How should a game modding community Discord server be organized?
Updated · Gaming
Organize a modding server around releases: a read-only #releases channel, a #mod-showcase forum, a #bug-reports forum tagged by mod and version, a #help forum, and a modder-only workspace. Give verified modders a Modder role that can post releases, and keep downloads on trusted hosts rather than raw file uploads from strangers.
| Category | Channels | Who posts |
|---|---|---|
| INFO | #rules, #releases, #install-guide | Staff and Modders |
| MODS | #mod-showcase (forum), #requests (forum) | Members |
| SUPPORT | #help (forum), #bug-reports (forum, tag: mod, version, platform) | Members |
| MODDERS | #modder-chat, #tools-and-docs, #testing | Modder role |
| VOICE | Modding lounge, Stream | Members |
Roles for a modding server
- Admin
- Moderator
- Modder (can post in #releases, sees MODDERS)
- Tester (sees #testing)
- Member
- Game/version tag roles
Safe file sharing
Executables and archives from unknown members are a common malware route. Restrict Attach Files in public channels to Modder and Moderator, and ask modders to link to their usual mod host. Add AutoMod keywords for fake 'mod loader' and 'cracked' links.
Sports game modding (Madden and similar)
Sports game modding servers usually add channels per edition (for example one per release year), roster and draft class sharing, and franchise league channels. Use edition tags in forums instead of a channel per edition until one gets busy.
