Basically, you're confined to the no-fun welcome channel zone—forever in slow mode—until you prove you can behave yourself, at which point Denuvo will elevate you to "Verified Player" status and let you get into the meme, chat, and dev Q&A channels.

And this, friends, is why so many businesses are closing their forums and other public facing, indexed spaces and using Discord. It's a black box that they can gatekeep. No complainers allowed to kill the "vibe", no publicly searchable database that will keep track of what has been deleted, and no visibility for the negativity to the general public doing a Google search on the product.
