This page documents policies for the Just Dance Wiki Discord.

The Just Dance Wiki Discord is available via this link; LINK-HERE

Verification
The server is only for Just Dance Wiki users. Users who haven't provided verification, will only be able to post on #verification. They are permitted to view a select few channels, such as #rules.

Once verified, users on the server will have their nickname changed to their Wikia name.

If a user wishes to be known by an alternative name, they can request staff to alter their nickname to be formatted as "WikiaName (PreferredName)". However, this can be done only once every 3 months.

Every week non-verified users are pruned from the Discord. This is only done to prevent a clutter of unverified accounts.

If a Chat Mod+ is not on (or not responding) the Discord when you join, it's recommended you leave a message on their Wikia Message Wall (do not leave them a PM on Discord) with your Discord ID. Once they reply, they'll verify you.

A user can be re-verified, however they can only be re-verified 2 times a year.

If when verified a user already was using their Wikia username, they are to be given the Nameshifter role. Chat Mods+ will routinely monitor these users for any changes.

General

 * No linking to other discords.
 * No linking to sites not on the links page.
 * No posting artwork you don't own, wasn't made for you, or you don't have permission to use/post.
 * Users under the age of 13 will be banned from the Discord until they reach 13.
 * Being under 13 is against both Wikia's and Discord's rules, and we offer no protection from people reporting you for being under 13.

Music

 * To listen to music, please join the music-listen channel.
 * If no one is in the channel and Dyno is not there, please ask any staff to start the music.
 * Please only use the channel to only talk about music. All other conversations should go to other channels such as #general.
 * You can suggest songs here, but the Events Committee must approve of it to be added to the playlist, but will be removed in 1 day.

Link Approval
To help prevent abuse, scams, malware, and the like, posting links (even Discord invites) that have not been approved is not allowed.

All staff members, even the Intern, have the right to approve a link. To request a link's approval, you have to post it on #link_approval.

Once requested, a staff member will look at it. If it's to a download, the staff member is to scan it with VirusTotal. If the file comes back clean, then the staff member can approve it.

Moderation
Moderation of the Discord server is carried out by Chat Mods, Discussion Mods, and up. Some additional support is provided by other staff.

The abilities of other ranks will be limited to the following;
 * All ranks can approve links. (including Intern)
 * Chat Mods, Discussion Mods, and up can revoke a link's approval.
 * All ranks can start music playlists. (including Intern)
 * Only Chat Mods, Discussion Mods, and up can alter the music.

Other
This section details policies that do not fit elsewhere.

Former Staff
Former staff get a "Former Staff" role. This role grants no additional benefits.

Role Colors
The Head of each rank is given the right to change their rank's color at any point, provided it had not been changed by the same Head within a 2 month period.

The Intern's color cannot be changed by the Intern, but the COTP can vote to change the color during the 2nd meeting of the month if it is proposed.
