DISCSOC

DISCSOC is the name of the event where the Jannies archived and replaced most of the channels in FbiCord in order to protect the discord from the Community Guidelines update.

## History

### Catalyst

On 2nd March 2023, Discord announced they were updating their Community Guidelines. Within the new Guidelines, conversations about weapons, drugs (legal and illegal), and dangerous and restricted goods could not be had in standard channels and for these conversations to take place the channel would have to be age restricted. The Jannies lamented over how the phrasing was not specific and feared the changes would be applied to the channels retroactively so Harry and the Council came to the conclusion that it was safer to archive the whole server immediately, as the changes didn't take effect until 27th March.

### DISCSOC

On the same day, the Council took to archiving every public channel. They were all given the suffix '-archived' and replaced with channels identical in permissions and names, without the message history. In all of the new channels, the new Guidelines were to be enforced and lobby-2 and serious-debate were made age restricted so the topics could still be discussed. After the changes were implemented, Harry made an announcement discussing these changes and featuring the DISCSOC logo, where this event would get its name. Eventually, political-discussion would come to be age restricted too, along with the creation of big-boy-director for an age restricted Director exclusive channel.

### Aftermath

After a short term of confusion, the server eventually accustomed itself to it's new rules. Shortly after however, Discord announced that the change had been rolled back and age restricted channels were no longer required. Despite this, the damage had already been done and so Attorney General was given access to a select few archived channels to view, and Patreons were given viewing permissions for all previous Patreon channels.
