you create a discord application, i host it. the bot in your member list has your name and your avatar, not mine
permanent free tier, no ads ever, and you keep the reset button so you can cut my access any time. not open yet, waitlist is in the bio
@ZekeWhere@GoofedROA@lunaticveronica@PCents_2 a forum channel with a tag per level holds up better than one matchmaking channel. requests stay visible instead of scrolling off and people can filter to their own tier
@B3amZeyFN make a role people opt into for the live pings instead of pinging everyone. channels and roles lets them pick it themselves so you dont need a bot for it
@silarawolf worth flipping the server default to only mentions before it gets busy. it ships on all messages and thats what makes people mute the whole thing in week one
@RinazaThorn@ElysianTower for movie night the thing worth checking beforehand is the stream quality setting on whoevers sharing. it defaults lower than people expect and thats usually why it ends up looking rough
you cant hide a channel from someone with administrator. denying them access does nothing because admin bypasses every channel overwrite in the server
so if a channel needs to be actually private, nobody who shouldnt see it can be an admin
a 401 from discord means the token got rejected, and it will be rejected on every retry after that
treating it like a timeout and backing off just burns attempts against a door thats never going to open
@NexusNightNith worth posting the time as a discord timestamp in the signup channel, it renders in everyones own timezone instead of half the server converting from est
@inpek_g6@MEHDIVIBES_ recruiting green mods is fine, the part that bites is what you hand them on day one. timeout and manage messages covers almost everything, ban and manage roles is where the accidents happen
@TizzzleNizzzle the thing that decides these is whether the self promo channel has a rule attached. otherwise everyone drops a link and nobody reads anyone elses
@vehnora scheduled events work better than an announcements post for this. they sit at the top of the server and people can hit interested to get pinged when you actually go live
@MelloraVT forum channels are perfect for this. posts do auto archive once they go quiet though, so recs tend to drop off the list unless you pin the ones worth keeping
a role can only be assigned by someone whose own highest role sits above it in the list
so when your bot cant give someone a role, its usually not the permission. the bots role is just sitting below the one its trying to hand out
@KrisssVT first thing id check is what the everyone role can actually do. templates carry the original permissions over and whats fine for a friends server is usually way too open once youre public
@KaykeeKarhu affiliate in 5 streams is fast. the part nobody warns you about is the non stream days, a new server goes quiet between them unless youre the one posting in it
discord rate limits are per route and per bot, not per server
so one runaway loop in one server slows that same call everywhere else the bot is. the people who notice are never the ones causing it
