Aaaaarrrg,
I recently joined the official Discord server for Sea of Thieves and I noticed that you folks aren't using a host of Discord features that I personally use on my servers. I wanted to point these out since they're often fairly unintuitive to new Discord server administrators. The following is bullet point list of things I think could improve the server. After the list I will expand a bit more.
1: Use unicode emojis in category names to help add a little color to the giant wall of channels.
2: Use a webhook in your #announcements channel to pull all your announcements from an RSS feed, that way someone doesn't have to go in there and manually post it each time.
3: Add some colored text to your FAQ/etc posts using the syntax support built into Discord.
Unicode emojis used in channel or category titles pull their data from the operating system of the device the user is looking at, so they vary a bit, but generally if it shows up cleanly on Windows 10, it should be solid on phones and other systems. Here is a very small scale example of this on one of the Discord servers that I run
Webhooks are a bit trickier to use since there are so many uses for them and so little instructions, but I personally have used Zapier to push RSS feed requests from Steam news for certain games I play. I'm attaching a brief example showing news for Ark that I still have feeding to a friends server that I manage. Someone with more knowledge of webhooks could do a lot more than I can with them.
Finally, Discord has built in language syntax for programming. It's super easy to use and it makes a bit impact. Here's an example of that.
To test some of this out, try converting a Discord emoji to raw unicode by typing a \ before entering the emoji. Not all unicode emojis have full ... emoji support? in windows, so sometimes it shows up iffy. Test and see which ones work.
Webhooks are created/found in channel configuration. You can have one or multiple per channel and use them for different things. They aren't actual bots despite what the screenshot shows, but they do work very similarly.
Syntax highlighting can be found on the Discord website, but the one I used for that example is YAML since I like how separates the color before and after the colon for questions and such.
Just wanted to make the suggestions so it looks a little cleaner! :) Thanks for reading. Feel free to contact me on Discord if you have any questions. My Discord tag is Wraith#1337
