[AIP-60] Eliminate the Discord and Telegram One-Month Retention Policy

Author: Second Set Maze

Summary

This proposal aims to eliminate Aura's one-month document retention policy for Discord and Telegram content so that content is not deleted after 30 days and posts remain on Discord and Telegram servers and channels. Currently, content is deleted every month.

Background

Per Protocol Documentation and Discord FAQ, “Aura has a standard one month document retention policy for Discord.” Reasons for this policy are to:

1. emphasize our commitment to effective records retention
2. ensure that critical records are available to meet community needs
3. optimize the use of space
4. ensure that outdated and useless records are destroyed
5. minimize the cost of record retention
6. comply with legal requirements

Proposal

Aura community members are sophisticated and knowledgeable. Aura Discord is a place where conversations must be comfortable and encouraged. Participants use the channels to learn, educate, brainstorm, debate, and connect.

DeFi evolves rapidly, and experienced Aura members understand the importance of reflection and the value afforded from revisiting prior posts and interactions. This option and utility will be enabled by eliminating a retention policy that deletes user content every 30 days.

Our vibrant and active community can pin posts, create threads, archive channels, and utilize forum features. Aura’s savvy contributors can also employ search terms and filters when researching channels and posts.

Aura Discord has effective rules for conduct. Community participants must read and agree to these rules upon joining the server. These rules will be published to a dedicated channel so as to be accessible by server members at any time.

Specification

Should this Proposal be approved, the following changes will be implemented:

1. Aura’s retention policy will be eliminated effective immediately.
2. Discord rules will be posted and available in a dedicated channel.
