We have some exciting Discord changes that will be coming your way! As part of that process, we need to make a change that is a shift in our fundamental practices on Discord.

Currently, for moderation purposes (mostly logging text channels), we use bots that were written and maintained by Tech. Discord has changed a lot, and the programming has changed as well. We want to be able to use new Discord features and not lag behind in the future. So we have decided to bring in a 3rd-party bot and discontinue our own.

What does this mean for you? Why are we announcing this?
It means that logs are held offsite with a 3rd-party. This is a fundamental change in our privacy which is why I'm making this announcement. We will be utilizing the MEE6 bot. For more information about this bot, go here.

The addition of this bot is one step in our evolving plan for Discord. More information about that will be coming out in the near future. MEE6 is pretty awesome, and making this change means we can also do things like utilize threads. We can set up reaction role requests. And so much more!

If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please reach out.

Edit: The question was asked on discord if we would have a place for anonymous feedback, so here is a link for that! https://forms.gle/JqnZ3PjBjbTaUWvy7

This is great news, thank you!

When will this take effect?
I’m aiming for early next week. I want to make sure we have time for everyone to be made aware and respond to concerns.

Question: will you be using the base Mee6 bot or a customized Mee6 bot (similar to what is used in the Red Ajah)?

Glad to know that we're going to MEE6! Generally a fan of this bot, and definitely moving forward to more inclusivity.

It would be nice to customize it to toss out series quotes on demand

Thank you everyone for your feedback (in a few forums, on discord, and the feedback form).
