Thanks to Discord for the inspiration. Check out their articles too!

Bugs are unintended behaviour in-game or in one of our discord servers that diminish a user's experience. Think of the game crashing unexpectedly, or you not being able to see your XP! These sort of bugs have their place in the server. While we can not help you fix the issue, or how to avoid running into the issue altogether, we made this server so that our engineers can work faster and better on removing the bugs!
When these issues pop up, we want to make sure we track these bugs down, flag the issues to our engineering team, and have our engineers fix them as soon as possible in order to make your British Army experience as smooth as possible!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As a member of BA Testers, our main goal is to locate, reproduce, and report high-quality bugs!
When you have grown in your expertise in bug hunting, you have the ability to "rank up", and help us test and sort all incoming bugs.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
To better explain what we do in the server we'll explain how the server is set up and how to gain access to the different channels
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When you join the server you have access to our information and resources channels. Here you'll find the rules, how to get started on the server, and links back to the help centre where you can find various pieces of information.
To see more channels you'll have to pass the entry quiz and become a Bug Hunter.
To start reporting bugs you will need to get yourself some platform roles. These roles give access to the corresponding platform category where you can talk about the bug you are experiencing and where you can report it. Check out Role Commands on how to add these roles.
BA Testers is separated into categories based on what type of client you use. For example, if you primarily use our Discord Server on Android you would want to add the Android role to see the relevant announcements, client chat, and reporting channels.
Each platform category has an announcements channel, a client chat, and a reports channel. Announcements for each platform are made in the platform announcement channel. The client chat is used for chatting about the issue you are experiencing and whether or not this is a bug. In the reports channel you can find accepted bugs, submit your bug or let us know you can reproduce a bug.
As you tier up within the server you gain access to new channels such as the reporting queue and the bug chat. More information in the Bug Squasher+ FAQ.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The main reason why we're all here; to report bugs. To report bugs you will need to send in a bug report with details about the bug that you have found. After you've successfully submitted your bug it will be put into the approval queue where bug squashers and up will review and test the bug.
A bug will need 1 approval or 1 denial for it to be accepted or denied. Once the bug has passed review, the bot will send you a direct message if your report was accepted or denied. If your bug is approved it will be moved to the platform reporting channels and if denied you’ll be messaged by the bot just like you'll receive a message when it's accepted.
To actually do this, you will have to run the /bug command in the server. It's also a good idea to make sure you have your privacy settings set accordingly so BA Automation can send you Direct Messages!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a user submits a bug, we want to get the following information:
Title - A short description of the bug in one sentence.
Platform - Either Discord or Roblox, depending on where the bug is.
Reproduction Steps - Step by step how to make the bug happen
Expected Result - What should happen
Actual Result - What happens instead
Client settings - Depending on if it's a game bug or discord bug, the game version / discord build & version
System settings - Operating system, for a phone the device + os version, for a pc the os version
Please avoid describing bugs simply as glitchy, weird, and broken. These words are not very descriptive and don't explain what is going on. More information on how to submit a bug report in How to report a bug FAQ.

For bug hunting we have 6 different tiers:
Tier 0 - @everyone, no roles
Tier 1 - Bug Hunters
Tier 2 - Shiny Hunter
Tier 3 - Bug Squashers
Tier 4 - Bug Trackers
Tier 5 - Bug Terminators
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The @Moderators keep the server clean and help users.
The @Bug Admins help the Engineers & Program Lead keep track of bugs and help on deciding whether a bug should be accepted.
BA Testers Program Staff work on getting the bugs to the right people and keep the server going.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
So how do you take a step up that ladder and get access to the approval queue and more fancy stuff?
Each tier has requirements that need to be met before you rank up. We do not give out the exact numbers for bug reporting however your interactions with bugs are tracked. Once you hit the requirements you get your new tier. We do not tell you how much you need to exactly get but the bot will keep track of all the things you do.
No role → Bug Hunter: pass the quiz
Bug Hunter → Shiny Hunter: reporting bugs
Shiny Hunter → Bug Squasher: reporting bugs and good use of the approval queue
Bug Squasher → Bug Tracker: reporting bugs and good use of the approval queue, maintained activity and successfully completing a quiz
Bug Tracker → Bug Terminator: reporting bugs or helping out on focus tests, maintained activity
But first things first, becoming a Bug Hunter. See what we expect from you as a Bug Hunter.
