2) Not to mention, we have to consider the fact that now, promotions and demotions are now influenced by Discord. In addition, how would warnings work with the Wiki, if the offense was on Discord?

3) And what about that godforsaken @everybody ping? Would abusing that be against the rules now? Or would it still be allowed?

4) What about socks? How exactly do we defend against socks on Discord, when that lacks the stuff such as the mass-filters that Wikia has? Not to mention, when Discord has an embed feature, so any and all images are guaranteed to appear irregardless of if they're clicked?

And that's just SOME stuff, we've barely even started. It's too much of a mess that it's honestly just not worth it. It really makes it debatable as to if it's even worth having another chat outside of the Lawn, period. 1) and 2) are simple; if Discord's official, it can be discussed here and status here can be transferred there. Done.

3) We'll make rules around it.

4) I have absolutely no clue. I didn't even know that sock puppet protection was a damn thing.

And is it really not worth the while? It's a good chat with more control and more univerzalised usage. I've got no beef with Discord, and I can't see a problem with integration with the wikia. I'm not saying replace The Lawn, per say, but this is a better media of communication IMO.
