with the server rather than the backend of the process

true cedar
#

I didn't notice that, Poekie. it's really cool that they're putting the ideas out there to show how expansive servers can be.

sterile arrow
#

Yep

humble sequoia
#

Oh wow Poekie

#

The templates look decent as well - I love the discord team

#

Theyre all super lovely people as well

sterile arrow
#

Same

autumn wigeon
#

When I moderated, I tended to be the arbitrator within the mod team in addition to backend. I'd process everything technical but whenever it came to questionable lines that the mod team couldn't decide on, I tended to make a decision or compromise that people fell in line with - and I wasn't even the admin.

It was a nice feeling, honestly.

sterile arrow
#

Maybe you could create your own server, get some staff and build your own community if you like that

humble sequoia
#

Hahaha, I manage the spreadsheets, and am pinged if theres an issue at this point. Not so much at the forefront of things, but I'm also not an actual mod, but play another role

true cedar
#

Do you guys work in fanmade/community servers?

humble sequoia
#

7 months ago I never thought I would say I was an investigator for a discord server loll

sterile arrow
#

I am just the template creator and the chatter with the people and thats all I am good at as discord admin

humble sequoia
#

Oh yeah, Im on the official AC server - 500k people is wayyy too many haha

#

Nice

I havent been in a social mood the past few days, but I keep reading through the chat to stay somewhat updated with you peoples and I have to say I adore you all

quartz jetty
#

finally getting the hunger games book

torpid smelt
#

you're an actual mod, Swift haha. You manage a part of moderating that most people hesitate to do so - on r/pokemon we straight up tell people trade/raid at your own risk, we aren't responsible

true cedar
#

Oh geez! That sounds intense. The largest servers I moderate are ranging from 35-45k members. That's a HUGE jump up, no wonder you guys need all that backend work.

sterile arrow
#

The most people I had was 50 šŸ˜…

undone valley
#

I dont have any background with moderating discords, but I've always been moderating on twitch streams as well as officer etc in wow. Normally end up taking an administrative role in stuff I do as I really enjoy organizing and such. Currently trying to build a community around the esports team I manage, but thats a bit difficult

humble sequoia
#

Aww Mari, love you <3

and haha, there is the mod team and then the investigation team, two separate branches. Im one of the heads of the investigation, but I see what the mods do and gosh am I appreciative of all that work. That many people is a lot of work.

Equally, smaller servers have the same issues as there are less mods that are able to be around 24/7 etc. Mods of any server size are amazing

torpid smelt
#

How many mods does the AC server have?

humble sequoia
#

uh I would say around 50-60 staff members

true cedar
#

Good luck with that, Marianne! That sounds exciting. I have had the opportunity to dip my feet into Twitch moderation thanks to one company I moderate for. It's very hectic and fast-paced, but I think that is something I found enjoyable about it. I hope to get more opportunities with them to delve into it more.

humble sequoia

Most are available every day for more than a few hours

@humble sequoia

Spreadsheets was pretty much what I did! Also configured permissions at times. That's pretty cool though.

Do you guys work in fanmade/community servers?
@true cedar

Fanmade, but not anything above 10k. It was something I did in my free time - generally for community-based games. I had some offers to moderate larger servers from game-makers and owners but it was always 'volunteer' and not paid. I take a poor view of for-profit owners/businesses asking for people to volunteer their time without benefit in a way that indirectly brings more revenue.

true cedar
#

@humble sequoia That's really fascinating to me! I didn't know teams got that extensive for some servers. I guess it really varies from place to place.

undone valley
#

@true cedar I absolutely love it. Unfortunately I've distanced myself a bit from the norwegian community now as its a bit toxic. The norwegian community is also not as fast paced usually since its smaller, but then there are often more issues with drama and conflicts etc you have to deal with

torpid smelt
#

tbh we need a lot more, we struggle a lot outside of US/EU hours

true cedar
#

Bye Poekie!

torpid smelt
#

See you Poekie!

humble sequoia
#

Oh definitely, we have at least a handful of mods for every timezone possible. Its a very amazing setup, and the server owner and admins are very amazing

true cedar
#

@autumn wigeon I can respect that! I don't see a lot of moderator work that comes into the paid realm. I'm fine with my work not getting paid - it doesn't stop me from wanting to put more and more into it - but I can completely understand why that's not everyone's path of choice.

humble sequoia
#

Tbh, volunteer work has always struck with me more, and I spend more time than a normal person should on Discord anyway.

