Just to bring this up to everyones attention, i have added a DiscordIntegrator sidebar that allows anyone to get on our FC/OC Discord Chat. This was done in order to make things more "convenient" for anyone that would like to join our chat.

However much like internal wikia chats, this brings in potential trouble in the form of unwanted users coming in like raid attacks or something of the like. So far we seem to have like a couple or just one, and for those that are always aware of stupid stuff like this, i'm sure you know what i mean by this so i will not get into it further.

Now a user we have here had informed me of a recent problem, which i (albeit in the middle of the morning but it's not that big of a deal often than not for me so whatever) had to take care of. Of today no less (although by the time any of y'all read this, it would far past it so just for reference, this was done at like since past 2:35 AM in the morning of Sat).

I had to go ban the trouble off from the server but i have no idea if it's permanent or not. Other things i have done was to make it that instant invites are no longer a thing...at least, that's how i assumed to have set it as i haven't really looked at the features of a discord server that much until recently. Some more others, like verification, seems to be a tougher thing to get around like say "have a verified email" to as high as "got to have a confirmed phone link" shit whatever. Complicated but try to look it up.

The point i want to make here is we may have more troubles like this so i want to ask those who are familiar with Discord and how it works if they know what i could do, or more so what WE can do, in order to get the least amount of troubles such as this as possible. Like what kind of requirements could we set in order to make things harder for raiders/trollers/unwanted users of trouble to not get in easily for example?

Also to those that have rights in the server such as kicking and banning, of which i assume is of me (of course) and the active admins, you all can simply ban someone like in wikia chat: Right click on a users name, go to ban (not block as i found out that it simply makes you just not see that users msgs anymore on a server but everyone else can), and just ban them. You can put up a reasoning as well just like wikia chats but it also apparently gives you the option to delete messages from up to a week or you could just not at all. Either way, all of those like me that can do this keep this in mind for when i'm not on there (which is like 90% of the time due to me just PM'ing in private so...).

Last part aside, again does anyone very familiar with Discord and its server features have any ideas as to how we can effectively deal with this kind of problem?
