Useful Stuff Discord

Useful Stuff Discord 3/3



You can pin (tag) messages to the top of the server. so important stuff isn't missed.






















We can advertise on the discord server channel for members or not, and we
can vet people as stringently or as loosely as you feel appropriate.













Makes it easy to communicate with the whole club, you just need to post, other
people can log on later, see you comment and comment back.

Great for arranging games or asking for people to bring along stuff. Also if you
can't make it  you can leave a message here and people can load the app to their
phone and read updates






You can post pics of stuff you have done, or want to sell, links to website's
that you think other club members might be interested in.





Want to run a campaign and have a private room that only access is given to
your allies. Updated maps and hidden movement can all be arranged.

Best of all is the flexibility to delete and add anything you want.

Setting up on Discord


SETTING UP DISCORD 2/3
(NWS PERTH)

Firstly you have to join discord which can be found easily with a search.



Secondly, you have a choice. You can run everything off  discords server which is very safe or you can download the app. Personally I've used both and haven't had issues with the basic server option. You will need a name , In my example "Brendan68" but anything will do.
There is also a "bot" check box that needs to be ticked.























Thirdly Discord thinks you want to create your own server, to bypass this you just click the "X" in the top corner.

It will then ask for a email address, if you forget your log in details you can reset via your email.

Last box is just a confirmation.




































Once you get on Discord you need find the clubs server and you start in the top left corner by clicking the circle with the green plus sign in it.






































Introduction to Discord

DISCORD INTRODUCTION 1/3
(NWS PERTH)

Post Covid 19, having somewhere where a club can gather, chat, discuss topic's, post pics, check club information, run campaigns, organize games might catch on.

When your on the computer you can minimize Discord and if someone posts a message it shows on your Taskbar. You can read, post a return comment if you wish and minimize discord again.









Having been on discord for a while the difference between discord  and other platforms is its gatekeeper provisions. You want people to easy access while barring undesirables.

You can give members "Roles". These are like keys to doors. Someone logging in for the first time might be able to access a room, "channel" that they can read and post comments.

Once a moderator has checked and verified that the new member is know by another verified member other roles can be assigned that give deeper access.

Keeping things simple I've divided the server into four area's the first area "Wolfs Lair" has
"checkpoint Charlie", a vetting area for new members.
"tavern", general discussion area.
"meeting-hall", area for club announcements

Second area, "Grassy Knoll Depository" is basically a library
 "gallery" for pics
"links" to reference websites

 Third area, "echo chamber" are voice channels (I generally don't use these but they are available)
"voice channel one"
"voice channel two"

Fourth area, private rooms where if you want to have campaigns your faction can have its own room.






































Other "Rooms / channels" can be open or closed as needed, other possibilities
"designated painting channel"
"specific period rooms"
"swap meet room"
"specific room for organizing games"
"possibly other channels for other clubs to run independently" or sister sites we could be guests at"

It's all very flexible. What you want can be arranged, what you don't can easily be deleted. Starting small with just the club and a few guests. People who have either  left the club , moved interstate or are associates with interests in the hobby could bolster numbers. Likewise many younger enthusiasts
may have a way of being introduced into the club.