Hence why I spend so much time here

torpid smelt
#

I'd love to be paid for moderating lmao, but that's a long shot dream

humble sequoia
#

If im honest, I would LOVE to work in PR - either PR or HR or management. Give me all the people and social media management

autumn wigeon
#

It's a supply and demand problem, but if others are willing to do it - good on them. I appreciate them regardless.

undone valley
#

Yeah I'm community manager and league of legends manager, and thats currently as a volunteer as well

autumn wigeon
#

I've never really been a PR person. I prefer technical tasks, it's more straightforward to me. It starts to feel fake/forced if I try to amp people up or similar.

undone valley
#

But I completely agree with you though Roost. Paying people for doing tasks such as moderating and other administrative tasks is a good investment in the long run. People should be paid

autumn wigeon
#

I do hope in the future that there's more benefits for those who moderate and contribute, asides from prestige.

humble sequoia
#

I am a non stop chatterbox so discord is perfect for me. And ehhh, Discord is nearly all volunteer mods. I know of no servers who do paid, so thats become my norm

autumn wigeon
#

I do agree it's pretty widespread that moderator work is free, which is a shame.

undone valley
#

As the market grows it def will be more lucrative

autumn wigeon
#

I see it more so that there's a lot of people who want to be a moderator but not a lot of servers that need as many moderators. It's not going to go away anytime soon - at most, it'll be the people who admin or make the bots.

true cedar
#

Perhaps with the growth of Discord and creating systems that build up moderators to a new level, we could start seeing a push towards it being more of a "job" than volunteer work.

undone valley
#

Just looking at streamers in Norway RN compared to two years ago. A lot of streamers are actually earning above average compared to "normal" workers. Two years a go that was incredibly rare

autumn wigeon
#

Yeah, but streamers are more socially oriented - like movie stars. Doesn't mean that the sound guy gets paid more (and there's a lot of people trying to get into that industry, so it's barely breaking even).

#

It's good that streamers can self-provide like this though!

undone valley
#

Nah I just think as the market for that grows so does the need for staff and also proper compensation for their work. The only problem with using streams as an example is that mods tend to be a popularity contest aswell in my experience. So your reward for actual works = social status in the community, which feels rewarding

true cedar
#

I'm really enjoying this conversation but I'm popping away for some food. Be back in a bit. šŸ’™

humble sequoia
#

Have a good one Ara!

undone valley
#

see you later Aramet!

autumn wigeon
#

Yeah, and social status is what people tend to desire. Thus the great supply of people willing to be moderators - and reduced need to pay people to moderate.

#

I don't think that's going to change, honestly, without some major shifts.

humble sequoia
#

And I honestly think that social status was the last thing I wanted when I applied for investigator - its not a terribly forefront position. I much more enjoy the feeling I get from volunteering, and being able to help a community I love

undone valley
#

I think it will eventually, but obviously not over night

autumn wigeon
#

There are always other reasons to volunteer. That's the reason why I volunteered for the community-based games I did - just to contribute and I felt good about it. I'm a background guy so social status matters little to me.

humble sequoia
#

Mmm

undone valley
#

Me too, haha. I really don't like being the center of attention

humble sequoia
#

Obviously i can go ha im head staff for blah blah server which is satisfying, but also

torpid smelt

Swift is 100% a secret slytherin, it's exposed if you play among us with her

autumn wigeon
#

I'm actually deaf irl, but I was raised to speak and lipread - never was taught ASL. However, it's such a pain for most people to make sure I can lipread them or repeat what they say or otherwise make sure I can keep up with the convo - groups are my bane in particular. So Online is where I go to understand and chat with people.

I hope you dont mind me asking, but a friend of mine is deaf and masks have really limited her, and Im the only person I know with a clear mask

Is it hard to be out and about with masks everywhere?

Weird combo of gryffindor and raven so I see that

torpid smelt
#

@glacial sedge We don't! All the information we know is in #šŸ‘‰faq

glacial sedge
#

for all we know they could release it in 2021 december

undone valley
#

If I was the head of a new game based on a huge franchise, I would release it before christmas

autumn wigeon
#

Is it hard to be out and about with masks everywhere?
@humble sequoia

Yes. The main issue isn't even that I can't lipread, although that's obviously a problem. The issue for me is that the moment I speak and say that I'm deaf and need to lipread to understand people's speech (to cashiers, etc) - then they don't process that I'm deaf and need to lipread. They speak louder, repeat themselves, do weird gestures, etc.

So now I don't speak at all and just type everything out on a phone and show them. That does the trick.

fair crypt
#

I pray WB will be kind and release sooner

glacial sedge

I pray they release it early and it has a multiplayer option

#

that would be a dream

undone valley
#

@glacial sedge Maybe! They have announced it to be single player though, but who knows

humble sequoia

Ahh, I see Roost :(( I think clear masks should be mandatory in shops tbh, it protects everyone involved, and there are some really good ones out there

glacial sedge
#

ik but who knows they might change it @undone valley

calm grove
#

I hope we can use black magic in the game what do u think

autumn wigeon
#

Yeah they really do help. I've only seen them online, never in person. Ironically, though, when I type things out on a phone - people remove masks (i stay a distance away and keep my mask on) and ask if I can lipread. I nod.

