## rough outline of Philcon channel layout ## Most of it hidden to anyone without "at con" type of role, which they ## get either via the CoC acceptance mechanism or manually by an admin. ## still a little too busy, I'd consolidate and re-order some categories Category: welcome special chan: sign-the-coc, visible to @everyone, invokes role-bot chans: ribbons, prog-books / documentation, need-roles Category: helpdesk [could also be con ops with help-stuff under it] chans: help-requests, discord-help, [!zoom-help], a help vox channel Category: gaming several channels, per-game? or misc "round gaming table", square, etc Category: fan tables many underneath per organization, give per-org "manage messages" maybe channels created on the fly as requested Category: dealers many individual, plus a "dealer-help" place [move under ops/help?] perhaps some vox channels for general interactive use dealer-roles could "manage msgs" in category, mild risk of cross-oops Category: artshow individual artists, and they could spam themselves however they like artists-roles could also "manage msgs" in category Category: programming announcements, the run rooms, filk and media discuss, and media-disc vox posting restricted in announce Category: social announce, consuite, party-board + -requests, bar-18+ [with bartenderbot!] posting restricted in announce general vox, and 18+ vox, scale quantity as needed [with the zoom-con-suite idea, far less need here] Category: greenroom ... might place under prog or con ops? greenroom itself, -help, and a vox channel program-participants can see/post Category: volunteers -- sparsely utilized, only needed IRL? volunteer-lounge, and a vox Category: staff -- very underutilized as such prog-planning, prog-ops [for run issues], and a vox Category: tech announce, ops, socialize, post-panel-reports, and two vox [syd's war room] Category: moderator hq incident-writeups [remained empty], mod-discuss which also served as the sort of alert channel, mod-social for total fluff, and a "serious" vox discord server admins would logically hang here or under "tech" too Category: admin chan: arrivals, can set server to drop join notifications here nobody can actually *post* to it, just to collect server msgs this chan can optionally be externally visible, under "social"? ## all in all, still way too many compartments. Consolidation could easily ## have happened with tech/mods/prog-ops under "staff", with maybe "mods" ## separated away, but really, do mods need any more than one non-sync?? ## basic role classes, excluding "ribbons", flags, discord puzzle-hunts admin : everything, speaker-to-bots if needed, maybe "registration" moderator : manage-messages, manage-roles, *not* manage-channels bot : permissions as needed, not necessarily manage-server penalty : specific DENIES to vox channels, deny view/post in some text areas tech, tech-leads : staff/tech access ops, program-ops : staff/greenroom access program-participant : greenroom access artist / artshow : manage in artist-area dealer : manage in dealer-area attendee : access most general con areas @everyone : only see welcome / CoC / help-get-me-started channel
