Discord provides a chatroom environment for real-time discussions with other UESP editors. You can join with this link.

After clicking the link, you will be able to enter a username or log in with your existing Discord account. If you do not have an account, you will be taken to the Account Setup page. Upon joining the UESP Discord server, you may notice a list of channels, denoted with the hash symbol/number sign (#). Click on any channel to view the discussions in that channel.

Talking

To say something in a channel, just type something in and hit enter. Once a message is sent, you have the option of editing it. Press the up arrow to immediately highlight your last message, or hover over a message and click the gear that appears to the right for various options. If you wish to reply to a particular user, or simply want to get their attention, preface their username with the @ symbol to tag them. As you type the name, Discord will offer auto-complete options, and you can simply click their name in the list to finish the tag. (Note that abuse of this feature will not be tolerated. If you wish to disable notifications, you can do so by clicking the server's name above the channel list and choosing Notification Settings.)

Emoji

The UESP Discord is set up with a number of emojis, including logos for Skyrim's main factions; ESO's races, classes, and alliances; Legends' attributes; and various others that may be of interest to Elder Scrolls fans. You can view these, along with the other emojis Discord supports, by clicking the small face icon on the right side of the edit box. If you know an emoji's command (such as :smile: or :Sweetroll:), you can type it in manually; Discord will offer auto-complete suggestions while you do so.

VoIP

Voice channels are provided for non-text discussion. Discord allows you to set up a global hotkey, or use voice activation. Additionally, you can enable an in-game overlay to show other users in a voice channel while you play full-screen games. These options, and many more, can be accessed by clicking the gear icon in your userbox, left of the text input box. While you are logged in, you can "claim" the account at any time by clicking on the Unclaimed Account notification banner at the top of the chat window, or from the User Settings screen. You will then be asked to enter an email address to claim the unique identifier and create an account. Note that even after creating an account, the username you chose can still be used by someone else, but only you will have the unique identifier Username#xxxx.

Chatroom Guidelines

The basic intent of the chatroom is to allow amicable, informal discussions about UESPWiki and the UESP site in general:

  • Amicable: Discussions should attempt to strive to maintain a civil and, if possible, friendly tone.
    • All behavioral policies on the wiki are in effect in the channel.
    • Issues where there are major disagreements are better discussed on the wiki (see IRC and UESP). If any participant in a discussion feels uncomfortable with the tone, he/she should suggest that the discussion be moved to the wiki.
    • Rules listed on this page are meant as behavioral guidelines, not as bludgeons. Very minor infractions can be overlooked at the discretion of those present. More problematic infractions should get verbal warnings first, followed by kicking or banning only if prior warnings are ignored.

Trusted community members have authority to enforce these guidelines as they see fit, in particular in cases where one channel user is disrupting other users of the channel.

Some other guidelines that apply to all discussions on our Discord are:

  • Please keep discussions PG-13-rated at most. This means minimal swearing, no explicit sexual content, and no other clearly mature topics.
  • The server does not support law breaking of any kind. Such behavior will be reported to the network staff, and most likely to your internet service provider.
  • All bots and automated scripts must be approved by an administrator before going live. In particular, an administrator must know exactly what the bot or script is intended to do.
  • Upon entering the channel, view the pinned posts to see if there are any relevant notices.
  • Non-English conversations are not permitted as they are considered disruptive. A couple of lines in a foreign language are fine, but any more than that should be taken elsewhere, whether or not the conversations are related to The Elder Scrolls. If you would like to read about or discuss The Elder Scrolls in other languages, please check out the websites listed here.
  • While it is allowed to post links to external sites, think twice before doing so. Not everyone shares your sense of humor, nor do they deserve nasty images without warning. Therefore, please label your link when posting it in the chat (e.g. kitten / blind kitten /cat / adorable kitten: link).

Ranks and Roles

Various ranks are given to trusted community members. Note that the following list is by no means exhaustive.

Administrator

Administrators are the highest rank, and have control over the server administration. They are trusted members who are usually administrators on the wiki and/or on the forums.

