Hi again, server invites, icons, all suggestions to pass around and good to take into account. Other people are obviously more than welcome to share inputs, still whichever works best for you in those areas. However having multiple accounts named after Seraph of the End characters sounds fun! Just got to pay attention to the specifics to know which person you are interacting with XD and truly embracing Seraph of the End having accounts named related to anything in the series is something to promote.

The Fandom Developers Wiki is where, well things can be developed and their Discord may be helpful if you would like to learn how to create your own bots, indeed any other sweet Discord features. Considering what bots can do it is a good recommendation to have one in your own hands, not to mention they are really cool and learning new areas, one you could use – helpful for you!

Number 6. The big one, again was throwing suggestions around because why not. Did not recommend a profanity ban at all, if anything a gradual transition to nicer language overall. Not my view, but the right to swear being the only non-negotiable point XD also makes it sound that banning swearing would destroy the community, because everyone is copiously swearing, and would leave the Discord (because Seraph of the End isn’t important to them, they just want to swear) to find another place to do nothing but swear for fun, hahaha, joking.

That’s fine, again you know what works best and it is only right for me to place trust in yourself, Ribble and others to make it as good as can be. Which I do, again support your attitude but leading through example conduct wise is also good.

Everything else is fine, do as you please and hope the other Discord examples such as the wiki ones for design ideas, particularly the Developers one for creating things is helpful to gain what you would like.

I wouldn’t call mine a non-negotiable point, rather a best improvement for everyone, people and series concerning point 3. Sounds like it has already been addressed but guidance that the Discord may only accept official links to buy Seraph of the End content, and not fan translations is I’m sure a welcome suggestion. Links sharing illegally accessed content, or those where content is not paid for? Obviously does not belong on a site out to support Seraph of the End. Licensing is our friend, it ensures creators can receive the finances needed and deserved to continue their great work.

Understand that everyone is rightfully excited for the newest Seraph of the End content, hence the previous practice of sharing whichever copy is found first. And yet it’s like being excited for a latest console release, indeed physical copy of a Seraph of the End chapter… and being so excited so as to break into the store and steal it before it is officially released and not paying for it. It’s just like presents are not opened before Christmas (or are, but we like the fun ways of living dangerously) so too should people keep it in before official content release dates. People will simply have to save up and buy the content, luckily the largest shopping outlet ever to exist; the Internet should help them with that. If they cannot currently access it, people can describe it to them which could be fun.

So let’s all remain vigilant for removing illegal copies of content, a polite ”kindly remember official links only!” when removing non-official links should suffice. In addition to the best reasons of purchasing the content to support it, because who would be satisfied with a non-official copy with non-official text (that is so fortunate to be translated to English as well, must never take anything for granted), there is another reason to help pull the rug from under piracy.

Namely Fandom’s initiative in introducing the Fandom Official Community Partnership Program.

Whilst not all wikis may be linked, particularly for Seraph of the End where the anime studio may be a possible partner, and there are currently no plans for further anime, it is the principle we can strive for. It is not so much about whether the Seraph of the End Wiki, and your Discord along with it, can be in partnership whether with Viz Media itself on the manga side of things, or a future anime studio, in any case the site shall continue to be an all-covering encyclopedia anyway with appropriate licensing and content used for informative purposes only.

What are we to do if hypothetically speaking a potential partner, or anyone saw people placing a flashing target on the wiki with links to illegal content. Anyone could rightfully raise that there are areas that support access to full and pirated copies of the manga which fall outside the doctrine of fairuse, and why would we risk that for the wiki/Discord or even think of doing that to the series we love? Again, we are all fans and we support the series, not sap it by robbing it of revenue, satisfied with a blurred perspective of the series. Besides as you say easier now with Viz’s moves to combat piracy by making the chapters available earlier so that’s largely settled with only having official links for the manga, anime, novels, everything.

Has it been a long haul? Good, always nice to get things right and that’s what we shall do. This Discord Policy page is set to join the other policy documents on the wiki. My Hero Academia has quirky additions to the guidelines, so write the guidelines and practices you would like!
