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 its current state, it's public and can be joined through the link on the CollabVM homepage.

After joining, you will need to get verified, 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 of 2016, but was later transferred to Dartz and made official.

In the near-end of December 2018 due to e-drama, 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, and was fairly active. But however, on September 24th 2020, the server got unexpectedly terminated for hacking, and the CollabVM Discord 2 was created, which went public and people started joining it left and right.

On October 31, 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:

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 everyone for no reason about something really important, that will get ignored by a majority of the Discord's userbase. Is sometimes used as a shitposting channel.
#rules
The imaginary and unenforced rules of the Discord. Has more than 4 rules!
#joins
If you want to see what type of people join the Discord, then check that channel out. You're not going to enjoy it. Trust me.
#verification
This channel is only viewable for non-verified members, it contains a button to open a ticket and some verification instructions
#updates-of-the-hub-of-git

#dartboard
A channel dedicated to storing of pinned messages by the Starboard bot
#support
The main support forum 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 without incident, configuring a CollabNet-style VM network, configuring Whitelister to work with your VM network, and more. You will almost never find anyone who actually gets their problem fixed or anything done.

Chatrooms

The public channel. Is widely regarded as a cesspool.

The channel to discuss programming, and other topics related to programming. You can also show off your code here. (And no, Batch, VBS and no-code based programming languages do not count)

#cosmic-sans-simulator

#spam

#public-bots
The (public) bots channel. Waste hours there messing around with the server's premier bot "NotSoBot", making dumb and stupid tags that don't even work half the time, and people will forget about it by the end of the month, or you could even make sophisticated and advanced tags that heavily use JavaScript, and other more nuanced parts of the NotSoBot tag system, which people will also forget about by the end of the month. You can also take advantage of other bots in the server, including but not limited to Assyst, EsmBot, and CollabVM Boundary Fucker, which can do a variety of wonderful and interesting things.

Roles

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, or the mood of the moderation team, it may not always 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.
