Memberships and Ranks in Discord
If you have wandered into the VirtualFlight.Online Discord server since yesterday evening, you've probably noticed that many of the channels have vanished - don't panic - they are not gone - just hidden.
Introducing Memberships
To help make the VirtualFlight.Online Discord server more manageable going forwards, we are introducing a number of new "roles" within the server - the most basic of which is "Member". Unfortunately we are a victim of our own success - and have more members than we can possibly assign to the role in one go - so we're asking you to sign yourselves up.
To do that we have added a ”Self Service” channel, where you can add yourself as a "member" - the channels will then re-appear automagically after doing so.
Virtual Airline Onboarding
There is also a new "VA Onboarding" channel that you will be able to see once you become a member. This is to encourage members of the virtual airline to change their nickname within this discord server to reflect their callsign. Once you do so, we award you the "Virtual Airline Pilot" role, which gives you access to a private group of forums for those interested in the virtual airline.
The "VA Onboarding" channel also lets you tell us your rank - in turn, we will join you to it's associated role in Discord, meaning you get the label on your Discord profile, and appear alongside others with the same rank in the member list alongside Discord.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
We are still trying to figure all of this out for ourselves, so bear with us!
