One account covers the site and every game server we run.
Signing In
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Email and password | Confirm the address before you can post |
| Discord | One click. We ask for your name and email address and nothing else |
| The same |
You can link more than one to the same account, from your account page, and sign in with any of them.
Confirming Your Address
Registering signs you in straight away and you can read everything. Posting needs the address confirmed first. The link is in the email we send when you sign up; there is a Send it again button on your account page if it did not arrive.
Check the spam folder. That is where it usually is, and a link nobody opens is the most common reason an account is stuck.
Two-Factor Authentication
A six-digit code from an authenticator app, on top of your password. Turn it on from your account page, and save the backup codes somewhere that is not your phone - they are shown once and are the only way back in if you lose it.
It protects this website. The games sign in their own way and are not affected.
Groups
A coloured name or a badge means a group:
| Group | Who is in it |
|---|---|
| Member | Everyone with an account |
| Staff | Moderators and up |
| Administrator | Site administrators |
You can be in several at once. Everybody has one primary group, Member by default, and picks up the others automatically. The name colour and badge come from the highest-ranking group you are in.
Groups decide what you can do - attach more images, vote with more weight, reach private channels - and some boards, channels and pages are open only to particular groups. Anything not open to you is simply not listed.
Blocking Somebody
Account, then Blocked members. You stop seeing their posts and neither of you can message the other.
They are not told. A message from moderation still reaches you, whoever you have blocked.
Deleting Things
A post you remove is marked removed rather than erased, so a thread still reads in order. Staff can still see what was there.
