Discord Account Linking - FAQ

What does linking my Discord account mean?

Linking your Discord account means associating your Crescent forums account with your Discord account. This in turn allows OpalBot, our Discord bot, to identify you on the forums, and vice versa. We need this information for features like Shoutbox and in-game integrations.

Can I join the server without linking my account?

Yes! Simply click the "Connect" button in the Discord widget above, or use the direct invite link: https://discord.gg/sbfBwRm
However, do note that by joining without linking your account, you will be limited in what you can do in the server. You can always link your account later by returning to this page!

Why are you limiting users who don't link their account?

First, as a way to protect our server from spammers, radiers, and other troublemakers, we require users to verify their identity through linking their account before getting full access.
Additionally, some features (like Shoutbox) require a link between your forum account and your Discord account in order to function properly.
Finally, we want to encourage more users to actively take part in our community, and creating a forum account is an excellent way to start.

What do I get from linking my account?

By linking your account, you also unlock full access to all of our Discord features, such as: Shoutbox channel access; Full interactions with OpalBot; The ability to create your own public/private channels; Access to external emojis; Voice activity mode in voice channels; and more.

Can I unlink or change my linked Discord account after I link it?

No. Due to the nature of how the linking system works, linking your account is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Please make sure you are linking the correct account!

I accidentally linked the wrong account! What do I do?

Nice job, genius. Please send us a support request or contact one of the staff members.

Does linking my account allows Project Crescent to access my Discord account or use it?

No! The only access our systems receive is to your Discord user information (ID, username and avatar), and the permission to add you to our Discord server automatically. No other permissions are provided, and you can confirm this with the permission list shown when you are authorizing the request on Discord's website.
