I see there's a discord topic, but it's listed under "Member" level access... and apparently I'm not a member though I've been in the fleet/forum here for 6 years lol.

Can I get the discord link? And perhaps be made a member? Hopefully the trial/probationary period is less than six years!

It does indeed seem that you were not a member of the fleet usergroup. I can think of a number of ways that might happen by accident. I have added you and you should now have the proper member level access.

Thanks! I have added the server, though it seems I have to have a bit flipped to get full access there, too. My name on the discord is the same as here, EricBLivingston

Ah yes, that was a rare error which is worth pointing out as a reminder to Command officers. It was caused by you missing an activity check (probably the forum check) back in 2018 and getting kicked from the fleet. You were only out for a few days, because you PM'ed your VA right away and he put you back on the active roster per his discretion. However, though VA's (as do all Command members) have the power to assign people to the Fleet forum group, they don't usually do it. I am normally the one to assign members to the Fleet forum group after their security check (that is so new members can read the member access info while they wait for their VA to finish processing their application). So while you were put back on the Engineering roster and back in the Fleet in game, the Fleet forum status got missed.
