What is a workbench?

Fanart from TubularBells, a member of our server.

In our server, we have over forty channels called 'workbenches.' They are owned by individual members of the server, and each respective owner has special permissions within their workbench. We've put together a Q&A to answer some commonly asked questions about these channels. If you have any further questions, pop into the server and ask! Our community is always happy to help :)

What is a workbench?

A workbench are a safe space for working on personal projects (whether DCMK related or not).

Who can get a workbench?

If you have agreed to the rules of the server and have obtained the Reader role, you can ask for a workbench.

How can I get a workbench?

Go to #ask-a-mod and ping a moderator or an admin to request a workbench. Be sure to include what name you'd like on it. (For Kencha, his is #kenchas-workbench while PhantomsEcho's workbench is #phantoms-workbench.) Once your workbench is set up, the moderator or admin will ping you and you'll have the whole place to yourself.

What permissions do I have in my workbench?

These are the permissions you have only in your workbench. If any of these powers are abused, permissions may be revoked for a time.

What can I post in my workbench?

Because workbenches are part of the server, all rules still apply within them. Posting content and messages that violate our rules is not allowed, no matter who owns the workbench. Aside from those standards, any content may be posted in your own workbench. Snippets of the last chapter, a sketch, or maybe just a ramble about your day. Discord has a culture of using the right channels for the right topic, so please consider your workbench's topic to be you and your work.

In regards to interacting in anothers' workbench: remember that the workbench is their safe space. Be kind and respectful. If they're showing off their work-in-progress, give them a little love!

Can I post NSFW/ 18+ content?

If you are planning to post NSFW content in your workbench, please contact a moderator or admin so they can mark your workbench as a NSFW channel. Do not post NSFW content in another person's workbench without explicit permission.

Those who have a workbench that is flagged as 18+ will have this 🚨 emoji in the bench's channel name. They are free to post NSFW content without hiding it behind spoiler tags. If you wish to post NSFW content in a workbench not labelled 18+, such content must be spoiler marked.

My question wasn't answered here. Where/who can I get answers from?

If you have any further questions, we have #ask-a-mod to ask the mod team questions directly, or you can ask in #lounge if you'd prefer to ask the general public.
