I. JONING THE LOUNGE

A. Upon joining the server, users send their MKCentral Registry account in the #mkcentral -links channel in our Discord Server. For help doing this, refer to this guide.

!verify LoungeName https://www.mariokartcentral.com/forums/index.php?members/MKCentralMemberId

*In the “https://www.mariokartcentral.com/forums/index.php?members/MKCentralMemberId” section, copy the URL circled in red from your profile page as shown in the image below.

ii. LoungeName is the name you will use in this discord server Lounge, do not use special characters other than '-._' and maximum one space character. If you are a returning player, please put you previous lounge name.

iii. MKCentralMemberId is the ID you receive upon registration to MKCentral site. (Note: member ID ≠ player ID. When copying a link, it is automatically entered, so there is no need to rewrite the link in any way.)

B. Making an alternate account to join lounge will result in a ban from lounge, and an MKCentral ban of at least 2 months. MKCentral Staff will find out if an alternate account is made, so it's highly recommended to not do so.

II. NAMES

A. If you would like a specific nickname for the scoreboard and Discord server, you can ask for that too. If you already have a rank and would like to change your name, this request can be made in #name -change-requests channel. You will have to use !rename newLoungeName command.

i. Nicknames may only contain letters (at least one), numbers, spaces, periods/full stops, hyphen or underscores. They must start and end with only letters or numbers, and must have 20 characters maximum. They also may not contain any vulgar language or impersonate another MKC user. In most cases, if your name can be used as a X (Twitter) username, you can use it in lounge. Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis.

B. Every player is allowed to request nickname changes, but after one request they need to wait 2 months to request another name change. They may request to change back to their previous Registry name at any time though, but they will still be unable to make further name change requests for 2 months.

C. Player who received Reporter Banned role are unable to request name changes.

D. A nickname request may be denied upon staff reviewal.

III. RANKING SYSTEM

A. Once a staff member has seen your account, you will be placed into one of the following ranks.

i. Everyone starts off at 750 MMR (Iron), but existing players will start at a Placement MMR.
