Discord

Discord in CIT is used for two main things:

joining the official CIT Discord server
linking group or squad chats to a Discord server

It also includes tools for replying to Discord private messages in game, unlinking chat syncs, and unlinking your Discord account from CIT.

Command	Use	Notes
`/discord`	Opens `CITbot - Discord Server Panel`. Also use it to unlink your Discord account from CIT.	Choose group or squad chat services, `Register Account`, or `Official Discord Server Invite`. Account unlinking is separate from unlinking a chat sync.
`/dverify`	Starts Discord verification.	Enter the code as `.dverify CODE` in a CIT Discord server, or use `/discord > Register Account`.
`/ignore`	Blocks a sender's Discord private messages.	To disable all Discord PMs, use `Receive PM's from Discord` in `/settings > General > MISCELLANEOUS`.
`/disre <message>`	Replies to the most recent Discord private message.	Send the reply from in game.
