Troubleshooting

"You don't have permission to give/remove this role"

  • Verify you are a Game Manager for the game in question
  • Check that you're targeting the correct role name
  • For Wiki Editor: ensure the target user has a Crew/Member/Troubleshooters role for one of your games
  • For Rules role removal: ensure the user has no other game roles remaining

"Cannot remove Rules role"

  • The user must have all other game-related roles removed first
  • Remove Crew/Member and Game Manager roles before removing the Rules role

"You don't have permission to create/delete/rename this channel"

  • Verify you are a Game Manager for the game in question
  • Check that the channel is in a category that starts with your game's name
  • For example, if you manage "The Weird West", you can modify channels in categories named "The Weird West" or "The Weird West - Archives"

"Invalid channel name"

  • Text and Forum channels must use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores only
  • Use hyphens instead of spaces (e.g., "crew-lounge" not "crew lounge")
  • Voice channels can have spaces and mixed case
