🎮 Set Your Discord Status

Let your server know you practice NoHello by setting your custom status:

🚀 NoHello advocate - include context in messages. Learn: https://nohello.org

Server & Channel Communication

Text Channels

Each channel has a purpose. Lead with your question and context so others can quickly decide if they can help.

🎮 Gaming Tip

In gaming servers, mention the game, your issue, and what you've tried: "Stuck on level 5 boss - tried fire spells, any other strategies?"

Channel Selection

Use the right channel for your message. Check pinned messages and channel descriptions first.

Good #tech-support: "Discord won't start after Windows update. Error code 1005. Tried reinstalling."
Wrong Channel #general: "Discord won't start" (belongs in #tech-support)

Direct Messages

Personal DMs

Perfect for NoHello! Skip the greeting and get straight to your request with context.

Before "hey"
...(waiting)...
"u there?"
After "Hey! Can you help me with the raid strategy? I'm struggling with the tank rotation. Got 20 mins to chat?"

Group DMs

Give everyone context so they know if they need to engage. Consider using a server channel instead for better organization.

👥 Group Strategy

For ongoing group discussions, create a private server or use a dedicated channel instead of group DMs.

Voice Chat Preparation

Before Joining Voice

Use text chat to coordinate voice sessions and give context about what you want to discuss.

Good Setup "Jumping in voice to discuss raid strategy - need about 15 mins to plan tomorrow's run"

🎙️ Voice Etiquette

  • Announce your topic when joining
  • Use push-to-talk in busy channels
  • Mute when not speaking in large groups
  • Give a heads up before leaving

Roles & Permissions

@Role Mentions

Use role mentions sparingly and with clear context. Explain why you're pinging the entire role.

Appropriate "@Moderators spam bot in #general - user ID 123456789. Already reported."
Overuse "@Everyone anyone know how to beat this boss?"

Permission-Based Requests

When asking for role changes or permissions, explain what you need and why.

Hi [mod name] - can I get the [role name] role? I want to access [channel/feature] to [specific reason]. Thanks!

Bot Commands & Interactions

Bot Commands

When asking for help with bots, include the exact command you tried and the error you got.

Clear "Tried !play song name but bot says 'not found'. Is the command different?"
Vague "music bot not working"

Bot Setup Help

Include your permissions, what you've tried, and the specific error messages.

🤖 Bot Debugging

Check bot permissions, channel permissions, and server settings before asking for help.
