Do you need a VPN ?

YES ! A VPN allows you to be more free and protected on the internet.
With a VPN you can access all your preferred services all over the world: Netflix, Google, Amazon Prime, Disney+...

 

Know your Discord's niche

First of all, you need to know the niche of your server.

For example, if your server is a game server, you can add a rule to prevent buying, selling or trading accounts.

This way, your server will not be used for transactions.

Secondly, you must know the demographics of your members (e.g. age, interests, language).

How to create a rules channel in Discord in 2023?

To create a rules channel in Discord in 2023, you need to create a new text channel called "Rules".

Then, set the channel to read-only by accessing "Advanced Settings".

Under "Advanced permissions", uncheck the "Send messages" permission.

Once you have unchecked the "Send messages" permission, only you can send messages in the channel.

You can therefore copy and paste a list of rules into the chat.

 

How do you force people to read the rules in Discord?

To force people to read the rules in Discord in 2023, you must enable the community feature for your server.

Next, you must configure "member filtering" and add server rules.

New members joining your server must accept the rules before they can send messages to your server.

Otherwise, they will not be able to talk, react or send messages to other members on your server.
