Ownership and claiming

Every room has exactly one owner: the member who joined the creator channel and got the room built for them. The owner is named at the top of the control panel, and the panel answers to them and to moderators (anyone with Manage Channels in that room).

Ownership is not decoration. It decides who may rename the room, cap it, lock it, hide it, and throw people out of it.

One room at a time

A member owns at most one room per server. Joining the creator channel while you already own a room does not build a second one, FlaviBot moves you back into the room you already have, whichever creator channel you joined.

If your room has vanished from Discord in the meantime, for instance a moderator deleted it by hand, joining the creator channel builds you a fresh one as normal.

Transfer ownership

Transfer ownership opens a member picker and hands the room to whoever you choose. The panel is redrawn with the new owner's name, and from that click on they are the one the buttons answer to.

The person you pick has to be in the room. Handing a room to someone who is not there would leave it with an owner who is not around to use it, so FlaviBot refuses and nothing changes.

Transferring gives up your own room, which means the one room rule no longer holds you: rejoin the creator channel afterwards and you get a brand new room of your own.

Claim channel

Rooms outlive their owners. The owner leaves, three people are still talking, and the room now belongs to somebody who is not there. Claim channel is how the people still inside take it over.

Claiming succeeds when both of these are true:

• You are in the room. Pressing it from anywhere else answers "Join the channel first to claim it".
• The owner is not. While the owner is still connected the answer is "The owner is still in the channel, you can only claim an abandoned channel".

There is no waiting period and no vote. The first person inside an abandoned room who presses the button gets it, the panel is redrawn with their name, and every other control is theirs from that moment.

Claiming a room you already own does nothing, it just confirms that it is yours.

When the room ends

The room is deleted as soon as the last member leaves it, whether or not the owner is that last member. There is no timer to configure and no grace period: an empty room is a deleted room.

Everything in it goes with it, including the messages in its text chat and the control panel itself. If people want to keep something that was posted in a room, they have to move it out before the room empties.
