lol same thing happened to me write down short rules, five or six max, and pin them. Things like "be decent," "no spam or self-promo," "keep game arguments out of general," "no cheating talk." Long rulebooks dont get read. Short ones get referenced.
hey, running a small multiplayer community server thats growing. things like spam, arguments spilling over from games, and new members not knowing where to post are becoming rgeular problems.
what did ppl who've done this find worked? ;) roles, onboarding, channel layout, moderation approach — anything practical.
@acastillo do you want the serevr to stay invite-only, or are you happy for it to keep growing publicly??
We want to keep growing, but slowly. Invite links are public right now. Three of us are willing to moderate and there are a few regulars whod probably help.
@diego.fischer got teh mod log channel going and agreed on a warning-timeout-removal ladder. already helped when someone argued they'd been treated unfairly. worked for me anyway 🤷
oh, I like this one. separate permissions by role from day one:
recruit moderators from active, calm regulars ratehr than close friends by default. and agree on consistent responses: a warning, then a timeout, then a remvoal. consistency matters more than strictness; ppl get upset when enforcement feels random.
