by OfficerLarry As we move forward into the new year we have took on a new chatting system. Personally I wanted to see what the people said about it. After a few days I made the switch so as a so called “Geek” I wanted to give you the insider on the HDA Discord Server. Enjoy! This Guide will explain the tons of different features Discord has to offer. If you need help with mobile click here: tinyurl.com/HDAdiscord4mobile Why Discord? Well it's an All-in-one voice and text chat program which allows us to communicate with each other by voice, by channel chats in the voice, by text in the public chat and by in talking to people in private. This new program will not only let us voice and chat on a new level, but will allow the staff team to be more readily available. Either through the social chat or by private messaging them. Not to mention you get some pretty great features, which can be further explained here: discordapp.com/features One Important feature that is killer to me is the Discord Web Client: Signing up to use Discord is very simple. For starters, you don't even need to provide an email address to open Discord! If you open discordapp.com, you can click the "Open Discord" button, enter a username (you can always change this later!) , and hop right in. You'll be able to enjoy all of the chat functions Discord has to offer, but it's important to claim your account by verifying your email address. This will ensure that you keep your username and Discriminator (those four digits next to your user name), as well as remembering all the servers you've joined! Now how to do certain things within our server! As you know we have certain tags within our server. These tags help keep things balanced and make things easier to within HDA. Important tags: @BA - To Call on a Badge admin within the Request Chat or any chat (do it in Request because that's where all request are made @RR - To call upon a Room Rights Holder: This sends a direct message to the RR holders of HDA @RS - sends message to All Rank Sellers for people who want to buy a rank @BOD or any other tag within the image to speak directly to any of the members with that tag Important @ symbols and the Hashtag#: Hashtags are used for tagging members of that division in a message. If someone was sending a question at staff apart of Financial affairs or Internal Affairs you would use the #hashtag and it will let them know once viewing it that it was directed at them. @here - Mentions all members that are online on discord @everyone - Mentions everyone To send a custom message to a user and you want only them to be alerted type @[That Persons UserName] Example: @Calvin[OFL]2345 Important Chats: For every HDA member added to discord you are put into your divisional chat in command and up of course and then you have: Social: To talk about anything Request: To request badges and other things such as @RS - Rank Seller or @RR - room rights holder Announcements: For Staff to send ya those juicy announcements about the blog ahahah and everything else. Other settings:
Sweet styles you can use on discord: Italics = *italics* Underline italics = __*underline italics*__ Bold = **bold** Underline bold = __**underline bold**__ Bold italics = **bold italics** Underline bold italics = __***underline bold italics***__ Underline = __underline__ Strikethrough = ~~strikethrough~~ Simply write whatever message you wish to write and do the symbols where is needed to get the style you are after. Got a question about discord? Well you’re in luck, just ask Calvin[OFL] and I can help you. I have made it a hobby to know about discord as I am creating a bot.
