Notice - Leaving CRW

Discord is an instant messaging platform separate from the Consumer Rights Wiki website.

It has its own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy agreements, with elements that may be considered violations of consumer rights including its forced arbitration and class action waiver terms. More info is available on the CRW Discord page.

✅ OK, take me to the CRW Discord server

I don't want to use Discord. Do I have to?

No. If you have general questions about the wiki (editing, discussing sources, etc), you can use the search bar at the top to see if your question has been answered already. If you didn't find anything, you can make a new section at the Moderators' noticeboard (A link is also available on the left sidebar.)

So why the Discord link?

Discord is a common platform used by many people to connect and collaborate with each other in real time, and many people already have accounts on it. While it is not a perfect platform, a more suitable platform that can replicate its instantaneous, organized conversation has not yet been agreed upon.

There is an ongoing discussion for the main page on possible platform alternatives: Please add cautions to discord link
