As some of you may have noticed, our forums have gained a new little feature: Connected Accounts. This feature gives us (and you!) two main benefits. First, if you are logged into Discord via the web, you remain logged in to our forums. Second, the Swakistek Discord bot is now aware of your forum account, and will make sure that your Discord roles stay instantaneously up to date. No more begging in #admin_requests_only for your masking, as we have robots to do it for us!
With this update, the Administrative Team will be heavily depending on Discord integration to keep Discord masking current. We will no longer be issuing Discord roles for forum-managed groups. Everyone will need to connect their Discord account to their Forum account so that this management can be handled by robots, as it should. In case you're wondering, here's a list of the Discord roles which are managed by the bot:
Discord-only roles (Lobby Helper, Stage Manager, etc) will remain manually-controlled as they are today.
There is another option that we are currently considering, but would like input from the community. It is possible with this setup to auto-verify users who set up Discord Integration with their forum account. We would retain the current 'Lobby Helper' role to help people connect their accounts, but once that step is complete, new members would automatically be granted access to the server. This is, of course, a less secure method, but one that we think better meets the reality of the NS world that we live in.
