Common IT Problems and Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome! Here you can find solutions to some commonly encountered problems and questions that may arise when setting up our IT services.
If you can't find your problem here, makes sure to also check the Known IT Service Issues page.
Common Setup Problems
These are problems that you may encounter when first setting up our IT Services.
Can't Apply for Slack
If you don't see the Slack service in the dropdown, it either means that you have an invalid token or (more likely) that Core doesn't yet recognize you as a member of Brave.
Solution
Ensure all your characters have valid tokens on Core. If you don't have the member group listed on the right, hit Update Character on a Brave Character. If the member group doesn't appear, you'll have to wait up to an hour and try again.
Can't Join Channels or Talk on Mumble
Our Mumble server is publicly accessible, however only Brave members can access most channels. If you find yourself unable to join Standing or Fleet channels, it either means that you have an invalid token or (more likely) that Core doesn't yet recognize you as a member of Brave.
Solution
Ensure all your characters have valid tokens on Core. If you don't have the member group listed on the right, hit Update Character on a Brave Character. If the member group doesn't appear, you'll have to wait up to an hour and try again. Once you have the member group, head over the Mumble service page on Core and hit the Update Account button, then re-log Mumble.
Can't Login to the Moons Site
The Moons Site uses an older method of determining your character's affiliation, which can only be pulled once a week.
Solution
All you can really do in this instance is wait for the site to recognize you. It updates once a week over the weekend.
Common Other Problems
Invalid Tokens EveMail
Core will send out an EveMail if it detects that one or more of your tokens has gone invalid.
Solution
Login to Core. Re-add any characters with Invalid Token notices using the Add your other characters by logging in with EVE SSO login button. Note that if the problem token was your main, the initial login will have fixed it.
Slack Removal Message
If you're no longer eligible for a Slack Account, you'll receive a message from Corebot stating: "You may've left Brave, done something naughty, or not fixed an invalid ESI token in the proper time period."
Solution
Login to Core. Re-add any characters with Invalid Token notices using the Add your other characters by logging in with EVE SSO login button. Note that if the problem token was your main, the initial login will have fixed it. Verify that the member group is present on the right.
Send a message to #brave-it-services-support verifying that you've done the above to avoid removal. If you didn't get to it in time, follow the instructions below to reactivate your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
Reactivating a Slack Account
If you're a returning member or had your Slack Account deactivated due to a problem with your Core Account, you can have it reactivated.
Solution
Follow the standard instructions to Setup a Slack Account. Enter the same email that was assigned to your deactivated account.
Note that Slack Accounts cannot be relinked to different Core Accounts. Also, if you deleted the character linked to your Slack Account while it was deactivated, it may not be able to relink. In both these cases, your account will be immediately marked for removal upon reactivation. If this occurs, send a message to #brave-it-services-support requesting assistance.
Removing a Character from Core
You are expected to maintain valid tokens on Core for all characters that you control, regardless of whether or not they're joining Brave. Characters can be removed from Core for two reasons: If the character has been deleted, or if the character has been transferred to another player through the Character Transfer Process.
Note: Deleting or transferring your main character can cause problems with your service accounts. Reach out to #brave-it-services-support before doing so.
Solution
Deleted characters are automatically removed within 24 - 48 hours.
To have a transferred character removed, send a message to #brave-it-services-support on Slack including either a link to the Character Bazaar post (if applicable), or a screenshot of the character's in-game corporation history showing a transfer (it will be shown below your corporation history).
