Old rule:
16. No advertising or posting of Discord channels or usernames.

New rule:
16. No advertising or posting of Discord channels. You may share your Discord username only.

While Discord is still imho a huge threat to the community I can't deny that it's a popular service members already use.  So if you share your Discord username there will be no warnings or penalties.  However, we still strongly advise against using Discord to make deals and you should insist on an HF Contract before doing any deals.  Using Discord is going to greatly increase the likelihood you'll get scammed.

Thank you.

Man, what a guy.
I am pleasantly surprised with this change of policy.

Yay! I use discord all of the time. This will save me a quick PM.

hopefully nobody will get scammed.

Duly noted.

Hopefully those who use the marketplace are still smart enough to keep deals on site.

For those who plan to use discord for deals, still read this thread: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5953973

Interesting change. Hopefully, we don't see a spike in scam attempts in the next few weeks.

Nice update Omni. Hopefully people will listen and keep deals on-site.

[Lavish Living]

Everyone add my discord now!


Thanks

Yeah still people i would highly suggest if your using it for MP reasons to use anything other than discord due to the chatlogs can easily be faked!
Skype is the way!

[Kosmos]

Not a bad idea, honestly. Thank you for the transparency you have with us, Reddit isn't even this transparent with its members.

[int]

not bad, i would say this could preserve forum popularity as compared to discord groups

[Zexi]

I bet Staff is gonna get a break from "Advertising Competing Sites" reports finally lmao

On a more serious note i suggest people still avoid doing deals over Discord and always use contracts in case they do.

We see enough idiots coming and crying on HF how they been scammed on Discord. :)

[SoulZeh]

I thought this might of happened eventually due to you trying out Discord previously, also seems like everyone is loving the new Policy, good job.

Glad to see this! Should be interesting to see it's effects in the coming weeks.
