Discord Rules & FAQ

Our Missions:

To provide a platform to quickly and efficiently share open source intelligence. To help facilitate easy access to accurate information that would otherwise be unavailable to the general community due to its obscurity, or because it is hidden behind misinformation.

Rules:

There may be situations not covered by the rules or times where the rule may not fit the situation.
If this happens the moderators are trusted to handle the situation appropriately. If you have a complaint about a staff member you may submit the complaint here: https://www.globalnews.watch/discord-complaint/

Do not ping @ mention staff roles
If there are no staff members around, please mention a moderator or 2 before tagging all users within the role
Exception: true emergency (spammers, debate getting out of control, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

:rotating_light:
Single civilian event such as mass casualty or high police response. Or, sporadic kinetic events, 1-3 events per hour; lasting no longer than 12 hours before decrease, dependent on event.

:rotating_light::rotating_light:
Sustained kinetic event, multiple occurrences per hour; arbitrary timelines established; potential for significant actions in next 24 hours, decreases after 12 hours if no event

:rotating_light::rotating_light::rotating_light:
Significant kinetic event increasing from :rotating_light::rotating_light:; full mobilizations; established deadlines by heads of state/governments; ultimatums like ‘shock and awe,’ not ‘this is your red line.’

It’s the happening con, here’s what the different colors mean:

Green
Things are relatively quiet for the time being. This doesn’t mean the world is at peace, just that it is functioning in the general way we see as normal.

Yellow
There are events occurring of a significant nature that you can peruse or be a part of discussing should you wish. Every pair of eyes and ears means another brain behind them to confirm, deny, and share. When we post updates, you are a part of that.

Orange
Multiple serious events are happening in the world which are vastly being monitored.
This is used when climax has not reached full potential yet, but, the events that occur form a major concern towards the worlds health in all its forms.
The orange globe was added in October 2020 and is the first change to the globe system since its creation.

Red
A significant event is occurring in real time with major actions. This is when you want to be here.

News, world events, global and regional conflicts, and other ‘happenings’ attracts a very wide and globally diverse crowd, many of whom are actively contributing to the intelligence gathering needed on the ground. While we wont ban anyone for a mildly spicy Rare Pepe, we do understand that given the nature of the audience and the events at hand, conversations and discourse can rapidly break down into a flame war and tarnish or breakup the community all together. We ask that if you’re here for the memes, that you check other Discord servers and image boards.

On the contrary, most of the staff originally got together over the SkyKang threads on 4chan. Some of us even check out happening threads on some image boards time to time. What we at GNW take issue with is some of the reactionary posting and childish hot takes that distract from our mission statement. If you want to share this community with your favorite image board, that is perfectly fine. If you want to post a rare Spurdo that doesn’t violate the rules, then more power to you. If you want to discuss how ‘Hitler did nothing wrong’ or how George Soros is paying the moderation team to spread Jewish propaganda, then save us a ban and leave.

We keep dorn porn, satire, frequently wrong accounts, and those who rush to be the first on a blacklist, whenever the account or website link is posted it is automatically deleted, if you post it 3 times then you will end up muted for 10 minutes. Here is the list of accounts currently on the blacklist:
