Your map of TSHE

Channel access can vary by verification, role, and later server changes. Use this guide to find the right place, then follow the current channel topic and staff direction.

This is the member-facing guide to the server. Channel access may vary by verification, role, and later server changes.

Quick Start

  1. Welcome: #welcome
  2. Verification: #verify
  3. Rules: #rules
  4. Roles: #roles
  5. Introductions: #introductions
  6. General chat: #general

1. Start Here

Your first steps: verify, read the rules, choose roles, and find the community.

Your first five steps

1. Begin in #welcome and complete verification in #verify.
2. Read the complete rulebook in #rules.
3. Use #roles to choose age, DM-status, device, and notification roles.
4. Introduce yourself in #introductions.
5. Join the conversation in #general.

Essential information

  • #server-guide — this server guide and channel directory
  • #staff-list — current staff team and responsibilities
  • #staff-movement — staff arrivals, departures, and role changes
  • #announcements — important server announcements
  • #changelog — server changes and release notes
  • #polls — community polls and decisions

Verification help

If verification does not work, use #verification-help. Never send anyone your password, authentication code, recovery code, token, or payment details. Staff and bots do not need those secrets to verify you.

Complete verification only through the official server flow. Do not borrow accounts or use another person’s verification.

Getting comfortable

You do not need to use every channel. Start with rules, roles, introductions, and general, then explore based on your interests. Channel names and topics describe their purpose; staff may redirect conversations so each space remains useful.

2. Community & Social

Conversation, introductions, suggestions, media, pets, memes, music, and community games.

Everyday community spaces

  • #general — the main conversation channel
  • #introductions — introduce yourself to the community
  • #suggestions — propose thoughtful server improvements
  • #confessions — anonymous-style community confessions
  • #counting — keep the shared counting chain going

Sharing and entertainment

  • #media — photos, clips, screenshots, and general media
  • #pets — pets and animal companions
  • #memes — memes and light humour
  • #music — music conversation and recommendations
Check content before posting. All channels remain SFW, and spoiler tags never make prohibited material acceptable.

Suggestions that help

Explain the problem, the proposed change, who benefits, likely trade-offs, and how success could be measured. Search recent suggestions before creating a duplicate, and discuss the idea rather than attacking the person proposing it.

Community etiquette

Stay relevant to the channel, avoid flooding, respect DM-status roles, credit creators, and stop an interaction when someone sets a boundary. Use reports or tickets for misconduct instead of public call-outs.

---

3. Creative Spaces

Creative discussion, showcases, feedback, attribution, commissions, and AI disclosure.

Create together

  • #creative-chat — discuss works in progress, tools, techniques, and ideas
  • #creative-showcase — showcase completed or presentation-ready work

Art, design, writing, music, video, code, photography, crafts, and other creative work are welcome when they follow the server rules.

Posting your work

Include a useful description, credit collaborators and source assets, and label significant AI assistance or synthetic media when authenticity or authorship matters. Use content warnings for permitted sensitive themes and never post prohibited material behind a spoiler.

Giving feedback

Ask whether the creator wants critique before providing detailed criticism. Make feedback specific, actionable, and directed at the work—not the creator’s worth, identity, experience, or body. Do not demand free revisions or turn showcases into arguments.

Ownership and commissions

Share only work you created or may distribute. Do not remove watermarks, repost paid content, imitate a member deceptively, or submit another person’s private work to AI services without permission. Commission offers must clearly state scope, price, ownership, delivery, and refund terms.

4. Bots, Shop & Progression

Bot commands, AI chat, the shop, Cattito, counting, and progression systems.

Progression and activities

  • #shop — browse the community shop and available rewards
  • #cattito — use Cattito features in their intended space
  • #counting — participate in the counting activity
  • #bot-commands — general-purpose bot commands

AI chat

Use #ai-chat for permitted AI conversation. AI output must follow every server rule and should not be treated as authoritative medical, legal, financial, safety, or moderation advice. Do not submit another member’s private information or content without permission.

Responsible bot use

Keep commands in the correct channel, avoid repeated expensive requests, and do not manipulate counters, rewards, polls, reactions, queues, or public statistics. If a command appears exploitable, stop testing and report it privately.

Levels and rewards

Activity roles run from Level 5 · Newcomer through Level 100 · Legend. Participate naturally; spam, automation, duplicate content, and meaningless messages used to farm progress may be removed and rewards may be corrected.

5. Voice, Events & Giveaways

Join-to-create voice rooms, AFK, events, polls, giveaways, and safe recording practices.

Voice channels

Join #Join To Create to create a temporary voice room. Use #AFK when you are away. Room ownership does not override server rules or staff safety controls.

Voice etiquette

Keep audio comfortable, give others room to speak, and stop disruptive soundboards, music, TTS, distortion, or background noise when asked. All streamed screens, cameras, avatars, and audio must remain SFW.

