There are a few ways to approach this, given the nature of Discord.
For instance, there's the high level summary:
On May 13th, the question of the day prompt was around creating characters for the band members to join in on your D&D session. A standout response was by user @Snowytiger who created an original black and white illustration of Trent as a wizard (link). Trent was thrilled with the image, responding "now THAT'S what the fuck i'm talking about! Exactly why we started this server! Bravo." and changing his profile picture from Sinistar to a cropped version of the image. Further conversation tuned to how the image would make a great airbrushed side to a van, and Trent revealed as a kid he had the AMT KISS Custom Chevy Van model kit and one day dreamed of having his own cool van. When prompted as to if he had that van now, he replied "Some dreams may best remain dreams..."
You could further document this by showing the individual messages in text form:
TR: now THAT'S what the fuck i'm talking about!
TR: Exactly why we started this server! Bravo.
superboredom: It's side of a conversion van worthy artwork
TR: I had this model as a kid and dreamed of a day when I could own a real one with cool band artwork on the side...
dcpally: Well do you have one now??
TR: Some dreams may best remain dreams...
Or actual screenshots of the message w/ reactions:

OK, guys, I've been talking to @Corona Radiata (aka Broskirose), and he would like a second chance to participate in our community.
He admits that he acted like a bit of an asshole in the previous incident regarding Kraw. We agreed that it would be best to not dredge it up and re-litigate it, and he would like to post and participate like a normal member. So, I would appreciate it if you all would give him a chance and not bring up that stuff either.
Please no. He had a bunch aliases here. This is a mistake. You only need to look at the first couple pages of Reports and Suggestions to see all of them typing the same shit. It was him and he fucking knows it. It was far from just the Kraw nonsense.
Next you’re going to tell me Jeff Scott feels realllll bad too.

I directed you and others to it. He’s Digital Villain, Bad Witch, and Jughead. I’ll say it again—There’s threads full of evidence in Reports and Suggestions. This was figured out awhile back.
You’re falling for an act.
i think just high level text summaries will work. no images. stuff that’s noteworthy, like scoring a film but not messaging ordering pizza for you if you guess who’s film. even if that’s included, that’s fine too. i posted a few summaries i took from this thread here: https://www.theninhotline.com/news/permalink/1652403551
you can see i added direct links to posts when i could. the desktop discord interface works great for searching for trent’s posts (i swear i’ll search for atticus soon). that’s where i found the ability to direct link to them. after that i found it’s in the app too. i was going to try to keep track of band activity on my phone but i’m not on discordance enough and i know a lot of you are. it would help so much in the long run.
thank you @bgalbraith and thanks again to anyone who wants to contribute.
What kind of times/time zones do the “officials” tend to chat in? I might try to drop in more but it’s pretty quiet in GMT mornings for example. Ta
Oh shit, I missed that he was into that Rosalia record! That's such a good album.
I did not enjoy that album at all. Maybe I need to listen to it again. I liked her first album but this is quite different.
Ok I have begrudgingly started using discord (to aquire rare Jackass related content), how do I get in on this NIN party?
Looks like the band had some adventures getting to FL

There was a time when this coupled with the travel shenanigans would have set off our dude.

This is like the IRC.
I got an authentication error notice and had to file a ticket, was helped immediately by someone really nice.
Or just uninformed? Look who wrote “Suck” (“Track Listing”).
The person seemed to think Reznor was doing a “version” of a Pigface song, but Reznor co-wrote that Pigface song while contributing to songs on that Pigface album (“Gub”). Which this person just didn’t know and Reznor evidently didn’t feel like explaining. Which doesn’t necessarily make this person dumb. Just kinda late to the party, so to speak? But us sitting here shit-starting is doing exactly what Reznor asked this person NOT to do?

Yes, not everyone knows everything with regards to the lore of NIN so best not to be elitist (not accusing just stating generally) - It's this kind of attitude that can drive people away. Be welcoming, offer assistance. Educate with fun facts. Be nice!
I can understand TR being in "i ain't got time for shit", "airports are hell", "i got a show to perform", "it's time to kick ass" mode, so i imagine that was a careful warning just in case.
I think it can be really difficult sometimes to gauge the full context of someone's intent in such a drive-by fashion when it comes to Discord.
