Hello everyone!
As we’ve become more dependent on our Discord Server, it’s become apparent that our current channels aren’t adequate for all of our uses. As such, the moderators and I have decided to expand the number of channels to better suit how we’ve actually been using the server. Below is an updated list of categories and channels along with descriptions of how each should be used. This is by no means final and I expect that the Discord Server will continue to be adapted every few months as we refine the balance of activity between the website proper and this side-chat.
Information
About: This channel offers a brief description of WCF and directs new members toward the roleplay website and resources aimed at new members.
Staff Announcements: This channel is where staff can announce new blog entries, events, or other important information such as activity checks or rule changes. Members cannot post directly on this channel, but can submit announcements to staff members.
Rules: Reinforces the website’s rules as well as chatbox-specific rules, such as posting in the appropriate channel and avoiding spamming.

Frequently Asked Questions: This channel is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for the server and a link to the website’s FAQ Guide.
Chatting
General Chatting: This channel acts as WCF’s main area for out of character chatting. Here, members can talk about whatever’s on their mind from the benefits of ice cream for breakfast to how much EarthClan’s camp looks like Michigan.
Help: In this channel, members can ask any questions that they may have about WCF, from how the aging system works to why SunClan and EclipseClan are at war.
WCF Art: Members can post their WCF-related artwork to this channel. Unless the artist requests for the artwork to stay off of the pages, all artwork posted here will be posted on WCF’s Art Page. Non-WCF artwork should be posted to the main chatting channel.
Posted: Here, members can directly mention members when they post to the website.
Planning
Short-Term Planning: This channel is for finding roleplay partners or otherwise setting up scenes that don’t have consequences for the overall plot.
Plot Announcements: This channel is for announcing plot events such as skirmishes, clan meetings, the start of gatherings, battles, or anything else that is relevant to the website-wide plot. Replies are not allowed on this channel and should instead be posted to the Plot Planning Channel.

Guest Advertisements: Here, guests or visitors can advertise other roleplays, social media accounts such as DeviantArt or Instagram, or just about anything else that is appropriate for all ages.
