Discord Once again, a discord suggestion compilation

Discord Suggestion Compilation:

Hey folk, recently I was passively thinking about some ideas for the discord and thought it was worth another suggestion thread because why not.

1 – Custom discord bots
Oh come on, we know that there is already a bot that can run. Shouldn’t take too much effort to finish off coding it to add in some basic features related to CubeCraft specifically like messages reminding people to use the reports site to report and commands giving useful links etc. I could code it myself if necessary. It’s something that’s so basic to all discord servers that it’s kinda ridiculous that Cube doesn’t have one. Even official Discord servers use them.

2 – Inviting pre-built discord bots
This has been suggested quite a lot of times before. A bot like Mee6 would be great for levels and a bot like Rhythm would spice up voice channels. Access to Rhythm could even be assigned via specific message count as well to ensure lack of abuse and adding bots will encourage additional activity and engagement between the community.

3 – More strict enforcement of trolls and other obvious rule breakers
Something that gets on my nerves more than a lot of stuff is the time it takes for punishments to be dealt with even when a staff member is actually there. No, I’m not complaining about staff being inactive and having lives – that I can understand. It’s when it takes upwards of 10 minutes for someone to get banned despite them being an obvious troll. There have been so many times where staff have been active in chat and given light punishments to people who are doing really bad things and knowingly breaking the rules. From what I’ve heard, this is mostly an issue due to the procedures that mods are forced to follow. So a message to management – let staff just ban people instantly if they’re a troll – and to mods – if someone is obviously just trolling, insta ban them. It’s the same on every single other discord server I’m on and it works perfectly.

4 – Better enforcement of rules for popular members and designers
This is something that might need to be in staff feedback and if so I’ll move it there, but I’ve noticed how more well known and well liked members often receive less harsh punishments or none at all for some rules on the server, most commonly swearing. I’ve seen countless staff members and popular people break rules and not receiving the same punishment as a normal member, if they do receive a punishment at all. I’ve even witnessed management breaking rules before. They may do a lot for us as a community, but they should still be held to the same standards as every other member.

5 – Gamemode related channels
So we have #skyblock, #bedrock and #java, why not add channels for all the other gamemodes? It’s not like Cube is going to hit the 500 channel limit anytime soon (it’s currently at less than 20). Would be a nice addition and let people share things about their favourite games. Channels for things like building, skins and other creative and Minecraft related content would also be really nice. They might be inactive, but it’s not like them being inactive is going to hurt anyone.

6 – Additional community events
While yes, there is the community games which is usually on every 2 weeks, I feel like there should be more events to promote more community engagement. I know that there are plenty of people who would be willing to run community events and it would definitely bring together the community and people who usually play alone would far more easily find someone to play with.

I’m not making a poll because I want people to explain why they disagree so that I can improve and develop the ideas, as well as remove them if there is compelling evidence. Thanks in advance for the feedback : D

I'm not gonna react to 1 or 2 since I honestly don't mind.

3) Feel free to bring it up to the admin team, though it’s not as easy as “insta ban them mods” we need to follow punishment tracks.
4) Yes please, though not gonna lie it'd look rather weird if a mod punishes a designer since we're both staff, plus I'm not gonna lie, some staff are too, idk lazy or discouraged?, to report designers to Luke.
Please, if you ever witness a member of staff break one of the rules please try to get evidence and report them in the staff feedback subforum.
5) Meh, not that big of a fan tbh. I think it'd look rather messy, plus we have dead subforums so I doubt the channels will get used at all. Yeh, it won't hurt someone but still, I think it'd look messy. Let's say suggestion 1/2 would get accepted then this could work if there are self-assignable roles.
6) Hmmmmmm, maybe we're already working on that :thinking:

Kinda the issue I was bringing up, the punishment track and super tight protocols means that when someone is only just standing around on the line/in the grey area, they can just get away with trolling for god knows how long. On all other discord servers im on, they get banned immediately and coincidentally they all have far less issues with trolls.

This is something that's bugged me for god knows how long. I have been trying to gather evidence for a while, but since I've stopped interacting in the community as much I haven't found much recently but in the past I always avoided reporting it because I have absolutely no faith that it will be dealt with properly. It's blatantly obvious that most, if not all of the staff members are very close with their managers and are good friends and considering how i've even had in the past staff members intentionally target me with hostile/toxic behaviour constantly as well as the attitude that the managers have I feel like it would be pointless. This is especially reinforced by the fact that I've even witnessed management breaking rules on cube themselves, acting as if they can do whatever the hell they want because they run the server. It's just obvious that there's just no care about members from the managers about their staff breaking rules because it means that they cant break the rules and this attitude makes me feel like there's no point. This is likely something I will email a higher up member of staff like John about in the future should I have to.

This has been implemented on countless other discord servers and doesn't look messy at all, don't see why it would be any different on cube. Some examples of how specific channels can and does work well:
