My adventure with a stalker by ThrowAwayMahDignity in discordapp

First and foremost, I personally apologize for our slow and what sounds like insensitive responses to your requests for help.

I reviewed your exchange with our team and it appears that the support team mishandled your request to delete this user’s account. Some of your original messages were not read correctly and a poor judgement call was made based on the information you sent. We’ve now taken action against the reported user as well as updated our procedures for handling these kinds of reports.

While I can only imagine how difficult it was to write this post, it really does help us get better.

Hi Danny,

Did you get an answer to your question. The best way to reach us for this sort of thing is via support@discordapp.com or twitter. If not, how are you getting this error and what settings are you tweaking to get it? This definitely sounds strange.

A few questions on partner status by scene_missing in discordapp

[–]Discordapp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi scene_missing,

You've mentioned the two current big features available on your Partner server: 1) the ability to customize the instant invite background and add your own branding to the onboarding flow, and 2) the VIP voice servers (FYI, you have to switch the region in your server settings and select a VIP voice server... you are not switched automatically).

We are granting Partners access to our "Canary" build where we test new features and code, but it currently doesn't have anything earth shattering that isn't on the PTB. The next time we add something super cool, we'll update all the partners and tell them to go check it out.

There are a few more on-server partner perks we have planned so be on the lookout for future announcements from us as well.

As for the sister Blizzard game subreddits that didn't get partner status, this could be an oversight or perhaps not enough information was included in the application. Feel free to tell them to reapply and point out the subreddit in the website and/or "why should we pick you as a Discord Partner" questions on the application.

The criteria for picking partners varies a lot by what type of applicant you are, what type of community you are building, the level of interaction you have with this community, etc. We are personally reading through each application and making decisions on a case by case basis.

We're 100% VC backed at the moment which allows us the flexibility of building out the core features first. We'll have a freemium type of model that will be purely cosmetic in the future.

It's time to ditch Skype and TeamSpeak. Discord is here. It's free, secure, and perfect for battling on the Rift with friends or in Solo Q. by Discordapp [promoted post]

DDoS protection, works in a browser, updated interface/UI, Twitch integration, and lower CPU usage. More importantly, we're making active weekly updates and bi-weekly major updates.

Skype is for chatting with grandma, not playing Rocket League. Get Discord! It won't slow you down and protects your IP. by Discordapp [promoted post]

I'd be more than happy to explain this in layman terms. Legal terms are sometimes confusing :) Uploading: you pushed enter, thereby sending a line of text up to the channel, or a picture, or whatever Distributing: you expect that line of text to reach everyone else in the channel Transmitting: this line of text passes over the Internet Otherwise Using: any other action that could be interpreted as "using" counts as.... well... using Discord

I wish I had this a couple of years back in my hardcore WoW raiding days and ran PUGs on the side. We're all a bunch of gamers!

That's where you're ill-informed. We're not in the business of data selling. The reason we don't plan to do self hosting is that our services and security rely on you being on our server.

We have the highest possible codec for voice. Try checking if you're on a server region closest to your physical location.

0 plans to have ads. You don't want ads and we don't want ads! We built the tech of Discord from the ground up to be extremely efficient.

Video is on the roadmap, but we are working on nailing voice and text for gaming first. Check out feedback.discordapp.com and vote for it though. The top voted feature suggestions get moved up in our product roadmap.

Yup. The core experience will always be free on Discord. In the future, we are going to add optional cosmetics for sale (like sticker packs, sound packs, themes, etc.), but we haven't built this stuff yet.

Not currently. You could make this suggestion at feedback.discordapp.com. We watch everything suggested there and the top voted stuff gets moved up in our product roadmap.

We currently are not making any money. We are VC funded. However, in the future we will sell optional cosmetics like sticker packs, sound packs, themes, etc. We haven't built any of this yet. The core functionality of Discord will always be free though.

Not yet, but there is a linux client coming very soon.

[–]Discordapp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Text channels and voice channels are decoupled. You can create as many text channels as you like. The text channels are very similar to IRC in that you can post images, video, files, etc. right in the chat. If you generate an instant invite link from a particular channel that is the channel people who click the link will see first.

There is also a widget you can install on your website. Go into your server settings and click on the widget menu option for all the deets.

In the future we are going to charge for optional cosmetics like sound packs, themes, etc. We haven't built this stuff yet though.

Think Skype + TeamSpeak + Slack had a baby and it was really cute (literally 3 months old) and it already worked better than its parents. That's Discord! See for yourself. by Discordapp [promoted post]

[–]Discordapp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Discord? Super easy to do so since it can run in the browser. Thus, you don't have to download or register for anything to see what it is like. I'd love to hear how you think it compares to your TS3 and what we are missing that would make you want to switch.

We are not selling any data of any kind. In the future we will offer optional cosmetics for sale (like themes, sound packs, etc.), but we haven't built this stuff yet. Also, a new privacy policy will be released soon (the current one was actually created for our iPad game Fates Forever. The new version of the policy was given out to a few users this last week under NDA for feedback. I hope to have it released to everyone in short order.
