CubeCraft Discord Redesign: Community Feedback

[Story]

does that mean that we can report via discord again?

The part I quoted was not where he said about reporting players, its just a redirect to the actual report sections.

Hello CubeCrafters, we've got exciting news for our Discord users.

Introduction

For the past week we have been working on an overhaul to the CubeCraft Discord, we passed this through Admins, then the staff team and now we're looking to show it off to you guys before hopefully launching later this week if everything goes well. We believe that the current Discord design layout is not optimal for adding new voice/text channels and we also believe it looks quite boring overall in terms of layout/aesthetic.

Discord Redesign

View attachment 176808

What changes have we made?

• We've changed the voice channels the most, these are now grouped up into their respective categories of interest and not into a massive "voice" section, this makes it easier to minimize languages that you don't speak and also to see voice calls for things you are interested in.
• We've also added Java/Bedrock sections with their own respective game & voice channels, we found that many Bedrock & Java players ended up in the English voice channels together and confusion was created.
• We've removed the Nitro section and stationed its channels into new areas to hopefully increase activity within those channels.
• Added new text channels:
  • Changelog is where we will post all changes to the network from moderation to bugs to major game updates.
  • Report-a-player which has been stationed above staff-help to reduce players attempting to report in Discord to help them get the information they need.
  • Weekly topics which will be a channel used for creating new discussion within the community about various things.
  • Creations which will be used for sharing various things such as screenshots, memes, artwork and Twitch/YouTube links.
• Media will now be used for off-topic sharing of any sort of media that the community wants to share, however media can be shared in any channel as long as it pertains to the conversation. Links will not be embedded unless in #Media, #Creations, # Announcements, #Staff-Help, or any info-only channels that we have. This is to hopefully minimize the amount of potential spam that the link embedding can cause.
• New languages categories. We are trialing new language sections, depending on the popularity and moderation of these categories depends on whether we'll add more or keep these.
  • Swedish
  • Turkish

Stuff we've already discussed

Through our testing many things were trialed and decisions were made, so we'd like to write those out to prevent numerous similar suggestions being written.

Stuff we won't be doing:

• Separating Sr. Mods & Designers in the member list.
• Moving English-General to the English section below. As the most popular channel it cannot be that far down.
• Moving AFK to Community Corner as AFK can fill up quite a lot and this would push everything underneath it further down.
• Adding emojis to the language text channels, we felt that flags were not inclusive of other countries and using them all across the VCs might mislead players into thinking those were only for that country.

This is your chance to get your voice heard for this redesign before we launch it, so please write all of your feedback below and feel free to like suggestions that you agree with so we can make those changes confidently.

This is such a amazing addition when ever this comes out.

I also this adding the 'Report a player' is a good feature, due to some people not knowing to work the forums or it may be harder for them to post on forums than on other devices. (example: Phone/Ipad)

I also really like the 'staff help' voice channels, as if you would like to know something little, rather than putting on the forums you can get instant feedback through that feature.

Well done guys!

 

[UncleSpect]

It is exciting to add a voice channel in turkish ppl who are really nice :D

 

[MrTommy]

Yes please. The forums just got a new design, the Bedrock server got new lobbies, the Java lobby some minor changes. It would be a shame to don't update the Discord server.

I love the new general lay out, so much new stuff. A nice neat order, and not too long/complicated in my opinion.
The emoji's make the server look more cheerfull and happy overal, so please keep this.
Also so good that there are seperate catagories for Java and Bedrock. This will prevent that peopel would chat in a channel such as Lucky Islands and one of them is talking about Bedrock and the other one about Java.

I would seperate Rules and faq to two different channels, This would look more clean.
And maybe for the Bedrock catagory add a text channel for the Beta games.

Also Banners please, these things are amazing
I'll explan what these are.
So you have a channel such as Rules and faq, or any other channel where limiited information is given. So not in the English chat or Creations, because it would get flooded straight away
You will make a image that says Rules and put it at the top (Ideal measurments 850x200 pixels)
Below that you put the actual rules. and it would look something like this:

(I used the CubeCraft rules and some image i amde for another server)
The background here is transparent so both Light theme and Dark theme discord users see it. You also can add a custom background fitted for CubeCraft.

Please add a bot too, a Custom bot would be great. But it would't be for leveling or other similair things, but only for usefull commands, such as muting someone or warning someone. Right now you can only mute someone in a voicechannel. With bots you can mute someone for a set amoutnof time, in text channels. It would be the same like Minecraft mutes. Also you can autowarn people with it, if they for example post a invite to another server. So please concider a custom bot for moderators.

Also maybe concider a seperate Discord server to appeal Discord Punishments.

And if weget this update, will all the messages convert? Some people have ten of thousands of messages, it would be a shame if those were gone.

This was my feedback, nice Thread Story :)

 

[Mivke]

yes please this will be much better lol

 

[TheMigrationKing]

I like it very much, can't wait to see it.

 

[Technosword]

Genius change, glad to see Cubecraft again listening to the community!

This a great change they have made! Overall I think the maybe should add bots into the server!

 

[Story]

I would seperate Rules and faq to two different channels,

This was suggested during staff testing, we felt that it was pointless to separate them, we feel as though its fine to keep it the way it is.

Also Banners please, these things are amazing

I was planning to do these, so I shall give it a good go, might even do this post-launch as well.

This update is purely design as it's being done by non-developers. Bots require far more planning and we're trying to get them implemented in the future.

And if we get this update, will all the messages convert? Some people have ten of thousands of messages, it would be a shame if those were gone.

No channels will lose their messages, this is purely an update.

 

[Gregeyy]

This looks amazing! Can't wait to see this update implemented
Great job guys! Just a little suggestion:

Why don't you add emojies to the roles?
It'd look much better if you add an emoji in front of the name of the roles representing their job. Have some examples:
・Helper
・Moderator
・Administrator
​

Thanks for the amazing work!

 

[FiIipe]

It looks so much better! I clearly love this!

 

[Conea64]

One thing, why is there an english chat in community area? There may then be the argument that they should add a Netherlands chat because cube has such a high dutch person rate.

Regardless of how popular a language is, we are an English server first and therefore this should be the lead focal point of the server, we're happy to accommodate other languages hence why you can speak any language in most channels but English is the primary target as it's spoken by many people.

I think moving yet another language channel to Community Corner is even more confusing, we can get away with English just because it's much more popular and widely spoken.

 

[Queen Ualala]

Party-only channel please

 

[Story]

Party-only channel please

Not sure what you mean, can you explain how this works?

 

[Gregeyy]

Not sure what you mean, can you explain how this works?

I think they mean creating a voice channel called 'In Party' or something like that

 

[Deleted member 486250]

I think eggwars and skywars channels will be dead in a short time unlike skyblock, they will be only used to ask for a party and there is already a channel called looking for party

 

[Muffin]

I’m 100% on board with this change and pretty excited! The layout is presented wonderfully and everything stands out in its own way. Also YES for the Creations text channel, more ways to spread spicy memes.

Keep up the great work!

Spoiler: Side Note

I’m honored to be in the thumbnail for the post LOL.
