    Intro
    Soooo my suggestion is to have discord mods. This would be good because Mineverse and Skyblock mods shouldn't have to do the extra work and manage a discords server.

    Details
    All Mineverse and Skyblock mods still get Moderator ranks on discord.
    Discord mods will be able to mute, kick, move, deafen, warn, and ban.
    The color of the names would be Tealish . (If this color isn't taken)

    Possible Application
    1. How often are you on Mineverse/Skyblock discord?
    2. What time zone are you in?
    3. What times can you be on discord? (Ex: Mon-Fri 3PM-8PM)
    4. What languages do you speak?
    5. Do you know how to use the current bots we have active in the discord? If so what are some commands?

    6. Why should you be a discord mod? (Explain!!)
    7.
    Have you been banned, kicked, or muted in the past on Mineverse/Skyblock discord? If so why?

    8. Do you have Two Factor Authentication set up?
    Summary
    Add discord mods, they get basic moderating commands and a colored name. Must complete template to become mod.

    Small edit: If you disagree with any of this please state why and provide sone type of proof :)

    Edit #2: Allow mods to have access to the music commands to play the music in the music channel

    No support, simply because it's not needed and we have many active staff anyways. If Cypriot didn't think we couldn't handle it then he would've made it a rank initially. Thanks for the thought of us though

    Thanks bb for the credit <3

    Obviously I'm gonna support this. I came up with this idea in the first place. Something he forgot to mention was:

    Why have Discord mods in the first place?

    Well, I have been on the Mineverse Discord everyday and sometimes the mods don't join voice channels. (Which is perfectly okay btw) But, I have noticed that sometimes a few people join and cause a huge disturbance. Maybe they scream into the mic, making annoying noises or just be overall rude and disrespectful. It ruins the call and doesn't make it enjoyable. If we had a moderator on Discord that can easily be reached instead of bothering the admins and server mods who are probably doing other important things, the discord mod can handle the problem and the problem can be resolved. :)

    The only reason this was suggested is because you staff members already have a lot on your backs. There were mod applications for the Dubtrack. Why not the discord? In order for things to be successful we need others help, we need other people to step up, keep things in control and enforce the rules. Yes you staff are active but what about when there are no staff online to help? Then what? This isn't suggestion get a whole bunch of people to be mods on discord, this is suggestion accept a few people to help out and take some weight off of your jobs.

    Thanks for your feedback, hope you can find a reason to change your mind :)

    P.S: Happy Birthday Twin!!

    The reason Dubtrack had applications is becasuse I didn't give people staff on Dubtrack just because they were staff on Mineverse, that's completely different. There are 46 staff members on the discord of all sorts of timezones, which is more than enough

    I can assure that no matter what there will always be at least one moderator online to provide assisstance on discord.

    Next time something happens that staff are not helping with please make sure you have messaged them. I have never once been messaged by you for assisstance on the Discord, therefore in my book we have not had any times where there have been no staff helping a situation.

    Team speak has their own staff and while they did not apply for the rank they have been selected by Cyp for their activity level on the TS server. Discord in my opinion is like TS in the way that it hosts several people and several staff but at the same time not all staff are active especially in voice. You don't have to support the idea but explain what harm the rank would do? Added help never hurts and I think it's great to see people reaching out to support the server.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I love the idea and support it of course.

    The discord is filled with constant moderators online from both Mineverse and Skyblock. There is never an issue that we can't handle. This would be a completely unnecessary rank, hardly any moderation is even needed for discord.

    How does that explain the harm in adding help?

    The "need" isn't the question although we have almost no staff in voice at any time. The one who made this thread is on daily.
    Please explain to me the harm in adding help?

    I'm fairly active on the discord and there isn't a single person that I would trust as a moderator there. With giving people permission and trust, there's always the worry of them not using the permissions appropriately. I feel the current Mineverse and Skyblock staff team fill the job well, and I overall like that the discord is run by in-game moderators.

    We discuss discord issues and changes within the staff team as it's between us, and I just think it would be awkward sharing it with people who aren't apart of the staff team to be completely honest. That isn't my main concern with it, or at all my reason for not wanting the rank, but just a personal preference.

    I feel the rank would become just something that'd be given to active people as like a reward, rather than using them for help. If that's the case, I don't see why not just making a cool rank called "VIP" or something to put the cool active people in.

    This is the same as new mods for the server, you don't know if they plan to abuse. You have to trust the person if they fail then they face the consequences of demotion... simple as that. Thanks for your feed back :)

    That makes no sense. Promoting a discord mod would in no way make any of us lose "power" and is certainly not what anyone is "afraid of". Pile and Chari both supported, it has nothing to do with moderators losing power or whatever. I gave you reasonable concerns and reasoning for why I am iffy about adding the rank.

    If discord were to ever appear as if extra help would come in handy, I would have no problem with it. In my opinion, right now, the concerns weigh out the need for it
