CollabVM Discord

The CollabVM Discord (or CVMDSC for short) is the central place to talk about CollabVM and CollabVM accessories. It has had a long and turbulent history, but in it's current state it's public and can be joined through the link on the CollabVM homepage.

After joining, you'll need to verify, which you can do so by clicking the button in #verification and following the instructions in your ticket. Keep in mind that you have to say your age and your CollabVM username (if applicable), or else you get kicked from the server.

History
It was first created by Novella in September 2016, but was later transferred to Dartz and made official.

In the near-end of December 2018 due to eDrama™, the Discord Server officially closed down, and you could only enter with a private invite.

The server remained fairly small, being less than 100 members.

In mid December 2019, the server reopened, until on September 24th 2020, it was terminated for hacking and the CollabVM Discord 2 was created, which went public and people started joining it left and right. You can join the server by going to CollabVM and then clicking the Discord link on the navbar. On October 2020, a verification system was devised to keep people who don't comply with Rule #4 and other various undesirable entities out of the server. This verification system consisted of a single channel with no privacy. It was very easy to lose track of things, and it was prone to constant shitposting until in 2023, the old verification system was decommissioned and replaced with a new, better verification system based on a ticket bot.

Currently there are almost over 800 members in the server.

Moderation
The Discord is moderated by a staff team which consists of the following people:

Admins:


 * Dartz (the one and only)
 * Technoturnovers
 * CHOCOLATEMAN
 * ecovector3
 * modeco80
 * Elijah

Moderators:


 * mv
 * MDMCK10

Admins have access to the Admin Panel and the exclusive admin channels, while moderators can log into the VMs as mods and have access to the moderator channel. Since Dartz is never online and only comes on once every blue moon, all of the decisions and moderation are done in a very anarchy-like manner by general consensus. Essentially, if everyone hates you, you get b&. And oh, you will never be admin. Ever.

Channels
This is all of the (publicly available to verified users) channels in the CollabVM Discord server.

Landing

 * #announcements
 * For when an admin wants to ping for no reason about some dumb shit


 * #rules
 * The imaginary and unenforced rules of the Discord. Has more than 4 rules!


 * #joins

 * #verification
 * This channel is only viewable for non-verified members, it contains a button to open a ticket and some verification instructions


 * #how-to-verify
 * A specific channel only viewable to non-verified members that intends to guide one on how to properly get verified, that rarely gets read. This channel is pretty redundant since all the instructions are now in the new verification channel.


 * #updates-of-the-hub-of-git
 * Where the GitHub webhook for any and all commits and specific actions to  (and forks of it, most notably yellows111's) and other official Computernewb repositories (previously did Gitea)

 * #support
 * The main support channel for CollabVM related help such as getting a UserVM up and running and on the UserVM page, finding the proper libraries to help with compiling collab-vm-server for their Linux distro, programming a CollabVM mock server or bot, compiling collab-vm-server without incident, compiling an older version of collab-vm-server without being harassed into compiling a newer version, configuring a CollabNet-style VM network, or configuring Whitelister to work with your VM network. You will almost never find anyone who actually gets their problem fixed or anything done.

Infraction Roles
There are exactly 3 infraction (warning) roles in total:


 *  W1
 *  W2
 *  W3

After you have all of the infraction roles, you will end up getting a specific punishment. Usually, you'll get unverified or kicked, or banned if you've been really bad. You can sometimes get a second chance if you appeal, but depending on what you did, who you are, the mood of the moderation team it may not work out well for you.

If you obtain W3, you lose your embed, reaction and external emote permissions. This does not happen for any other infraction role.

There exist infraction roles that can ban you from talking in certain channels, like these ones. The descriptions for these roles correspond to the channel it is supposed to hide from whoever has the role. In reality these don't work anymore and aren't given out


 *  cant fucking program
 * #development


 *  .txt Gagged
 * #collabvm-txt


 *  Upload/Embed Gagged
 * None, it is a permission ban
