Discord staff
This is an offshoot rant before I go any further. Discord is hell now. You can *almost* have a conversation without some idiot spamming the clown emote and/or completely derailing the conversation for some meme. Entire sections are ignored because staff muted them (Hello? You're a discord mod??) and the general mods say its not their problem since discord mod is a thing. That was not the point of giving some staff advanced commands, because in essence that means two (I'm not double counting Avi) staff plus the admins are the only ones doing it. I don't know if that stems from mods feeling like they shouldn't anymore or just straight apathy. I have several personal guesses depending on the staff member. Staff were never really required to staff this, but it should be expected especially from mods.
Overall, Discord mods should not have any used thread on ignore, except the bot threads because that'll get old. The staff should be easily reachable so I have no idea why the roll isn't pingable. I mean come on, its the one role in DISCORD that should have that turned on. I don't care if you're not on all the time, but there should be a reasonable expectation that you can get on and actually do the job. Its a specialized position, use it, the discord is going to hell from lack of effort. And for the love of dink, add more staff to this list please.

Considering there's only 2 of us as Discord Moderators it's EXTREMELY difficult to browse through every single section of the discord. Discord Moderators only have these commands: Mute, Kick, Ban. WE have no control over restricting players nor can we give people roles, that is strictly ADMINS along with restricting reactions on peoples messages. 

The Role isn't ping able because the excessive people who like to MEME ping people as it is. 

There's guidelines in the process which I happily look forward to them being released. 

There's so many clicks, groups, or whatever you want to call them on Discord that the moment you Warn someone the group jumps in for the "injustice" of whatever it may be. 

To anyone who complains about being warned for a rule violation, I am not sorry. 

 

I may not always be able to monitor the discord due to gearing up to deploy, but when able I try to put some effort into what's going on.

If you want to help moderate the discord, by all means apply. 

Apply for Discord Moderator if you're willing to be constantly bombarded with DM's how you're being selective or unfair or whatever uneducated excuse people come up with. 

By all means. Join the Discord Moderator Team, where we are still figuring out how to deal with the regular trolls and drama makers. 

Certainly when I was admin I didn’t read through full general chat every day, but a clear example of “missing” sections should be the health and wellness misuse. Clicking the channel shows a meme from Skyrim immediately.
The ability to give roles should be a part of discord moderator. It’s part of the daily work for discord after all. And should the system be set up right, you wouldn’t be able to give past a certain rank so there’s no issue there. 
As to the pingable role, not that you set it up but if the role can’t be pinged because of trolls pinging it then frankly that hiding from the issue. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot then go for it. If they keep repeating they get banned and oh no one less troll. The same goes for troll groups. Staff have the same issue on server yet manage to handle that, I presume. 
For myself, I have talked to avi about parts of the new guidelines. And perhaps I will apply it has crossed my mind, but after 2 years I prefer this support role. If it can be called that at this point. 

I’ll respond to fish and beyond in the morning, at this point my eyes are glazing over posts
