I finally got at doing some renovations on the Steemit Ramble discord server this morning. We passed the 300 member mark this week, so, likely best I don’t wait for chaos to start.

I’ve created some new channels and categories as well as defining the roles in the server and setting permissions to control what the different roles can do.

Getting Started

This is a new category for the channels to get the newbies started. If you’ve been on the Ramble server for a while, you should check out the channels just to be sure you’re current on what is going on.

I have been slack about getting a welcome message written to help visitors understand what the server is about. There is a new channel for the welcome message and the rules for the server. Yeah, it’s about time for some rules.

I’ve also added a channel to describe the different channels and the roles in the server. Some of the channels haven’t been setup yet so, if you don’t see it, it is coming.

People have to register to get upgraded to the first role of “drop-in”. There is a channel to register in. Once you are registered, and a mod sees it, you’ll be upgraded.

Reference Section

I’ve added a channel to post ramble-members-profiles so people can follow each other. You need to be an active member of the server, meaning you’re a Curator, Nominator or you attend PYPT.

Post Promotion

I’ve changed the promote-any-post-here channel so that you have to be a registered user and upgraded to drop-in to be able to post.

I’m giving you fair warning here: I’ll be changing it again in the near future that will not only have to have the Drop-in role but will need to have commented and voted on at least one other person’s post every time you post a link. The comment has to be non-spammy, in other words, ‘great post’ isn’t going to cut it.

The only reason I’ve not changed it yet, is I have some other things I want to look after first. I’ll post when it changes.

The Steemit Ramble discord server is about curating good content and encouraging people to network and share with others. If I leave that promotion channel as a link drop, it isn’t in keeping with the purpose of the server.
