Discord Server is read-only for me

KFGauss · Oct 10th 2021, 1:09am

I'm new to using Discord (mostly because I'm stubborn) so please forgive me if I don't use the right names for things.

After creating my Discord account, I came here to the CoN Forum site and clicked on the Discord link.

That launched me into the You've been invited to use the Discord CoN Server. I accepted that invite, but I ignored the two bots that immediately sent me invites. I assumed the Bots were created by users and not by Dorado.

Now I can read the various threads (channels?), but I don't have Discord-permission to post comments or questions in any of them.

Can anyone (accurately) guess what do I need to do to acquire the authority write, in addition to reading?

Derp!

The bots provide the directions you need to follow to be verified. Once verified, you can post.

I saved this because noobs keep DMing me like I'm some sort of Mod:

According to the Dorado guys, when you signed up you should have got an email from their bot that tells you what to do. I personally do not know because I was grandfathered in having been here from before they started doing that. Maybe check your email including spam/junk mail folder.

Thanks DoD

Dorado folks - FYI - I'm maybe a little more cautious than the average person who is new to using Discord, but ... When I sign up for something and immediately get bombarded by offers from "Bots" asking me to accept whatever mysterious thing they are offering (spyware, bloatware, membership in the spam of the month club, automatic p*rn downloads, viruses, trojanhorses, etc.) I decline the opportunities.

Surely there is a better way? Maybe sending people to a page of instructions when the click on your "Discord" button here in the forum, instead of sending them straight into the Discord site?

Regardless, thanks for investing all the time that the Discord server must require from you.

For future players who make the same mistake I did, the solution to my problem was to leave the CoN Discord "server", then use this forum's Discord button to get re-invited to that server

AND THEN

As soon as I rejoined the server, to *quickly* look at the message I got from the Double Counter bot, quickly read that message, and then quickly click on the link in the message that was for me to use to verify that I am not a Bot. Then follow the instructions that the Double Counter software fed to me.
