@luffy Hello: I have a question if I may.
Seeing that the Forums are going to be on this new Discord server soon - would we as users have any way, (or be allowed to) *import* (and take with us in some way) any of our content that's on here, to over there?
Things like: our followers/watchers, our PM histories, and probably most importantly for some of us: *our threads* (and the discussions, topics, and histories within them) that we created for ourselves?
Or.... does everything start from scratch all over again, and it's basically a "clean slate" for everything?

I also find it a little odd that FA is infamous for it's copious amounts of pornography but the Discord is going to be SFW only. I also found that strange with the forums as well. It's massively limiting. I understand it but there is a schism there. It's not an insignificant omission.
Though where's the line being drawn on that? Different places have different beliefs of what's inappropriate material.

No fetishized content, no sexualized content, no overly-suggestive content, no NSFW.

Are we moomin, or are we dancer?
This is on the signs when you drive in to Utah, by the way. ;]
The mainsite is their own responsibility, but on xenforo or discord I suppose there's a bigger chance that those companies decide they're not comfortable with it.
I think it avoids a bunch of headaches and that generally the mainsite has better age gating.

It's enough work moderating one giant website filled with art
I can't imagine it being any easier dealing with (for example) CP reports on MULTIPLE platforms.
Plus they'd have to do the thing most people won't agree to, which is screening for proof of age.

Get ready for demands of more granular specifics of all of this because again, there's a looot of different beliefs of what's fetish/overtly sexualized content.

Yeah, that makes sense.

(to be honest I am always amazed there's a thread for 'favourite posteriors' on this sfw forum that is full of actual porn)

I'm glad I wasn't alone on wondering why that cancer thread existed. I just ignored it.
But I just raise the question not to be combative. I'm just trying to actually see what they came up with in those guidelines.
The curt "no fetish" answer is cool, but that didn't really satisfy my question. I have my head on straight so I know what "no NSFW" means.
No Krystal with a 60 inch ass. Ok, that's fine.
How about when VoreLover69 comes in with very eerily detailed closeups of highly detailed mouths? Or when someone starts posting hyper feet? There's a lot of things that to a lot of people doesn't immediately come across as a fetish. Least of all kids. And in a server this big, it can go unreported if it's not curbed at the door.
That's all I'm getting at. I'm not trying to be obtuse.

For a lot of furries, furry stuff itself is their kink anyway, so you know...furry is always going to be a spiked bowl of punch to some degree.
But the furries like it that way.

How about hat content and content related to hats?
On-demand voice channels, yes.

Not to mention, most people would consider ALL furry content to be sexualized fetish content.

Hello: just checking in...... is there an answer on this question if anyone knows?

Question: will any moderator actions taken against people in the new Discord be treated as a violation on our accounts on the main website too? I have already received several threats of being suspended/banned here (without citing a specific part of the CoC, of course) so I want to know where I'd stand on this matter.
Similarly, can moderator action taken against people on Discord be appealed using the website's Trouble Ticket system? (I know mine will be rejected anyway, but at least in theory.)
Finally, will the Discord be a blank slate with regards to reputation, notes and moderator personal opinions of users, or will these be carried over from the current forums?

COC 3.1
And no - however, if you get banned (not suspended, but banned) on main site, you get banned from Discord. And honestly, Raptor, I don't even not like you lol. I am just sick of hearing people complain about third-party issues when the complaints from the affected individual are nowhere to be found. But let's not get that started here.
There is not. They are not compatible, so we can't transfer info.

As you know, I've tried in every possible way to get a straight answer about how I allegedly broke this multifaceted rule, but whatever.
Agreed. If you unlock my other thread, we can discuss matters purely related to the AUP.
[Narrator's voice] Tragically, Luffy never did reopen that thread.

For those who are weary of using Discord, please keep the following in mind:
- You can CTRL+F to search posts within their respective thread/channel. Someone else, or your own. You can even sort the results by newest/oldest.
- Now that I've seen how the forum threads work, there are ways to tell if there has been activity. On the left side of the thread it'll have the word "(New)" to indicate there are new posts.
- The only thing I worry about is that you have to keep posts on-topic, so for threads like predator vs prey, you might need to make an additional lounge for the non-game chat.
- You can completely mute the entire server to avoid those annoying notification sounds, you can also mute channels you are not interested in. All you have to do is right click and select your desired option.
- Even if you have them muted, the channel will have a white dot next to it to indicate there has been activity, so you won't be completely in the dark.
- Hovering over the forum channel shows you the most recent activity in a small window. Kinda like how we have the most recent activity window here! Saves you the extra clicks/scrolling to see if someone replied to your thread!
- When you create a thread, it'll also make a separate er... folder/channel? Basically you don't have to worry about going into the main channel and sift through to find it. You'll always have a direct line to it! If that makes sense..
True! Example:
The server is, by default, no notifications. It'll light up until you mute something to show there's been activity, but no noises or push notifications unless opted in.
lol I didn't even know this.
When you create or reply to a thread, it automatically "follows" that thread, putting it in your main nav list, like below. You can right click and "unfollow" to remove it.
Thanks, Tyra!

Cool, now try finding it from a google search.
