This is a set of discord suggestions that I thought I would collate.
1 - A Bot
This has been suggested dozens of times before and I'm going to say it again. There should be a bot on the discord server. It doesn't matter too much if it is custom or one from online. If they do use one from online I strongly recommend Dyno. It has an easy user interface and has strong moderation and other utilities. In general though there needs to be a bot that does this:
- Warnings - Messaging people when they are warned, keeping a far better log of them, etc.
- Bans - Keep track of bans far more easily.
- Mute - The abilitiy to mute a user in chat for a specified amount of time
There are a few other things that it would be extremely useful to do which I will bring up later in the thread.
2 - Music Bot
This could either be implemented within a custom discord bot or via a premade one but a music bot would be useful. There would need to be a music specific channel and the bot would be restricted from entering any of the other channels. This could be used for just listening to music, as well as for karaoke events. Anyone who plays songs containing inappropriate language or attempts to troll using the bot will be punished.
3 - Event Coordinators
The event coordinators would be a group of people responsible for running events on the discord server. These events would vary depending on what they are but would likely end up running in a similar style to the community games. There could be game events, karaoke events, etc. The application process could be managed by an event-director which could be an event coordinator or a staff member. Applying would be similar to applying for helper as you would have to fill out a google form with information about the event you would like to run etc. This would then be looked over as well as general behaviour but mostly if the event could/couldn't be run.
4 - Smaller/Private Voice Chats (Suggested by @SnowyWarz)
These would be smaller voice chats for people to go into and play or talk in smaller groups of say 3-5. These would be a first come, first serve thing and there would be around 3 of these channels.
5 - Voice-Text Channel
This is something I have seen on almost every single discord server with voice channels. The purpose of the voice-text channel is for those who do not own a microphone or do not like talking but want to join voice. They can instead just join a voice channel and chat there instead. There is no reason not to have this as it wont clutter anything up and would be useful for those who can not or do not want to talk by voice while in voice channels.
6 - Ping Fixes
Often after doing an @ everyone ping it gets stuck for some people. This is known as a "ghost ping". This is a known bug from discord and so far the only known way of fixing it is to post another, non-ping message into the channel. Multiple people have complained about seeing ghost pings on cube yet they refuse to post ping fixes in the announcement channel. There is literally no reason not to and it is extremely useful. They can be deleted afterwards so as to not clutter the channel.
7 - Roles
Currently the only way to get a role on the server is by becoming a staff member. I suggest that there should be roles for things like region, language, gender etc. This would help people to talk to other people and for people to know how to communicate with other people. These roles could either be done using a command in the bot or by using a reaction role system. Both would require a bot to function.
8 - Rules and FAQ Revamp
Currently the rules and the FAQ on the server are extremely vague. Compared to the rules and FAQ threads on the forums there is very little detail and lots of information missing. There should be a channel for the rules as well as a general FAQ channel with information on all the commonly asked things in the discord server. There should then finally be a channel with a huge list of threads for things like guides and FAQ threads. This would likely reduce the number of people asking commonly asked questions in chat.
9 - Topic Channels
There should be a category containing channels that all focus on a specific topic. These could be cubecraft related topics, such as discussing suggestions or threads, or just general topics, such as animals or STEM topics. Any off-topic discussion would be redirected to another channel but as long as you keep remotely related to the topic you can discuss it there.
10 - Minecraft and Discord Account Linking
This has also been suggested dozens of times but there should be a way to use the bot to link your minecraft account to your discord account. This would give you a role depending on the rank you have which could be coloured. This would also let other people see your username to invite you to parties as well as being able to create a bio which includes other information.
11 - Activity Roles (ty @Lexply)
These would be roles that would be given along with activity. The more active you are, the higher rank you get. This lets you get higher up on the member list, global emotes etc. These could also be given by staff discretion.
Thanks for reading this far through if you did. Please give me some feedback below as I will have made some mistakes in places and there will be flaws with all of them.
