Wikipedia talk:Discord

Mentioned

I have just brought up Discord as a potential real time help channel (to supplement or supplant IRC) in the Help desk header template. Maybe I should have asked here first? Input welcome at Wikipedia talk:Help desk/Header § Reformattings. Folly Mox (talk) 17:46, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Replied there. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:02, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Discord ban

Hi, I was banned from the Wikipedia discord server, I think because I kept joining and leaving a voice channel, and I feel that isn't a fair reason to be banned. I never even talked. Orca (talk) 02:43, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

I also never got a verbal warning. Orca (talk) 02:43, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Appeal declined. Warnings aren't required, but a "verbal warning" certainly isn't required given the behavior is rapidly joining and leaving the voice channel. You were text warned, and continued. Being an annoyance and spamming the voice channel with join/part notifications while others attempt to converse is incredibly disruptive. You may appeal in 6 months with a demonstrable track record of regular constructive editing. -- ferret (talk) 02:49, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

It may be necessary for you to have a track record of regular constructive editing for 6 months to get back in, but know you need not get burdened, that Wikipedia is choice. ExclusiveEditor _{Notify Me!} 19:22, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Ban?

I was banned yesterday. For bad advice but the user agreed with me and accused me of repeatedly giving bad advice told said user but he had a bad record I don’t understand what makes you should admit some of your wrong doing at ani before. Bad advice. It’s not adding up. •Cyberwolf•talk? 15:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

You got banned because you've exhausted moderator patience, unfortunately. Continued interjections of random nonsense that didn't stop after two timeouts, then two instances of very bad advice including a) suggesting that block evasion is fine and b) that people can and should expect to be outed at ANI. I understand that you generally mean well, but it is very frustrating to have someone behaving as you have been and not making changes when asked. The bad advice was very much the last straw and not the bulk of the issue. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:09, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

a was not advice lol b i said the wrong term •Cyberwolf•talk? 15:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

We're not interested in debating this. You can appeal in 6 months. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:26, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

I mean ok •Cyberwolf•talk? 15:34, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Unban request

Courtesy ping to @Hey man im josh.

I believe the reason for my ban was my being blocked & locked (as well as kvetching about it. Could I be un-banned as I am no longer blocked?

You don't need to and shouldn't ping specific moderators when making an appeal. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Under discussion. -- ferret (talk) 18:09, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

My apologies, I misremembered the message a buddy forwarded JayCubby Talk 00:07, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

@JayCubby Your ban has been lifted. Please read the Server Guide fully when you rejoin. There is always extra scrutiny for the behavior of those who have been banned in the past, so please focus on best behavior. -- ferret (talk) 02:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

@Ferret -- Thank you very much. though I'm still getting an error message, are you sure you've unbanned "jay_cubby"? JayCubby Talk 02:53, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

@JayCubby I've double checked and it is no longer in the ban list and an audit log entry for the unban exists. -- ferret (talk) 03:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Might it be because I at one point attempted to join with an alt, jaycubbytwo? JayCubby Talk 03:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

@JayCubby If there is some sort of underlying IP block, you'll just have to keep trying until it clears. We can't do anything about those. -- ferret (talk) 03:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Alright, thanks! No rush. JayCubby Talk 03:15, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Ban appeal: ahriboy

Hello. I was unaware of being confusing and failure to curtail inflammatory opinion inside the server. I am also unaware that off-topic channels are not everyday aggregator channels (see WP:NOTREDDIT). I deeply regret about the past, including mentions of certain blocked and banned users. Ahri Boy (talk) 17:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ahri Boy. Per our direct messages only two weeks ago, where we discussed the topic of an appeal, this appeal is declined. -- ferret (talk) 17:51, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, supposedly to be on February, but it needs to demonstrate improved chatting within six or more months after posting this appeal. Ahri Boy (talk) 17:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Ban appeal: echopeak01

Hello, I tried filing an appeal half a year ago but it was dismissed. I want to reappeal the decision to ban my account from the Discord server.

Discord username is echopeak01 Alon Alush (talk) 18:02, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Your most recent appeal was declined 28 September 2024 with an instruction to not appeal for 6 months. By my count, that's 2.43 months ago, not 6. So the answer is no. You may appeal not before 10 June 2025. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 18:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Can we make the reappeal date 28 March 2025? Alon Alush (talk) 16:35, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I thought it was 6 months duration from the date I got the ban?

And why is it 6 months from *now?* Alon Alush (talk) 16:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Per @PMC - I have doubts about your ability to not repeat these mistakes, so soon after repeating them. Either you deliberately choose to ignore instruction or have an inability to follow instruction. Neither lends any confidence to the moderators willingness to permit you back into the server. You may appeal not before 10 June 2025. Please do not give cause to increment this any further. Seddon ^talk 19:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Ban appeal?

I'm pretty sure i was banned from the Discord, since i cannot join it VIA the link in this article, and since i remember i was once apart of it. I was barely active in the server and genuienly don't know why i was banned (i was even was). Can anyone help out here? My discord username is master gurli. Regards - Tinkaer1991 (talk) 21:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Tinkaer1991 You've been unbanned. Please try to keep conversations/messages more serious on rejoining. -- ferret (talk) 16:54, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Rebanned. Do not bother appealing. -- ferret (talk) 21:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

For saying (Redacted)? Cmon the cencorship is crazy Tinkaer1991 (talk) 22:10, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

No, for trollish comments and arguing with moderators immediately on return, after being told from the start, just above, to be more serious. There's no censorship here at all. You were originally banned for trolling/shitposting, and you immediately did the same on return. That's all. Topic is closed. -- ferret (talk) 22:19, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Pls tell me where i argued with moderators "immediately on return", and also what "trolling/shitposting" i was originally banned because of? Tinkaer1991 (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Unblock request: lavender.alchomohol

Hi, I was informed that I was blocked per block evasion. However, I have never misused any accounts. If I can have the particulars on what I was originally blcoked for that would be lovely. ThatIPEditor ^{They / Them} 04:24, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

@ThatIPEditor You've been unbanned. Please stick to one account (your main) going forward to avoid a future issue. -- ferret (talk) 16:55, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
