Hello! We are SKZcord, a STAY Fanbase and Voting Team with our main headquarters operating out of our Discord server.🤍 Our goal is to maintain a safe Haven for STAY everywhere, all around the world.
SKZcord FAQ
First time using Discord?
Check out this Beginner's Guide (link) from Discord Support.
⭐ · What is SKZcord?
We are a STAY Fanbase and community that operates out of Discord. Join our server to participate in our voting and streaming teams for Stray Kids, receive updates on current voting and streaming goals, and find STAY friends!
⭐ · Do I need voting or streaming experience to join SKZcord?
No! We are exactly the kind of place you can feel safe learning how to properly vote and stream for Stray Kids. ♥︎
⭐ · Do I have to participate in voting and streaming in this server?
No. We do not require participation to join, but note that we will heavily encourage it. If you'd like to join just to socialize, that is welcomed too.
⭐ · What should I expect when I enter SKZcord?
Follow all instructions in #⚡-start-line to learn how to access our server. We will require at least one screenshot of recent proof of being STAY before acceptance.
⭐ · When I try to send my proof Discord says it is "explicit content" and won't accept it. What do I do?
This is because of a detection algorithm in Discord that mainly focuses on photo color. Try changing your proofs to black and white, or add more bold colors, and resend.
⭐ · I'm a returning member. What do I need to do to re-join SKZcord?
Welcome back! Since we haven't seen you in a while, we're asking you to follow the same process as all new joins. You will need to send more recent proofs to regain access.
Donations
We are currently only accepting permanent Mnet+ account donations.For any questions, contact us through Discord or Twitter. Thank you. 💗

Other Votings
Fan advertising projects help promote Stray Kids + individual members during their birthday, debut anniversary, comebacks, or other events. This is the bulk of voting outside of comeback and award show voting seasons.Fans also start initiatives to buy ads (e.g. STAY in China paying for ads), but a lot of these ad polls are free for the top-placing idols and groups!
Please verify that any polls you find give legitimate rewards for Stray Kids! If you're not sure about a poll, reach out to a SKZcord staff member or another STAY you trust.Check out the Tutorials page if you need voting guides!
Award Shows
Award shows are typically held at the end of the year to celebrate artists' achievements. They are important as the general population and international news outlets use these awards as one way to measure an artist's success.
⭐ · What is the difference between an award show and a song festival? (e.g. AAA, MAMA vs. Gayo Daejeon, etc.)
Award shows are established by different organizations in Korea. (e.g. Music Industry Association of Korea for the Golden Disc Awards) or the Western industry (e.g. MTV Video Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, etc.).Year-end song festivals are run by the main broadcasting companies in Korea (SBS, KBS, and MBC). These festivals also give out awards, but the focus is on the performance.
⭐ · What is the difference between a bonsang and a daesang?
Bonsang (본상, trans. “major prize”) is an award that has multiple winners. Daesang (대상, trans. “grand prize”) can only be won by one artist. Daesang is more difficult to earn since only one artist can earn it. Both are prestigious awards!