Bureaucrat

Bureaucrat is a special Administrator rank for site owner Daveh and other wiki bureaucrats.

Staff

There are three staff roles with equal standing who have control over channel management. These members should be the first port-of-call if any conflicts or disputes should arise. (Although ideally, these won't arise!). These roles are given out, with administrative discretion, to those who meet the below requirements.

Founders

"Founder" is an honorific title given to those members who joined the Discord server during its first few days of operation.

Level-Based Ranks

By gaining XP and leveling up, you will earn ranks on the server:

  • Novice: New members who have made a few posts will be granted the Novice rank on reaching Level 1.
  • Apprentice: Apprentices are regulars on the server who have reached Level 25. They have made on average 2,100 posts each.
  • Journeyman: Members who reach Level 50 are granted the Journeyman rank.
  • Expert: The Expert rank is given when you reach Level 75. We don't have any of these yet!
  • Master: At Level 99 you become a Master. This requires in excess of 100,000 posts.

Guild Member Roles

If you are a member of one of the UESP's ESO Guilds, you can join the Discord group for that guild. Just type ?join followed by a space and then the name of the guild group you wish to be placed in; this can be PC-NA, PC-EU, PS4-EU, or XB1-NA. This allows access to the ESO_Chat voice channel, and you will receive alerts when announcements are made to Guild members. To leave a group, type ?leave followed by the same code.

Channels

The UESP Discord has channels for a variety of purposes:

Text Channels
  • #news — various Public Service Announcements, UESP-related news, and updates for ES:L and ESO.
  • #rules — outlines channel rules, and provides a link to this page.
  • #live_feed — feeds from official Elder Scrolls and UESP Twitter accounts, as well as authorized YouTube and Twitch channels.
  • #general — for non-Elder Scrolls discussions.
  • #wiki_discussion — this channel is provided for discussion of the UESP Wiki.
  • #lore — a channel is provided for discussion of Elder Scrolls lore.
  • Several channels are provided for discussion of games in the Elder Scrolls series:
  • #other_tes — this channel is provided for discussion of other Elder Scrolls games, including Arena and Daggerfall.
  • #art — for official or fan-made art related to the series.
  • #off_topic — this channel is where most bot commands should be directed.
Voice Channels
  • General — general discussion.
  • ESO_Chat — a voice channel primarily for UESP's ESO Guilds.
  • Main_Series — discussion of Elder Scrolls games.

Bots

Bots are automated programs which can perform special functions. Bot commands should be primarily posted in the #off_topic channel.

  • Dyus of Mytheria is a Dyno™ bot in charge of maintaining order and keeping records of server activity (hence its name). It has extensive moderator commands and can also play music from the Elder Scrolls Original Soundtrack (?ost). To view a full list of commands this bot understands, type ?help.
  • Peregrine-6 is a Mee6 bot named in honor of Atreus' bot Peregrine on the old IRC. It is in control of the chatroom XP and levels system, as well as dank memes. To view a full list of commands this bot understands, type !help.
  • HotBotTed is a bot created by Harmon758 and named after the wiki's primary everything-bot, HotnBOThered. It has numerous miscellaneous commands for games, trivia, emojis, random number generation (including advanced dice rolls and playing cards), internet search, as well as other tools and resources. It can also post live updates from Twitch, Twitter and RSS feeds. To view a full list of commands this bot understands, type \help.
  • Septapus is a bot which makes comics and charts, posts huge emojis, and sets reminders. To view a full list of commands this bot understands, type @Septapus help.

  • M'aiq the Liar knows many commands others do not. He can tell you all about ESO news, and spout a number of his own quotes. To find out more, type !maiq.
  • AIRHORN SOLUTIONS is a bot which plays airhorns and other sounds in the General voice channel. You must be connected to General to use it, but the commands themselves should be typed into #off_topic, the same as for the other bots. To view a full list of commands this bot understands, type !airhorn-solns.
