+# InstructLab Discord Server Guide
+
+The purpose of this document is to inform members about how to join the
+[InstructLab Discord Server](https://instructlab.ai/discord) and outline the channels available. We look forward
+to meeting everyone and welcoming you to Discord!
+
+## Overview
+
+The InstructLab Discord server can be accessed via this [invitation link](https://instructlab.ai/discord).
+
+Upon joining, you will automatically be assigned the `@Labs` role and gain access to the `#announcements` channel, as
+well as a number of the other default channels. You are welcome and encouraged to join other channels that may exist.
+
+All discussions in the InstructLab Discord server are governed by our
+[project code of conduct](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+## Opt-in Channels
+
+To ensure that users are not overwhelmed by notifications, we have a few automated channels as opt-in only. In order to
+join them, visit the `#welcome-and-rules` channels and react with the emoji corresponding to the channel you wish to
+join.
+
+Currently, these channels are:
+
+- `#receive-e2e-logs`: Pushes updates about E2E runs that take place in our GitHub CI, allowing users to watch for failures.
+
+## Moderation and Reporting Abuse
+
+We are an open, welcoming, and inclusive community and expect our members to be kind and respectful in all discourse.
+
+We take reports of harassment very seriously and will address any reports of inappropriate behavior as quickly as possible.
+
+To learn how to report abuse – and to whom you will be reporting – please see our [InstructLab Discord Moderation Guide](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/InstructLabDiscordModerationGuide.md).
+
+## Having Trouble Joining?
+
+If you are having trouble joining the InstructLab Discord server, please file an issue in the
+[community repo](https://github.com/instructlab/community/issues) so we can help you.
+
+TODO: Update with email address to get help once these are set up.
+
+## Private Channels
+
+InstructLab is an open-source project and we value defaulting to open in all of our community communications.
+However, there are some cases where discussions must happen in private. For the sake of transparency, we are documenting
+these private channels and their purposes.
+
+- `#code-of-conduct-committee` – Space for the InstructLab
+[Code of Conduct Committee](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT_COMMITTEE.md) to discuss
+any reports of harassment or other violations of the project Code of Conduct and how to respond to them.
+- `#admin` – Space for the InstructLab Server Administrators to confer privately only when
+necessary. We default to open channels and hold each other accountable to do so.

+# InstructLab Discord Moderation Guide
+
+The purpose of this document is to describe how users of the
+[InstructLab Discord server](https://instructlab.ai/discord) can report abuse within the Discord server and to provide
+server administrators with an easy-to-use guide for channel moderation.
+
+## Reporting Abuse
+
+Should any community members using the InstructLab Discord server feel that they have experienced behavior that violates
+our [project Code of Conduct](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), they are welcome
+and encouraged to contact the members of the
+[Code of Conduct Committee](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT_COMMITTEE.md) for help.
+Mentioning `@dog-watch` will notify all members of the moderation team so that they can assist you.
+
+In the event that you do not receive help within a timely fashion – and we will do our very best to respond right away –
+you can ask for help from the server admins by either joining the `#ask-an-admin` channel or mentioning `@admins`. If
+you feel that it is a personal matter, you can also ping one of the people with the role of `#dog-watch` directly.
+
+## Moderation Guide
+
+Moderation activities can only be performed by users who are designated as server administrators (i.e. `@dog-watch`/
+`@lead-retriever`).
+
+## Server Administrators
+
+At the time of writing this, anyone with either the `@dog-watch` or `@lead-retriever` role is considered to be a
+moderator or administrator respectively.
+
+\+ Members of the
+[Code of Conduct Committee](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT_COMMITTEE.md)
+
+## How We Moderate
+
+### Deleting Inappropriate Comments
+
+Upon a report of abuse to the [Code of Conduct Committee](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/COCC.md)
+or, alternatively, if needed to the server administrators due to a coverage gap, the appropriate parties will assess
+the situation.
+
+The first step will be to remind individuals to abide by the [project Code of Conduct](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+Inappropriate or offensive messages will be deleted. To delete a message, simply click on the three vertical dots that
+appear when you hover over a message, or on mobile simply tap and hold on a message, and then click the **Delete**
+button:
+
+![Delete Message](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instructlab/community/main/public/images/discord_delete_message.png)
+
+Deleting a message shall be done at the sole discretion of the Code of Conduct Committee and/or server administrators.
+
+### Removing Server Members
+
+Admins should consider first removing the offending person's messages from the channel in which the unacceptable
+behavior occurred and having a conversation with them via Direct Message (DM) to remind them of their responsibilities
+to abide by the [project Code of Conduct](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) as
+part of their participation in the InstructLab community.
+
+If a user is a repeat offender, after being warned, their account can be
+[kicked/banned](https://whop.com/blog/how-to-kick-someone-from-a-discord-server/) by an admin, depending on the
+situation.
+
+For more details on moderating a Discord server, please refer to the following guides:
+
+- [How to kick someone from a Discord server](https://whop.com/blog/how-to-kick-someone-from-a-discord-server/)
+- [Auto Moderation in Discord](https://discord.com/safety/auto-moderation-in-discord)
+
+#### Banning a Member's Account
+
+If you feel that a community member is violating the
+[InstructLab Code of Conduct](https://github.com/instructlab/community/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), please reach out
+to the server moderators or the Code of Conduct Committee to receive further assistance.
