The Future of the Discord Server

 Hey Nightmarian Crew!

So in this update, I wanted to talk more about what the future of the Discord server is going to look like. I'm going to explain things in sections, so strap in and let's get started!

Please also note that these changes will take some time, so some things will be moved around here and there! There are going to be certain categories for certain roles as well, to make things more inclusive to those in the server as we continue to grow the community!

Rules

The rules are going to be updated. Some of them are going to be the same. As a refresh on what rules are currently, they are the following:

1. Don't be a dick. At least, don't be the kind of dick that causes problems.
2. Please be respectful of one another. You are allowed to speak your opinions, and there's room for healthy debates only. Let's try to make friends.
3. No talks of politics, real life events (you know, the news you see on TV that kind of stuff), or Religion. Some people aren't comfortable with discussions of these topics.
4. There is ZERO TOLERANCE for harassment. If there is someone making you uncomfortable in this server, please notify me or one of the main crew immediately.
5. No Trauma or Drama. Leave it off the ship. Any disrespect to anyone in my community is an immediate disrespect to me. The moment that disrespect happens whether here or on stream, will lead to straight blacklisting with no second chances.
6. No boundary pushing. When someone says stop, you stop.
7. Please follow Discord ToS. (This should be a given).
8. If I am unavailable, please refer to the Main Crew for any questions that you may have. If I am also unavailable for a duration of time, Pixel will be in charge of the server on my behalf. Do not disrespect any of these people. (See rule 5)
9. Please do not spam massive walls of text in the chat. As much as I love novels, others may not as much.

The following rules are going to stay the same: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9.

The following rules will be updated: 5 and 8.

Some of the new rules being added (as well as edited rules) will be as follows:

• Please do not ask for specific roles. The Main Crew and I will decide them for you. There will be a roles channel where you can react for certain things, but special roles are granted by us, final say being by me.
• If you're going to vent, please make sure you're in the appropriate channel for it. Also if your venting has triggers, please ensure that there is a spoiler to cover it as to keep the community safe. The one thing you CANNOT vent about is if it has to do with a specific person.
• NO DRAMA. Leave it off the ship. Resolve things in private if you have a problem with someone, but do not drag your dirty laundry into this server! This will lead to warnings, before leading to a ban!
• DO NOT disrespect anybody here in this server! The moment that disrespect happens whether on here or on stream will lead straight to blacklisting with NO second chances!
• If I am away, the Main Crew along with Pandy is in charge. Announcements will be made by them if I am unable to myself.

I am also going to be adding some rules when it comes to wanting art with my OC. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask me via DM. There may be additional rules that will be added, but for now, these are the ones that will be currently.

Roles

There are going to be some new roles that will be added, and all the ones that are currently there will stay the same. The following roles will now be added:

NEW NSFW ROLE: Seductive Scallywags
That's right! It's finally happening! This role should be self explanatory. This particular role is for 18+ PEOPLE ONLY. There are going to be various categories that you will be able to post in, so I hope you all are ready to head below deck for a good time! My Main Crew will ask for confirmation when it comes to this particular role, so we ask that you are HONEST about your age when wanting this NSFW role!
VIP members please note!: Your nsfw forum will be staying the same! Inner Circle members will also have a nsfw to share with JUST those in the inner circle able to see it!

NEW ARTIST ROLE: Pirate Painters

Anyone who is an artist will be given this role here! Artists will have their own little hub category to show off their work, promo themselves, and make connections when it comes to commissions!

In addition, I will be adding a bot for some of the roles to make things a little bit easier for some of you guys as well, and will most likely have it as a way for you guys to react to the rules. There may be more roles that will be added in the future, but for now, these two are the main roles that will be adding to the bunch that I have.

New Channels and Categories

New channels will be added into the server as well as new categories. What they will be, well, you will have to find out when I do make them! Just know that there is a lot of fun stuff ahead in regards to making the community more inclusive, so just pay attention to the ship directory for more information as the discord server goes under some reconstruction!

Please note that these changes will take some time, but I look forward to sharing these changes with all of you guys! I hope we can continue to create an amazing and inclusive environment for all and please continue to enjoy your time on the ship!
