+# Discord Wanderer Role - Channel Permissions Setup Guide
+
+**For:** Holly (unicorn20089 / The Catalyst)  
+**Created:** March 28, 2026  
+**Purpose:** Configure Wanderer role so free users see Fire/Frost paths but can't access them (FOMO driver)
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 GOAL
+
+**What Wanderer should see:**
+
+✅ **CAN ACCESS (Read + Send):**
+- Welcome & Info channels
+- Community Hub (all channels)
+- Support channels
+- Voice channels (Lobby, Game Rooms, AFK)
+
+🔒 **CAN SEE BUT LOCKED (FOMO Driver):**
+- 🔥 Fire Path category + all fire channels (visible but can't access)
+- ❄️ Frost Path category + all frost channels (visible but can't access)
+
+❌ **CANNOT SEE AT ALL:**
+- Subscriber Lounge
+- Game Servers
+- Staff Area
+- modlog
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 CURRENT ISSUES TO FIX
+
+Based on "View Server As Role" test:
+
+1. **Fire Path & Frost Path are completely hidden** → Should be visible but locked
+2. **modlog is visible to Wanderer** → Should be hidden (staff only)
+3. **Support category might be incomplete** → Verify network-status and breezehost-service-alerts are visible
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 FIX #1: Make Fire Path Visible But Locked
+
+### **Step 1: Configure Fire Path Category**
+
+1. **Right-click** the **"🔥 Fire Path"** category name
+2. Click **"Edit Category"**
+3. Go to **"Permissions"** tab
+4. Click **"Advanced permissions"** (if you see it)
+5. Click **"+ Add members or roles"**
+6. Select **"Wanderer"** from the dropdown
+7. Set these permissions for Wanderer:
+
+**ALLOW (Green ✅):**
+- ✅ View Channel
+
+**DENY (Red ❌):**
+- ❌ Send Messages
+- ❌ Send Messages in Threads
+- ❌ Create Public Threads
+- ❌ Create Private Threads
+- ❌ Embed Links
+- ❌ Attach Files
+- ❌ Add Reactions
+- ❌ Connect (if there are voice channels)
+- ❌ Speak (if there are voice channels)
+
+8. Click **"Save Changes"**
+
+---
+
+### **Step 2: Sync All Fire Channels**
+
+For each channel in Fire Path (fire-general, fire-strategy, fire-events, fire-leaderboards):
+
+1. **Right-click** the channel
+2. Click **"Edit Channel"**
+3. Go to **"Permissions"** tab
+4. **Make sure** the toggle at the top says **"Sync permissions with category"** (should be ON/enabled)
+5. If it says "permissions are synced" → perfect, move to next channel
+6. If it says "permissions are not synced" → click the sync button
+7. Click **"Save Changes"**
+
+**Repeat for all 4 Fire Path channels.**
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 FIX #2: Make Frost Path Visible But Locked
+
+### **Step 1: Configure Frost Path Category**
+
+Same process as Fire Path:
+
+1. **Right-click** the **"❄️ Frost Path"** category
+2. Click **"Edit Category"**
+3. **Permissions** tab
+4. **"+ Add members or roles"** → Select **"Wanderer"**
+5. Set permissions:
+   - ✅ **View Channel** = GREEN (allow)
+   - ❌ **Send Messages** = RED (deny)
+   - ❌ All other message/voice permissions = RED (deny)
+6. **Save Changes**
+
+---
+
+### **Step 2: Sync All Frost Channels**
+
+For each channel (frost-general, frost-builds, frost-events, frost-gallery):
+
+1. Right-click → **Edit Channel**
+2. **Permissions** tab
+3. Verify **"Sync permissions with category"** is ON
+4. Save
+
+**Repeat for all 4 Frost Path channels.**
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 FIX #3: Hide modlog from Wanderer
+
+The #modlog channel should be staff-only, not visible to free users.
