halo, what do you mean discord is dangerous? maybe im out of loop but ive been using discord since 2015 and scarriest thing that happened to me is "can you try my game" and then trolling them xd
is email and issue when its free to create everywhere? creat fake email/acc w/e.
Discord banning server i kinda rare, you really have to do very stupid shit to get banned.
Assuming that actual community users will do no harm and follow rules&TOS, no issue.
But if you are worried about raids or scammers, there are tons of way to deal with that.
First of all, bots, get one or create one.
There is a lot of bots that automatically detects raids either by a new invite link being made that a lot of ppl join at same time or how new users (actual new discord user) or user that've been on server for short time suddenly spam or do a blacklist word which is;
Second thing, blacklist.
I know blacklisting word is kidna meh and ppl prefer "free speech" so i would propose ranking system where top ranked therefore trusted people would get access to "free" channel.
Third thing is, just get perms right and encourage anyone joining to block DM's from this server to make it even extra safe.
There is tons of way to do it the "right" way, it's just setting it up.
I have experience of moderating a discord server but never did it on scale bigger than just 20 friends, kinda have no idea how big this community but, where problem exists, a solution will always exist.
Also very good game would recommend.
ps. i'm more of a lurk person and every so often i read comments and i really see you a lot Lipstor. Kinda been "in your boots" where u like something/someone so much u just can't but help other with it (i'm assuming), very nice, very good and thank you for your work <3.
While for me it doesn't look very "efficient" or rather not my way to do it, I fully understand, its their thing and they want to do they way they want, I'm just proposing what just sounds good imo.
I keep my offer open, in case someday there will be a plan to make a discord server. No push.
speaking of moderation, itch.io really need to do something about these bots xd they are so annoying, especially when it's so easy to filter them out smh.
also if at any point for some reason, one of u both(or more?) would need any help, literally any I can and will try to help because i like this game and i really don't want it to end because of some stupid reasons.
anyhoo, keep up the good work and im gonna continue lurking, thanks for help <3
ps by any help, i really mean any (may not be even linked to game), except money coz im broke af but maybe someday sure
