So, if you’re a server owner, it’s best to add a few rules and be on the safe side right from the start.
How to Add Rules to a Discord Server?
There are two ways to convey server rules to the members. They are:
Using Community Server MethodCreating a Separate Rules Channel
Using Community Server Method
With this method, you can set up a rules window for new members who joined the server for the first time. These members can only join your server if they accept the terms mentioned in the join-in window.
Step 1: Enable Community Server
Step 2: Set up Rule Screening
When you enable this feature, the rules will be displayed in a popup box. If new members agree to the rules and verify their emails, they can send a request to join the server.
Creating a Separate Rules Channel
You can create a separate channel for your rules. The channel is available to members at any time. The rules channel is similar to any normal server channel on discord. However, using the following process, we can customize this channel to only display server rules. There are three steps you need to follow to create such a channel. First, create a channel. Then, create a Webhook. Finally, embed the rules. Afterward, you can add as many rules to your channel as you prefer. These steps are individually mentioned below:
Step 1: Create the Channel
These channels are similar to any other channel. But, we will customize certain settings so that other members can’t make changes. On PC, On Android and iOS, You can find a private channel option before pressing create. Clicking on it limits the number of members who can view the channel. You can add members by pressing next. Then, click on the member you want to add and press Create. This applies to both mobile users and desktop users. It’d be best to keep it disabled if you want all your server members to view the rules channel.
Step 2: Create Webhook
Webhook creates a request to access data from a destination server. Discord does not allow you to add rules directly to a channel. You may need to rely on a third-party website to do this. The website will create embedded rules. Then, your channel will display these rules after you connect the embeds to your webhook. You can create webhooks by following the method mentioned below: By disabling Send Messages, you limit the member from messaging access to the channel. Then, only the rules you set will be displayed. Discord does not allow mobile app users to create webhooks. So, you need to open Discord in the desktop view on your phone. Afterward, the method for creating a webhook is the same as earlier.
Step 3: Assign Rules
A Discord bot is created for your channel when you connect the webhook to the third-party website. Following the steps mentioned below, you can embed the rules. Then, continue with the step to display the rules on the server channel. The process for assigning rules is the same for desktop and web browsers for mobile.
