I assume you mean channels you haven't already collaborated with, in which case I would recommend Troy Leavitt

Tim would have to create roles with permission to view the message history

Well he did just create the server

@Timcast By the way, it would be helpful for people to easily determine whether or not you're online by setting up the server to display your role separately from other members. You can access that through Server Settings -> Roles

He's an admin by default since he's the server owner

Oh no, apparently Shia LeBouf has raised another flag.

I wonder how long it will be before 4chan finds it this time.

Yes, that's a very good idea. It's how I've got my own server set up - the invite link sends yo to #lobby, but that's the only thing you can see until you're assigned a role.

Yeah, the bot solutions are nice, but they're usually pretty complicated to set up

I'm also partial to the IRC role system of Everyone < Voice < Halfop < Op(erator) < Admin

keeps things simple for roles

None that I'm aware of

What if we find a different gorilla fight video? Are we allowed to post that, or can we *only* repost that one?

Nobody here is anything except for Tim

We're all nothing

Existence is meaningless

Could maybe do Timcasters

dunno, that may be too close to Timcast

could cause confusion

It could also be a portmanteau of pool and hooligan, which is how I read it until you said that

:-/ It's a tad long...

@SmallPrice I think you're assuming honor where there may not be any. Or at least, I know I don't have that much honor.

@Timcast Your server is growing fast enough that you may want to consider creating a role to give to users that you would trust in helping to manage the server and the people on it, especially given how often you typically travel. It would suck to spend X hours on a flight and get to your hotel/hostel, log on to Discord, and find that while you were out, a troll got onto the server and managed to invite a bunch of their troll buddies, but nobody could get rid of them.

There are some bots you could look into getting in here that have automated protections for that as well, though

One of the other servers I'm on only has about 5 moderators for over a thousand users, but it's also a pretty quiet server overall

Yeah, a much better rule than "No hate speech" would be "No speech", because that's purely objective. You can't talk.

:D

But duct tape is silver

Every time I'm granted power on a forum/channel/whatever, the first thing I do is I ban myself

Because if I've got the power to ban people, why not start with the worst offender?

Back when I was in scanlation (on IRC) I was an operator on several channels and I was admin on one, but that was mostly because the group's leader let their channel lapse and I reclaimed it for them

I think the biggest channel I was in back then was 75 people

@WOODY Except for the part where you have to figure out what permissions to give the bot so that it can do everything for you

Yeah, most Discord bots have anti-raid utilities

The bot I use didn't have good documentation around what permissions it needed, so it took me a few days to get everything right

I got one bot set up right. Why would I switch to another bot and go through another potential headache?

Maybe you should make another text channel for general discussion so that the distinction is more apparent

@Kori Tainaka I think <#398973785426100234> is for shitposting

From what I've read, the Cole Memo was a "guidance document" and not an actual law. I don't know if that affects the outcome of its repeal

Well that and the fact that big pharma pushes opioids these days

I'm reading a lot of speculation that the repeal of the Cole Memo may push Congress to fully legalize marijuana

Anyone up for starting the Timcast party? 😋

We can have Tim as our leader

@Timcast What if we democratically elect you as our leader?

@Porcelain chips I'm not sure the Democrat or Republican parties as a whole are self-aware enough to realize that

@GingaBomber I was one of those

Yep

Just because it's a "narrative" doesn't mean it doesn't have some truth to it

Honestly, I think what we need before another alternative party (because technically, the Libertarians *are* an alternative) is term limits and age limits for all political offices

@GingaBomber You find American politics interesting? I prefer satire based on American politics:

The Ephebians believed that every man should have the vote. Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch with the view of the ordinary philosopher in the streets looking for a towel. And then five years later they elected another one just like him, and really it was amazing how intelligent people kept on making the same mistakes.

@Deleted User @WOODY Helping others is something that's heavily emphasized by Christian values, upon which most of Western civilization is built, but the main focus of Christianity's "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is the poor and disabled that are right in front of you, as opposed to the Democrats' "Oh no, these people halfway around the world are so disadvantaged! We must help them!"

@Timcast At this point I'd almost recommend creating a new <#398858182455459853> and renaming this channel

@GingaBomber I think you mean 10 minutes after they join

I don't know if I wasn't able to see anything for 10 minutes or everybody was just silent for >10 minutes when I joined last night

Yeah, that's true

Maybe that was it

Oooh, we could call Tim's followers "The Pool"

At this point, basically

Anarchy with some leadership

No clue

Maybe it's just really small

Squirrel-sized transmission tower

@Kori Tainaka Actually, I think the even worse thing is that they didn't make the mods display separately from all the other users

@Bruce That's still more power than the rest of us have

It also sounds distinctly anti-free speech, which is odd for Tim

Eh, why stop there? Gas everybody.

I think we should ban the word "Gas" as hate speech :P

Wait, I had a better idea than banning "gas" as hate speech

Ban "hate speech" as hate speech

I can see it now. "Hey ServerMember12534, how's it going?"

"Oh, not bad ServerMember 9812

But @Timcast, haven't you heard that numbers can be racist?

We should use only symbols

Oh hey @Timcast, if it helps any, not everybody is a total slave to what the media says. I believe everything you say 100% except for the bit where you say not to trust everything you say.

We should get a role for that 😝

@Bryanluvzyou Half the time the message of the day in the good news channel would just be "There isn't a nuclear holocaust yet"

The other half of the time it would be "man rescues kitten from tree"

Well, traditional rulers are too inaccurate

We need to use hands as a measurement, like when measuring a horse's height

Oh boy. You know it's going to be an eventful week when Yvette Falarca makes the news (again)

@BigBoppinBoslet I used to play World of Tanks. I also used to play Armored Warfare.

I liked Armored Warfare before they came out with their new model in January of last year. I liked it over World of Tanks because there was a PVE mode

Their new model is just less fun for me overall, because apparently the devs decided that the XM1A3 was overpowered, so they nerfed just about everything about the tank

The XM1A3 was the first tier 10 tank I got in AW

As for WoT, I don't think I ever got past Tier 9. I got to the E-75, then I decided to grind down the American heavy tree and I think I only got to the T-32 (or whichever tank came after the T-29 in the tree. I don't remember exactly which one it was)

@BigBoppinBoslet To be fair, I have all the Tier 10 MBTs in AW

I had no plans to get the E100 when I finally got my E75

Between the Tiger II, the E75, and the E100 I think the E75 is the best overall (for its tier)

#faketanks

We should probably move this conversation over there

Yeah, since almost all the top-tier tanks never made it past blueprints

Even then they only had two Maus prototypes, and only one of them had a proper turret

I never really saw the Chi-Ri in WoT since I was in the upper tiers by the time the Japanese tanks were introduced

I played the Pzkw IV back when it still had the Vader-helm Panther turret as an upgrade

and the 75-L70 cannon

Now *that's* fake news

I started in late '09 or early '10, about 4 months after my brother started. I can't remember when exactly.

He doesn't play any more either
