Discord

Despite being not very renowned, Photon has its own Discord server. Link can be found in the main page and here.

## Roles

The discord server has many roles, each serving differing purposes. Here are a list of the most influential ones:

### Authority Roles

* **Owner**: Owners have full control over the server, comprises of *blendigoose* and *k\_lemon*.
* **Co-Owner**: Co-owner are not owner in terms of the server's nature. But they still have full control over the server just like owner, specially reserved only for *k\_lemon*.
* **Admin**: Admins are just like owners, just one thing that they are more restricted in the impactful settings of the server, ex: Server name.
* **Moderator**: At the moment there's no applications for moderators. For you to become one you just have to gain respect of the owner/co-owner. If they're lacking moderators they can select one that tends to contribute lots to the server and just seems helpful and friendly.

### Contribution Roles

* **Testers**: Testers are players that playtests the new in-development versions. There's really no qualifications or requirements as for testers, the only way to get it is by either begging *blendigoose* or you can be selected by him, if he thinks you're a cool guy.
* **Translators**: They are contributors who helps translates photon for the upcoming version 1, in which there will be settings for language.
* **Wiki**: Wikis are people that contributes to the Photon wiki. People who are given the wiki role are also given administrator on the wiki.

### General Roles

* **Member**: Given to everyone who joins the discord.
* **Devlog Ping**: Ping when new progression on his game.
* **Artlog Ping**: Ping when a texture vote needs to be done, or to showcase a new texture.
