You should watch documentaries about World War II and the Finnish War; things aren't quite as they are portrayed in movies...

Well, now, thanks entirely to you, Dirty will definitely come to love history :D :D

As long as there are no rules in the Discord channel, there's nothing to moderate. Deleting and banning would only happen for some extreme outrageous behavior.

Guys, for what and for whom was the general Discord channel created? For Piterius, so he could spew his garbage there? Don't we access Discord directly from the HeroesWorld portal? Doesn't the HeroesWorld portal have communication rules? What's the difference between moderating this topic and moderating the Discord channel in the flood section?
Today I read another piece of nonsense from Piterius. It's one thing when he just states his opinion, but when he starts name-calling and insulting other players, are specially written rules really needed for that?

"PiteriusToday at 01:26
name me even one reason why Merlin should be interviewed? for me he's just a sheep"
"PiteriusToday at 06:38
I'm wondering, is there a fucking bastard in this chat who banned me on HW?
but the point isn't even the ban, it's that damn humanity dared to delete my post"
"PiteriusToday at 06:52
or does that evil scumbag in St. Petersburg really think he can forbid me anything else with his crooked little hand besides banning my nickname on HW?)
I think it's just the usual fucking bleh
fucking bleh is when you feel sick and want to burp but can't, attention valuable advice - think of the evil romantic, you'll burp everything and it's guaranteed"

Isn't that "extreme outrageous behavior"?
And after this, I see a post from moderator Redwhait: "RedwhaitToday at 08:06
Petya, are you on a bender again or something?"

Dirty, please give an example of "extreme outrageous behavior". I want to understand for myself whether I need the Discord channel or I'll get by with ICQ.
Even in the general ISQ chat in the SOD group, players get warnings for explicit insults and messages are deleted.

P.s. I'm sure that newbies on the HeroesWorld portal who end up in the Discord channel and read Piterius's posts will hardly want to keep playing on the HeroesWorld portal, or am I missing something...
P.s.s. by the way, a year ago at this time the group stage of the "Новичок 2018-Winter" tournament was already in full swing, but there's silence about the "Новичок 2019-Winter" tournament. If my memory serves me right, there used to be an unwritten rule: the winner of the Новичок tournament must become the organizer of the next Новичок tournament.

You can guide a newcomer yourself. What's stopping you? I think almost anyone has that opportunity.

Regarding the rules in Discord, I agree. Any reasonable person would think twice about joining a channel after seeing what's there.

Come on, if a person stands out, dressed entirely in white, surrounded by sheep, cockroaches, and even worse creatures, how can you possibly restrain yourself?
And regarding Discord, yes, even in the best years of World of Warcraft chat, you wouldn't see something like that :D

Well, that's not true (regarding the in-game chat). Petya, with all due respect, is nowhere near as good as the legendary duo of Filia + Volk.

As Khazanov said to Zhirinovsky in one TV show. In a play by a famous Polish playwright, Slawomir Mrozek, there is a phrase: "It's hard for me to consider you a partner in a discussion – you're having hallucinations."
For this simple reason, I don't see any point in going to Discord. And even more so, I won't seriously react to Petya's nonsense: the person is simply not well (whether it's due to some childhood/adolescent/adult psychological traumas or congenital problems – let's leave that to the specialists).

Off-topic. I remembered Zloy_romantik. He's not throwing up. But I feel like having a drink...)))

Well, that's not true (regarding the Wargaming.net chat). Petya, with all due respect, is far inferior to the legendary duo of Filia + Volk.

But there, it was a duo, a dialogue, and here it's a one-man show.

It turned out that anyone can block a user, and all of their messages will no longer be visible in the general channels. This is a significant advantage compared to Telegram. So, everyone can solve the problem of blatant rudeness for themselves.

Guys, what was the purpose of creating the General Discord channel, and for whom was it intended? Was it created for Peterius to just rant there? Don't we access Discord directly from the HW portal? Aren't there rules for communication on the HW portal? How does the moderation of this topic differ from the moderation in the Discord channel in the "flood" section?

Don't get so worked up. HW needed a Discord, and it got one. And, I must say, this platform is still active specifically for our portal, which cannot be said about many other servers. But, of course, many things still need to be regulated, and we'll talk about that later.

Discord VS HW

There is definitely a difference between Discord and the forum, and it's quite significant: if the forum is, let's say, an official establishment where all players are currently present. Here, eternal Heroes-related questions are resolved, offline and online tournaments are discussed, and votes are held for the best players, etc. Now, to the main point.

Rules.

It's obvious that HW simply must have strict moderation; otherwise, it will be anarchy, which could lead to the community falling apart.
Of course, Discord also has its own laws, norms, and rules of communication, BUT, it's obvious that in the segmented "FLOOD" section (from the English word "flow"), they don't apply and shouldn't apply. This place is nothing more than a tavern where many tipsy guys just blurt out whatever comes to mind. Besides, for many, this channel is nothing more than a "chat simulator." Why not? Kappa

And yes, those who are so unhappy with Peterius can simply mute him in their own channel, and that's it, the problem is solved.

Let's go back to the beginning.
First of all, no one forces you to read this flood. Just mute this channel completely and don't worry, because important information will still be announced on HW or in a moderated Discord channel.
Secondly, as you have already understood, Discord was not created in opposition to the forum, but as a support, an international messenger for connecting with people. And this problem has been completely solved - a channel called "Let's arrange a game" has been created; those who need it will use it.
In conclusion, I can say that I am completely satisfied with Discord, I wish it all the best, and I hope it doesn't degrade like others.

HOWEVER, it's obvious that the rules don't apply to the "FLOOD" section (from the English word "flow"), and they shouldn't. This place is nothing more than a tavern where many tipsy guys just blurt out whatever comes to mind.

Let them spout any historical, political, or other nonsense. But in my opinion, people should be banned for insults even there.

Looks like I'll have to create not only a second "chilling" chat, but also a third "free" one. And then I'll have to moderate the "free" one as well – to get rid of the stupidity and spam. It's complicated. (((

I'll save it for posterity on the forum, if the moderators don't delete it. "Piterius Today at 16:24 with Zloy Romantik, yes, I went too far, I'm sorry, but that's all."

Now I've seen everything.

There, it was a duo, a dialogue, but here it's a one-man show :)

A one-man show was also present – Bayan, who daily reported on what he ate...
