Topic: Bricks in Motion Discord chat

Recently I was asked to start a Discord server for Bricks in Motion, which is something I hadn't thought to do before but I think is a good idea. If you don't know, Discord is basically like if Skype wasn't awkward and annoying. You can talk in text channels or in voice channels, and it can be accessed either in-browser or with an app download. Here is the invite to the new BiM channel (please note that live chats can often get a bit wild, and often too fast for moderators to clean up. I'm not sure if Discord has a word filter, so there isn't one in place currently):

I think this should be a link that doesn't expire. Let me know if it does.

I use discord for voice chat in games. Playing PUBG, hit me up if anyone plays.

Re: Bricks in Motion Discord chat

Been sorting out what to do about moderation today. Still trying to figure out if it is possible to set up a word filter, but for now there is a general chat that will be moderated and also an unmoderated chat that you must ask to be given access to.

Re: Bricks in Motion Discord chat

We've gone ahead and added a bot, Botman, to automatically remove swearing from the #general channel. He won't do anything in any of the other channels. At present, if someone uses a word on the censor list their post will be deleted and we'll get a notification that they did it. If language in #general becomes a persistent problem the bot will be changed to automatically mute people after a warning, but we'd rather not have to do that so please try to keep that sort of behavior out of #general.

Re: Bricks in Motion Discord chat

Thank you very much, Squash. I have also made it so people can't join voice chat and can't send images and links until we confirm they are a brickfilmer and assign them a role. If you join under a name that is different from your BiM username, please say who you are.
