Hello! I just want to say that I love how the !survival and !ip commands work, and I think it would be awesome to expand this to suit other purposes. In this suggestion I'll be listing some commands I think would be nice, and why I think this is good.
Thank you for reading this very, very long suggestion. I would love to hear your thoughts on some of these, and I hope that at least some are considered to be practical and worthwhile additions. Have a great day / night everybody!
- What's the IP?
Well I think this is good, as if the majority of the server are offline, and someone joins the discord looking for the IP to the server, then I think it would be lovely for them to find it via an intuitive phrase that the bot could respond to.
- Report / Ticket / Appeal / Support
So, while I recognise that these commands yield the same end result, I do feel like not only is it more specific, but it also makes the server look more professional. Having an easier way to create a ticket for whatever purpose is something that I feel the server would definitely improve from having, and this would save people a lot of trouble, especially those who find it hard to navigate the forums. Also !support could be added with the same response as !ticket.
- Owner
This one is quite odd I'll admit, but it is true that if Maarten is offline, some people may not know his discord details, and anybody who is online may not know their details off by heart either, so to make things simpler a !owner command would be really helpful I feel.
- Help
This one actually makes a lot of sense actually I think, it uses the same message that you get from typing /help in game, and that is simply because consistency is key! This aside, I think it is still helpful to have this, some people have difficulty finding the #staff-help channel, or they do not know how to notify staff properly, so this would be really useful I feel, plus it also links to the tickets on forums, which is also incredibly useful.
- Store / Shop
Simple enough, but useful. This simply links to the store page for people having trouble finding it. Not too much to say here, but for people that aren't too savvy with the website / webshop this could be quite helpful in pointing people in the right direction without typing out the full URL.
- Staff
Honestly, this one is more quality of life then anything else, however it would be nice to have a staff list ready to go, in case someone asks for one. All in all, could be good, but I can understand mixed feelings about this.
- News
This one is also quite quality of life I will admit, but some people returning to the server may want a quick way to access the news page to see what they have missed, however I can also understand mixed feelings about this.
- Apply / Helper / Builder
Now this one I think has some more practical value, its not uncommon to see people asking how to apply for either one of these positions, so each of these commands would make it a lot easier then getting the links to both up.
- Forums / Site / Website
So yes again another quality of life one, but could be good i think for people trying to find the website, or people getting confused with snapcraft.io, which shows up first on google. These are quite similar so I thought it better to list them together, I would have included a screenshot of !site however it would have triggered another bot on my test server which is permanently running.
- Vote
So this one is a bit more practical then the others, as some people may not know where to go for voting, and this hopefully could clear it up, and make it easier to access.
- Vote-Help
So this one I'll admit I am a little more proud of, even though I got all the data courtesy of @Jeepers1.
I think this is quite useful for people trying to master the voting times to get on top votes, as it can be quite confusing for people starting out.
- Suggestion / Feedback
So in all honestly, I quite commonly see people suggesting things in #staff-help, and instead of finding the URL to the suggestions section of the forums it would be much nicer to simply enter a quick command, so although this is a little bit quality of life, it could have some practical applications too.
- YouTube / YT / Twitter / Facebook / FB / Social
This is quite a big group one, but I feel it is a good mix of quality of life, and practicality. I personally found these socials by looking at Maarten's discord connections. I feel like this could be good for people who want to stay updated in different ways.
- Rules-Help
Now this is my absolute favourite out of all these potential commands. I think that it is a great way to quickly check something in the rules without having to go through the full process of searching it up. Now unfortunately I never ended up completing this part, due to school and a couple other irl factors, however I do think that this has the best potential.
Thank you for reading this very, very long suggestion. I would love to hear your thoughts on some of these, and I hope that at least some are considered to be practical and worthwhile additions. Have a great day / night everybody!
