      The spam channel can also be synonymous with a "meme" channel. It's quite common in Discord servers, as users often communicate through an array of memes which can clog up general channels with spam.

    2. It served me well while playing in Diamond elo, and should serve you well too.

      This is an appeal to ethos, as I assert the credibility of my information by using the Diamond rank I achieved in League.

      Players in the League community often look towards coaching and advice from higher ranked players, such as Diamond, Master, and Challenger in order to improve their own gameplay.

    3. The voice channels (e.g. Music, 1v1) are assigned to specific purposes with colourful, fun emojis to draw attention.

      The channel for moderators is locked, and only admins/moderators have access as they may discuss server issues among themselves. The 1v1 channel has a cap of 2 people, as it's for members who would like to play one versus one in game.

    4. Emotes that are relevant in this digital culture have been added to the server as well (e.g. :BibleThump: is a Twitch emote, and is widely used in League streams).

    5. The roles to the right-hand side help organize members and assign responsibilities to admins/moderators. Users are able to identify who they can direct their questions regarding server issues towards.

      I also utilized colours to make the server, and specifically names, more visually appealing.

    6. y’all wanna aram in a bit?[9:11 PM] KaiStudiesToday at 9:11 PMI'm down!suvuToday at 9:17 PMme too! i gots to finish this assignment first[9:17 PM] perhaps i'll get ahri this time hamjaToday at 9:17 PMsounds good just msg when you’re done !![9:17 PM] i just want 08 lucian pls

      The general channel is entirely informal, without structured entries. The purpose is for open, casual discussion among members.

      You can see an example of this here: https://discord.gg/valorant

    7. Server Rules & Info Here are some general guidelines and rules for our humble little server! Breaking these rules will result in a warning, kick, or ban from an admin/moderator depending on the level of severity. (1) This should be an unsaid rule, but: treat each other with RESPECT. There's enough disrespect and toxicity in the League community, let's keep that out of this server or there shall be dire consequences. • No threats or harassment towards members. • No offensive profile pictures or names. You know the ones. • It's all fun and games, but there will be no jokes at the expense of others: No offensive jokes of a discriminatory/sexist/racist nature. (2) Keep content in their appropriate channels: • NSFW content (e.g. the jokes we don't want our employers to see...) is strictly limited to the NSFW channel. • By all means, share music and use the array of Groovy Bot commands! Just make sure that you're doing that in the text and voice channels. • The #spam channel is for spamming memes and shitposting; go crazy, as long as you keep the crazy contained within the channel. (3) No content of an extreme graphic nature is permitted within the server (e.g. gore). (4) No excessive advertising! There's enough of that everywhere else we look. (5) Do not @everyone without reason unless you want an angry mob at your door. No seriously, don't do it. (6) No other bots. If you have questions about anything or have a concern regarding the server, please feel free to reach out to an admin! This server is pretty relaxed, all we ask is that you keep things civil , exercise common sense, and have a good time chatting with other Ahri lovers!

      Many Discord servers have separate channels for rules, unless they're small/private groups that don't require much regulation.

      The rules are listed, and bullet-points are used to delve into specific information underneath them.

    8. Standard Ahri Runes There's plenty of variety when it comes to Ahri's item build, but a solid rune page can go relatively unchanged with our beloved 9-tailed fox. Let's have a look below :(edited)suvuToday at 6:19 PM[6:23 PM] Going with the Domination rune tree helps you fulfill your role as an AP carry with burst damage. • Proc Electrocute with 3 abilities/auto attacks in quick succession to get some extra damage off. You want to take advantage of this in laning phase to get ahead. • Go with Cheap Shot as it interacts remarkably well with Ahri's crowd control ability, charm. • Eyeball Collection stacks AP and can grant bonus stats on top of that. • Ultimate Hunter allows for some very much needed cooldown reduction on Ahri's ultimate; those 3 dashes are crucial for making plays.

      I organized the text in this channel using visual elements as the nature of this channel is informational. The organized structure makes the advice easier to understand/grasp, as well as more visually appealing opposed to a block of text.

      Game tip/advice channels are common in gaming communities on Discord, though some vary in the level of formality.

      For example, this large server has much faster moving chats, and has an open discussion channel instead: https://discord.gg/lol

    1. tip from a pro: choose a seat where the projector screen is at eye level and straight ahead. craning your neck up/to the side will take its toll.

      This is both an ethical and logical appeal. The user claims to be a "pro," and their appeal is an argument based on reason as they point to the negative impact of bad body posture. Judging by the positive upvotes on his post, their rhetoric has been accepted.

    2. As a prof I'd like to add some details to your classification scheme:

      This user has made an ethical appeal, as they points to their status as a professor at the university under discussion in the post. Their appeal was accepted as their unique viewpoint in the context of this thread/subreddit brings credibility to their post. Of the 2 responses, one is directly related to the OP's ethos: "I wanna enroll in your class."

    3. Real mandem don't go to class 🙌👌🏼🙌

      This rhetor draws on pathos, as their appeal is geared towards the humour of the audience. I believe their appeal works as they utilize common slang and the appropriate emojis to convey their message. Their post also receives upvotes, opposed to downvotes (or nothing at all).

    1. An analytical, thoughtful, critical consciousness of technology.

      I agree with pushing for a more analytical, thoughtful, and critical consciousness of technology, especially as it becomes increasingly interweaved with our lives. We should think critically, as to not mindlessly consume.

    2. Although many aspects of this digital multitasking might feel new—oreven foreign—to writers who learned to write in different environments, itis clear that the work that scaffolds these tasks is similar to the “hard work”of writing in any environment.

      I may be straying to a different topic here, but "digital multitasking" caught my eye here. I had a bad habit of digitally multitasking while learning/working on assignments, as I wasn't aware of the negative impacts on our memory consolidation process.

    3. Writing, students note, is something theydo in school. What they do with computers outside of school is something else.

      I thought that this note was pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure I shared this view when I was younger.
