Portal:The Portal Group Discord Overview

The Portal Group Discord server is structured to privilege projects and focused discussion. New members automatically receive the "Newb" role upon joining, restricting their ability to post to the #lobby-and-introductions channel and the Open Discussion channels. Access to project and focused discussion channels is given when a member's "Newb" role is removed. This usually happens when a member contributes or otherwise shows interest in the community.

Voice Channels
There are different permissions for different voice channels.

Newb Voice
Anyone can chat in Newb Voice. The associated text channel is #newb-voice-text.

Office Hours
Office Hours is for meetings and focused discussion. The associated text channel is #office-hours. "Newb" members can schedule meetings with High Rollers to talk about projects, or join and listen, but by default they cannot speak unless given temporary access.

Roller Voice
Roller Voice is for de-newbed users who have found the "Roller" role. The associated text channel is #roller-voice-text.
