IPolynesian Discord

IPolynesian Discord refers to the Discord server created by Yoshi Askharoun in January 2017. The server was first made for the freshmen class of the time (Class of 2020) to be used as a communication platform for That's Infotainment!. However, Yoshi soon saw potential for the platform and began to invite students that were not freshmen. Almost a year later, the server has over 50 roles and many collections of categories for various topics. The invite link is discord.io/ipoly-discord.

Some statistics of the server can be found at the statistics portal.

Students
Before students can access most channels, they must verify themselves as current IPoly students via the Student Verification Form. This is to prevent non-IPoly students from joining the server. Students have access to any channels relevant to them, such as class and club channels.

Executives
Executives are teachers and other staff that have joined the server. Unlike students, they are not required to submit a Student Verification Form. Instead, they must email an Admin or Moderator stating that they have joined the server using an official email address, such as their "@ipolyhighschool.org" or "@lacoe.edu" addresses. Executives may also let an Admin or Moderator know they have joined by letting them know in person, though this is not recommended. In any case, Executives should include their Discord username so the Admins and Moderators know who to give the Executive role to.

Executives only have access to "#everyone" and any "#school-stuff" channels. However, if an Executive is the staff adviser for a group that is present on the server, they may have access to the appropriate channels.

Channels
Every class has their own category with a set of channels. For example, there is a category named "Class of 2021" that has text channels named "general-2021", "school-stuff-2021", "gaming-2021", and "garbage-2021", each with a matching voice channel. Before June 6, 2018, members were organized by grade level only (i.e. Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior categories instead of Class of 2020, Class of 2021, etc.). After a final vote of 9 for, 3 against, and 2 abstaining, the current system was put into effect.

On top of the class channels, there are categories for various clubs. Apart from the obligatory #general chat, each club may have extra, more specialized channels. For example, the Fantasy Club category includes channels for each of the four Hogwarts houses. Although most categories are for either classes or clubs, others are just for groups. The oldest example of this is the category for Team Overcock. Any verified member of the server may request a group category.

Rules
Offences against these rules will result in a notification and a strike. Each strike has a point value, which varies depending on the rule broken. These points are also deducted from the user's schmeckle count. Once a user reaches 10 points, they will be kicked from the server and the strikes will clear. Only Admin Council can ban users as a last resort.
