For Staff - How to make announcements

[RobotMonkeyHead]

Whether or not you use the banner feature from the Moderator CP to make an announcement, the body text of any and all announcements made on the forum should be put into a post on this forum. If you do make a banner, it should then link to the post here for posterity.

The sidebar widget on the front page will show the 3 most recent announcement topics created in this sub-forum, so for minor announcements it's fine not to use the banner feature and just create a post here. Doing it this way will create a log of all announcements made on the site.

Permissions here allow members to respond to announcements, but only admins and g-mods are able to create them. Also, any new topics started here (not replies) will automatically post on our Discord server's announcements channel.

Thanks!
