Now that we are well into the New Year and so far the world hasn't blown up yet, we've opened an official Ashes of Phoenix public Discord server so we can be like all of the other cool kid developers with their newfangled apps and "community input," whatever the heck that is.
We have a lot of new and exciting ideas brewing and already completed, and we look forward to abusing you with SHARING them with you SOON™.
We'll still be using the IRC of course, but for everyone who already has discord open anyway or wants to stop living in the 90s, the option is there.

Anyway see you soon on that ugly, not user friendly, lagging, beep-boping application.

Before any of you join this discord channel, heed my warning!
Right now the channel has no rules and the roles are poorly managed.
This entails following things that i have experience: homosexual references with GIFs and videos being posted without any censorship, spreading of nazism ideology and other anti racial ideologies, very profane language.
I and probably you dear reader wouldn't mind those things if it was so only once in a while, but those actions are repeated on hourly basis and sometimes go on for hours.

This is just a warning, you will most likely not listen to it and that is fine with me. If you will dislike what you see in the channel, know that i have done a job of warning others for you.

In other words, its exactly the same as forum but better.

Also

The rules are fairly simple:
1. be cool
2.
3. Never trust John Porno

I am just curious about the roles being poorly managed bit. For the most part they are in direct relation to their roles on the forums. Only moderators and devs have the power to actually moderate users if that is what you are complaining about.
Homosexual references aren't against the rules even a little bit as this is not Russia or Syria, however personally I'd prefer there not be any porn or gore posted, which I will delete if I see it (these violate rule 1.) There is only one moderator currently as there aren't many mods on the forums either.
The nature of the FOnline community is that it is in many ways toxic and crude due to lack of moderation over many years, it would be out of character to suddenly go SUPER STRICT when few rules are enforced elsewhere. Personally, I'm not at all a fan of rampant racism or promoting fringe philosophies for their "shock" or "edge" value, but telling a FOnline player not to do those things is like telling a monkey not to eat a banana.

FOnline communities are not "safe spaces." As all things though there are still limits, of course.
That's why erryone just gotta be cool, yo.

We build the pool, you can fill it with whatever you want and swim in it.

The problem of our times is that this has to be said in the first place.

hellmai clearly knows the state of the fonline community and is merely using any opportunity to fling shit at the devs and we all took the bait

Well I've gotten similar comments from other people who weren't trolling, so I figured it was worth saying anyway.

...

The problem with the roles was that there are too many of them. That in itself would have just made a problem of too many colours on the right side, however... the settings are that of people being sorted by the roles. That makes a lot of mess, while it may not be all that hard to find a person in such mess, it is a mess none the less.

This was what someone else pointed out to me and i agree with that.

There are five roles and only two of them are separated because the others simply have no reason to be separated. I'm genuinely not even sure what you're talking about, have you been on other discord servers?

You can spam with "reaction" to any message. I now stand on "Permissions are poorly managed".
Do NOT join the official AoP discord until moderators fix those spam problems.

As the following image shows you good people of wasteland
(http://i.imgur.com/3981ibr.jpg)
You can still upload and spam videos on the main discord channel.
What this entails i will leave up to your imagination, but let me tell you this... eye hurting videos are real.
