* Always speak clearly, concisely and in a normal conversational rhythm and volume. Putting some forethought into what you want to communicate will often save you from having to repeat, expand on or modify the point you want to get across. | * Always speak clearly, concisely and in a normal conversational rhythm and volume.

* Keep in mind you will be hearing a lot of different people should you join a voice channel on Discord. Consider especially language barriers and be prepared to rephrase; remember to stay polite, and try to converse with everyone as clearly as you can! If all else fails, you can clear up ambiguities and misunderstandings using in-game text chat. | * Keep in mind you will be hearing a lot of different people should you join a voice channel on [[Discord]].

* If someone is talking, try to not interrupt them by talking yourself. Be respectful and try not to raise your voice over theirs, as this can eventually make someone upset or cause confusion. Try waiting 30 seconds after joining a channel to ensure comms are open: some University comms channels are sometimes in restricted "combat comms". If using Push to Talk (PTT)—which should be the normal approach in most contexts on voice comms—then try counting to 3 before speaking; this will help reduce talking over someone. | * If someone is talking, try to not interrupt them by talking yourself.

* Watch your language. Never assume that because nobody has said anything (yet) that they are cool with the blue streak you just cursed up. You are in a public social setting; conduct yourself accordingly and within our [[Communications Policy|Communications Policy]]. | * Watch your language.

* Be aware of your airtime and be considerate of the fact that many people wish to participate. In other words, do not hog the channel! The University Discord has many sub-channels which you can use for lengthier discussions, and it might be possible to create an on-demand channel. | * Be aware of your airtime and be considerate of the fact that many people wish to participate.