+
+1. **Right-click** the **#modlog** channel
+2. Click **"Edit Channel"**
+3. Go to **"Permissions"** tab
+4. Click **"+ Add members or roles"**
+5. Select **"Wanderer"**
+6. Set permission:
+   - ❌ **View Channel** = RED (deny)
+7. Click **"Save Changes"**
+
+Now Wanderer won't see modlog at all.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 FIX #4: Verify Support Category
+
+**Check if these channels exist in the Support category:**
+- network-status
+- breezehost-service-alerts
+- support-tickets
+
+**If they exist, make sure Wanderer can see them:**
+
+1. Right-click **"Support"** category
+2. **Edit Category** → **Permissions**
+3. Find **"Wanderer"** role
+4. Make sure:
+   - ✅ **View Channel** = GREEN (allow)
+   - ✅ **Read Message History** = GREEN (allow)
+   - ✅ **Send Messages** = GREEN (allow) - *for support-tickets only*
+
+**OR just verify the category permissions allow Wanderer to view.**
+
+---
+
+## ✅ VERIFICATION: Test Your Changes
+
+After making all the changes above:
+
+### **Option A: Use "View Server As Role"**
+
+1. Go to **Server Settings** → **Roles**
+2. **Right-click** "Wanderer" role
+3. Click **"View Server As Role"**
+4. You should now see:
+
+**What you SHOULD see:**
+```
+Welcome & Info
+  ✅ welcome, rules, announcements, get-roles
+
+🔥 Fire Path
+  🔒 fire-general (you can see it but it's locked)
+  🔒 fire-strategy (locked)
+  🔒 fire-events (locked)
+  🔒 fire-leaderboards (locked)
+
+❄️ Frost Path
+  🔒 frost-general (locked)
+  🔒 frost-builds (locked)
+  🔒 frost-events (locked)
+  🔒 frost-gallery (locked)
+
+Community Hub
+  ✅ general-chat, memes, introductions, showcase, 
+     off-topic-chat, suggestions, support, feedback
+
+Voice Channels
+  ✅ Lobby, Game Room 1, Game Room 2, AFK
+
+Support
+  ✅ support-tickets (and others if they exist)
+```
+
+**What you should NOT see:**
+- ❌ modlog (hidden)
+- ❌ Subscriber Lounge (hidden)
+- ❌ Game Servers (hidden)
+- ❌ Staff Area (hidden)
+
+---
+
+### **Option B: Test with Alt Account**
+
+1. Create a test Discord account (or use an alt)
+2. Join Firefrost Gaming
+3. Carl-bot should auto-assign Wanderer role
+4. Check what channels you can see
+5. Try to click on fire-general → should see 🔒 lock icon
+6. Leave the test account in the server or kick it when done
+
+---
+
+## 🎨 WHAT THIS ACHIEVES (The FOMO Strategy)
+
+**Free users (Wanderer) will see:**
+
+> "Oh wow, there's a Fire Path with fire-general, fire-strategy... but I can't access it!"
+> 
+> "I can see Frost Path exists but all the channels are locked!"
+> 
+> "I need to subscribe to unlock these!"
+
+**This is WAY more effective than hiding the paths completely.**
+
+They can participate in Community Hub for free, but they KNOW there's more content waiting if they subscribe.
+
+---
+
+## 🆘 TROUBLESHOOTING
+
+### **Problem: Channel still shows as accessible instead of locked**
+
+**Solution:**
+- Go back to the category permissions
+- Make sure Wanderer has View Channel = GREEN
+- Make sure Wanderer has Send Messages = RED
+- Re-sync the individual channels
+
+---
+
+### **Problem: Wanderer can't see the Fire/Frost categories at all**
+
+**Solution:**
+- Check category permissions
+- Wanderer needs View Channel = GREEN (allowed) at the category level
+- Individual channel denies come from Send Messages = RED
+
+---
+
+### **Problem: Channel shows "Sync permissions" but changes don't take effect**
+
+**Solution:**
+- Click "Save Changes" on the category first
+- Then go to the individual channel
+- Toggle "Sync permissions" OFF then back ON
+- Save again
+
+---
+
+## 📊 PERMISSION SUMMARY CHEAT SHEET
+
+| Role | View Channel | Send Messages | Access |
+|------|--------------|---------------|--------|
+| **Wanderer in Community Hub** | ✅ Green | ✅ Green | Full access |
+| **Wanderer in Fire/Frost Paths** | ✅ Green | ❌ Red | Can see, can't send (LOCKED) |
+| **Wanderer for modlog** | ❌ Red | ❌ Red | Completely hidden |
+| **Wanderer for Staff Area** | ❌ Red | ❌ Red | Completely hidden |
+

+
+## ✨ WHEN YOU'RE DONE
+
+**Ping Michael in Discord:**
+
+"@Frostystyle Wanderer permissions are configured! Fire/Frost paths are now visible but locked. Ready for testing."
+
+**Or just let him know in #staff-lounge that it's done!**
+
+---
+
+## 📝 NOTES
+
+- These are CATEGORY-level permissions that apply to all channels in that category
+- Individual channels inherit from their parent category (that's the "sync" feature)
+- If you need a channel to behave differently, you can override at the channel level
+- @everyone role permissions apply to EVERYONE including Wanderer (so be careful with those)
+
+---
+
+**Questions?** Ask Michael or Meg in #staff-lounge!
+
+**Estimated time:** 10-15 minutes
