Currently, when a new player joins the discord, they are greeted with a single channel, the rules page. Sounds normal, right? Well, **new users do not have permission to view “message history” of the rules, giving a blank channel.** Basically, new joiners have no instructions on how to access the rest of the server and they are stuck, unable to participate.

Edit: Turns out a critical bot (altdentifier) was just down at the time.
