Hello Staffers
So us lot over on IO wanted to get a bit more involved with the off-site content creators as whilst a few members speak to them and we sometimes mention them on our Facebook/Tumblr etc, there's been a bit of a disconnect. As the off-site communities are becoming quite large, we decided to set up what will hopefully be an official lines of communication between the wiki and the creators and as most of the content creators use Discord, we have created a Discord.
Yes, yes I know, boo Discord, it's the devil, burn it however for having discussions with content creators (and considering this is only a small thing) Discord is a better platform to do this on than IRC.
There are also currently no plans to open this up to public (at least not yet) so we can be a bit more relaxed with permissions on the discord but they are currently managed by those under an IO group or wiki admins.
Edit 3 which is here so it is seen:
After discussion in the IO team, we have made the decision that this Discord should only be open to those in Staff who need to use it to prevent it becoming SSSC 2. Staff in IO, CO and Licensing are allowed to join. INT wiki admins are also allowed but only INT admins from the INT team.
Anyone from any other team needs to provide a reason to be on this Discord. If they can provide a specific reason why they need to be on this and what benefit it is to their team, we will discuss it and see if it is a valid reason to join.
If you would like to join, PM me or Roth for the link (we're not gonna be putting it up here cause we'll get flooded with non-staff very quickly) or just say on here you're a hip and cool person so you'd like to join a hip and cool Discord.
Edit: Also if you do decide to join, when you join it would be nice to just introduce yourself a bit so non-staff know who you are and what you do etc.
Edit 2: Also if you are an off-site content creator who we haven't already invited (still in the process of doing so) and you are reading this, PM myself or Blaroth to ask for an invite linking what content it is you create.
