OK so I will preface this by mentioning I am not on SHL Discord so I have no idea if any of this is already in place

So first thing is to make sure that when somebody signs up, they get an invite to the discord channel - whether it be in the auto-welcome message or a manual invite

I would not allow any bots at all. They are distracting and mostly annoying.

I would hire people to have as close to a 24-hour presence on the discord as possible, and have one channel exclusive for rookies, with mentors available to answer their questions.

People who spam the discord with idiocy would be politely asked to stop but then kicked if they persisted.

Definitely have a channel with links to all point tasks or other TPE opportunities

Would have a channel for random chat which is not exclusively SHL-related so people could chat about whatever, so that the discussion about SHL stuff remains SHL-related.

NO NSFW stuff.

Obviously monitor the chat daily and if any good suggestions are made on discord that they get passed along into SHL Discussion on the forums.

Generally promote a respectful, helpful, and inclusive attitude, and make it something that works WITh the forums rather than try to replace them. The league is still a forum-based thing so wouldn't want to lose that aspect of it.

ALSO - not sure how to do this exactly but have some sort of scrolling scoring update that shows the results of the sims, kind of like they do on ESPN or TSN, with news and whatnot.