Recording and streaming

Recording, clipping, screenshotting cameras, or rebroadcasting a call requires informed consent from every affected participant. Announce recording clearly, stop if consent is withdrawn, and never expose notifications or personal information from a shared screen.

Events and giveaways

Watch #giveaways for giveaways and #polls for polls. Select the Events Ping and Giveaways roles in #roles if you want notifications. Never pay, reveal credentials, or join an unknown server to claim an unverified prize.

6. Bots, Updates & Partners

Bot status, development news, GitHub, upcoming work, partnerships, and announcements.

Bot Hub

  • #bot-status — live bot status and service notices
  • #bot-updates — bot updates and release information
  • #github — GitHub and development links
  • #sneak-peaks — previews of work in progress
  • #upcoming-updates — planned and upcoming updates

Server news

Use #announcements for major announcements and #changelog for detailed changes. Notification roles let you opt into Announcements, Bot Updates, Bot Status, Server Updates, and Sneak Peaks without receiving every possible ping.

Partnerships

  • #partners — approved community partners
  • #saphix-customs — Saphix Customs partnership space

Partnership status is not a blanket endorsement of every external post, transaction, or member. Review external rules and protect your account information.

Reading status information

Check timestamps and the affected service before assuming a problem applies to everything. Avoid repeatedly pinging staff during a known incident; useful reports include the command, approximate time, channel, and exact error without exposing credentials.

---

7. Roles & Notifications

Self-assignable identity, DM preference, device, ping, supporter, and progression roles.

Choose roles in one place

Use #roles for self-assignable roles. Roles communicate preferences and interests; they do not grant permission to ignore boundaries or reveal private information.

Personal preference roles

Age: 13–15, 16–17, 18+, or Prefer Not To Say Age
DM status: DM's open, Ask To DM, or DM's closed
Relationship: Single or Taken
Devices: PC, XBOX, Playstation, Switch, and Mobile

Always follow the selected DM status. An open-DM role is not consent to advertising, sexual contact, harassment, or invasive questions.

Notification roles

Choose only the updates you want: Announcements, Bot Updates, Bot Status, Server Updates, Votes, Dead Chat Revive, Events Ping, Giveaways, Sneak Peaks, and Cybersecurity Alerts.

Recognition and progression

The server includes Member, OG Member, Supporter, Contributor, Trusted, booster recognition, access tiers, seasonal roles, and level milestones. Some are earned or staff-managed rather than self-assigned. Never impersonate eligibility or pressure staff for a role.

---

8. Support, Reports & Safety

Tickets, applications, reports, account security, urgent risks, and appeals.

Get help

  • #create-a-ticket — create a private support ticket
  • #applications — view available staff or community applications
  • #verification-help — verification assistance

Choose the closest ticket reason and explain what you need clearly. Duplicate tickets slow down support.

Report a rule violation

Include message links, user IDs, approximate time, relevant unedited context, and whether anyone faces immediate danger. Do not confront the subject, circulate private evidence, mobilise reports, or repost harmful content.

Protect your account

Staff will never request your password, token, authentication code, recovery code, or screen-share control. Treat urgent QR-code logins, downloads, payment demands, and “account report” DMs as suspicious. Change credentials and contact Discord support if your account may be compromised.

Urgent danger

For an immediate real-world emergency, contact local emergency services or a trusted person who can physically help. The Discord server is not an emergency service. Staff may preserve evidence and escalate credible threats, exploitation, doxxing, malware, or child-safety incidents.

Appeals

Use the official appeal process for factual errors, new evidence, or disproportionate outcomes. Be concise and truthful; do not evade a restriction, harass staff, or recruit others to pressure a decision.

9. Staff & Server Operations

How to identify staff, understand staff functions, and raise concerns appropriately.

Find the current team

Use #staff-list for the authoritative staff list and #staff-movement for staff movement. Do not rely only on display names, colours, copied avatars, or claims made in DMs.

Staff structure

The live hierarchy includes Trainee, Moderator, Senior Moderator, Head Moderator, administration, executive management, security, development, and ownership functions. Different roles have different responsibilities and access; not every staff member handles every case.

Contacting staff

Use tickets for support, reports, privacy issues, partnerships, and case questions. Avoid unsolicited DMs unless a staff member requests one or there is no safe official route. Never send account secrets or unnecessary identity documents.

Staff accountability

Staff must follow the rulebook and internal standards. If a staff member may have acted improperly, preserve relevant evidence and use the confidential escalation or appeal route. Public call-outs, harassment, and impersonation interfere with fair review.

Operational privacy

Members will not see internal reports, logs, deliberations, security alerts, or private ticket workspaces. This protects reporters and investigations; it does not prevent you from requesting review of your own moderation outcome through the proper process.
