## Moderation — APPROVED

**Decision:** Start with **Open** posting + light auto-mod

**Rationale:**
1. Server role requirement already gates access (must be Awakened + picked the server)
2. These are paying subscribers — they're invested
3. Low friction = more engagement = more community

**Auto-mod Rules:**
- Block external links from accounts < 7 days old
- Flag posts with excessive caps/emoji
- 2 reports = auto-hide (staff reviews)

---

## 🔐 Permission Template (Per Server Category)

Apply to ALL 15 server categories:

| Role | View Channel | Send Messages | Connect (Voice) |
|------|--------------|---------------|-----------------|
| @everyone | ❌ Deny | ❌ Deny | ❌ Deny |
| Wanderer | ✅ Allow | ❌ Deny | ❌ Deny |
| [Server Role] (e.g., "Stoneblock 4") | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow |
| The Awakened | — (inherit) | — (inherit) | — (inherit) |
| Staff | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow |
| 🛡️ Moderator | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow |
| 👑 The Wizard | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow |
| 💎 The Emissary | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow |
| ✨ The Catalyst | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow | ✅ Allow |

**Key insight:** Awakened unlocks the ability to PICK server roles. The server role itself grants interaction. Wanderer = window shopping only.

## 🔮 FUTURE: `!createserver` Command Discussion

Questions to resolve:
1. **Command syntax:** `!createserver "Server Name" 🎮` or `!createserver "Server Name"` (auto-emoji)?
2. **Forum starter content:** Use templates from this doc? Customizable?
3. **Carl-bot integration:** Auto-add reaction role? Or manual step?
4. **Position:** Auto-position after last server category?
5. **Confirmation:** Require `!createserver confirm "Server Name"`?