Whack.

@autumn wigeon I’m taking sign language in Jan!

I think if they havent implementet something allready, they're not going to do so this close to release. Maybe they'll release a DLC with some online features if its successfull enough

humble sequoia

Ah, probably some weird psychology there haha - I'm glad youve found a way that works for you though. People can be frustrating even if they are trying

torpid smelt

Do you have a link to any clear breathable masks? Because to me a seethrough mask doesn't seem breathable, unless it's one of those plastic shields which aren't particularly effective

autumn wigeon

@autumn wigeon I’m taking sign language in Jan!

ASL is something I'm really interested in. I love the idea of learning a non-verbal language that could potentially be very versatile. It doesn't seem to get enough attention as something important, either.

Definitely Ara. My cousin knows it and she has jobs thrown after her cause its such a high demand for interpreters

@true cedar

I really do wish people had nonverbal ways of communicating as a standard complement to the verbal language we have. It's just so much more convenient to have ways to express everything in two languages (verbal and nonverbal) that closely mirror eachother.

#

Obviously that's a bit too much work to implement easily and there's other goals that should be focused on instead, but it's a pipe dream.

undone valley
#

Yeah she really inspired me to be interested in it as well, but I'm not really in a position atm where I can commit to something like that. Takes a lot of effort

fair crypt

I love the idea behind sign language. I had a friend in my old childhood friend and we would talk through photos and facial expressions. I dunno how to explain but it was intimate. I can’t wait to learn asl

true cedar
#

I totally agree with that, Roost.

#

Aww, that's really sweet, Potterhead. blush

humble sequoia
#

Mmm, my brother was non verbal when he was younger (now I cant shut him up), but there were a lot of body language cues and we used to call it a "secret language" that he used with us

undone valley
#

I dont see why they shouldnt have it in school though tbh. We have mandatory french, spanish or german. Could throw in ASL there aswell ngl

or even start at such an early age that its very easy to pick up on

I think it should become something that students can learn, yeah.

Oops, missed this comment. No worries, I perfectly understand! As I said, I don't hold it against people. It's more so hilarious how predictable people can react in a way that doesn't fall perfectly in line with how one would logically expect.

ASL has actually been demonstrated to improve cognitive ability in young babies - they can sign faster than they can learn to speak - and having a 'visual' language strongly improves teaching abilities to the point that deaf students were outperforming expectations.

If Sign Language wasn't so oppressed and deaf people so marginalized, I can only imagine what society would have turned out to be now.

humble sequoia
#

Oh wow, I didnt know that Roost - thats amazing

#

I didnt think that children's language pattern learning also translated to non-verbal language

Even now, we're recovering from some draconian policies - such as the outright ban of sign language in schools (especially boarding schools)

I’m following a couple where ones deaf on YouTube. It’s interesting to see the discrimination for people who are impaired it’s truly not fair

It's the reason why parts of the deaf culture try to avoid cochlear implants and similar - because with it is a resurgence of Oralism that suppressed them in the decades past. It's an important point many people miss.

How'd surgery go?

i honestly don't rememeber

just a doctor with scissors

lol

humble sequoia

tbh even now boarding schools are pretty... weird, intense, bad at times. The boarding school I grew up near wouldnt let girls have hair shorter than their shoulder blades, and they had to wear skirts. Boys had to have near buzzcuts, and I distinctly remember going on a school visit and everyone looked like... exactly the same. (and were handing 20 pounds notes to someone to buy a cupcake - who spends 20 quid on a homemade cupcake>>>)

#

ie heard they can be rough

fair crypt
#

Haha yeppp. I forgot the name of the couple but it’s interesting to see how they interact. The GF never was the ā€œhandlerā€ and now is cause she’s the bridge to speaking and non speaking world and she choices to sign rather than speak. The obstacles they face is interesting to watch but it’s the eye contact speaks to me. Very honest

undone valley
#

yeah I read about one boarding school with no makeup policy and this girl got expelled for having thick natural brows cause they thought they were fake? lmao

humble sequoia
#

Oh yeah thats a thing haha

#

That also happens at normal schools. Not the expelling but they can be asked to go home and wipe it off before they come in

autumn wigeon

It's pretty sad when you look back and see these patterns of discrimination. Native Americans, for example, even now.

