Common Discord Incident Response Actions

An accompanying visual walkthrough for the Discord Incident Response Checklist.

alp1n3.eth ๐ŸŒฒ

@Jon_HQ wrote a great guide on performing incident response for a Discord server and I'm attempting to compile this information in one big handy guidebook currently which can be found here. It's a work-in-progress, so don't go too hard on me! It's meant to be an incident response checklist though, so to keep it as simple as possible I'm putting all of the "steps" there, while putting the actions associated with those steps here so that there is a visual guide in case someone hasn't performed these actions before. Ideally there would be tabletop exercises to train the community managers / individuals in charge of the Discord server, but it never hurts to have a backup!

This article will be continuously updated as the incident response checklist mentioned above changes.