Mmhmm I agree

I remember not being able to afford my school PE kit and being screamed at for wearing liverpool gym shorts lol

yeah in norway that would be hardcore frowned upon if teachers tried to tell you how to look, so that sounds so insanely foreign and weird to me

None the less I’m excited for the asl classes @autumn wigeon all I know how to sign is turtle rn

but im a big fan of "uniforms" as in black pants and maybe a school hoodie to sort out the pressure on clothing. I do think people should wear their hair and makeup as they please though

so the punishment we see in the hp books are legit?

yeah mari, adds personality

That’s funny

Uniforms for british students are black slacks or pleated skirts with a white or blue shirt, tie and a blazer and full black shoes with white or black socks. No makeup, hair tied up

#

or at least it was at my school

undone valley
#

Yea thats the stereotype at least.

fair crypt
#

Hold on what’s wrong with uniforms?

undone valley
#

I'm a big fan of people, and especially youths still growing being allowed to express themselves though. Feels like a huge punishement to be forced not to if thats what you really want to do

Wasnt allowed nail polish or makeup or we would be sent to the bathroom with makeup wipes or nail remover and not allowed to do anything until it came off

Your experience is the same as a lot of british schools, luckily mine wasn't the same, but a lot of schools around me were like that

wild niche
#

sounds pretty bad

torpid smelt
#

But then I'm male so probably didn't see many girls being asked to take off makeup or nail polish

#

I think as long as it wasn't overly gaudy it was allowed

fair crypt
#

Pretty happy that this wasn’t an issue when I went to a uniformed school.

#

Wow the restrictions

humble sequoia
#

Eh, the idea is that if you cant be an individual, you will act more like the collective, There was no people standing out and making trouble if they were the same as everyone else

#

Naturally though, people caused trouble to be an individual when they hated the collective idea

torpid smelt
#

that's definitely a pro for uniforms, but at the same time it also shows who is poor and who isn't, because official uniforms are expensive as hell

#

So a lot of people had cheap, similar looking versions, without the school badge on

wild niche
#

one of mine schools i went to had a no facial rule

torpid smelt
#

I know some people were sent home because their blazer didn't have the school badge on it

undone valley
#

Yeah Its a very different cultural approach than what we have in Norway. Here there's a lot of focus in the individual and being free to do what you want to do, as well as not burdening others (thats an example on why norwegians seem more "rude" to other countries cause we arent as straight forward. We just dont wanna burden peopole)

Yeah - even the PE kits had to be the same. Cant work out in something comfortable, just something school mandated

question for all who read it!!:

what's your Favorite harry potter game before legacy was announced?!?!?!?!

#

Personal one is an old one i don't remember what it was on, ( i think it was on PC)

it was the harry potter and the philosophers stone one moment from that came has stuck with me forever

it was the last trial before the mirror/final boss fight and it was a potion puzzle where you have to keep an eye on the right potion or die of poisoning!!

@limpid iron damn. that was a good part, I liked it so much that later I was surprised when it was not in the movie, I figured it was part of the original story. hahah

#

my favorite HP game is Gmod's Hogwarts RP server

#

it's not official but it is the best one, and by far

#

if you mean from the officials, maybe the chamber of secrets for PS2 (it's not the same as the chamber of secrets for PC, they are different games altogether)

limpid iron
#

i've never been big on Gmod but i've heard it was good and i'll still count it!! and weirdly enough i played that one before the PC version, we had just gotten a PS2 and got it for Christmas

i've heard there were a few different versions depending on your console

humble sequoia
#

Is the gmod server still active?

minor wharf
#

Is the gmod server still active?
@humble sequoia yes, and there's more than one but the main one (SBS) is, of course

#

and as vibrant as ever. usually when I enter it there's like 98 people, lowest i've seen it these days is 60-something

minor wharf
hearty lagoon
#

I've never done GMOD rp
I can't help but feel like, because GMOD, it's wack

minor wharf
#

wack in what sense?

#

gameplay-wise, it's like a completely different game

#

but ye there's a lot of silliness within, some screwing around

#

but tehre is some order too. admins and mods enforce the rules, and prefects also on a lower level, detaining people who don't comply

#

(you have a detention stick with which you send people to jail if they don't follow the teacher's orders or break the rules, like freespelling, etc)

#

and every 10 minutes ther's a different class

#

you learn spells in some, and get homework (to earn XP to increase year) in others

#

some times instead of class there's quidditch, or free time, or a lockdown because dark forces (also players) attack the school (this one is rare)

#

potions (you craft potions with ingredients you buy or some that are rare and you must find around), etc.

#

too tired, gonna fall asleep soon. mostly just all the potions and such. its weird that the knowledge to do things like impersonate people, or cause someone to fall deeply in love with you, is so easily within reach to 11 year olds. not to mention the potions that, if mixed incorrectly (or correctly seeing how you view it) could become a deadly poison indistinguishable to the taker. the house elves like stranger said. the blood purity is an obvious but essential part to the story. a lot of the spells theyre taught are strangely useful basically for defending or attacking another wizard. like really, by the end of it all do we really understand what exactly hogwarts was teaching them to do except defend against dark wizards?
