Amount Of Server Boosts #1182

Closed Skillz4Killz closed 3 years ago

Skillz4Killz commented 4 years ago

Hello 👋

Would it be possible to show how many boosts a member has in a server? I wanted to use Server Boosting as a way to unlock VIP features on my bot but I can only reward each user a maximum of 1 server VIP unlock because I can't tell how many boosts they are giving.

Recently, Server Boosting allows as many boosts as you like, this means a user could boost my server 3 times and so I want to allow them to have 3 servers with my bots VIP features. This would encourage more users to give more boosts which means more money in Discord, more cool server perks for me and my users get cool bot perks in their servers. It is a win, win, win.

Only having a timestamp showing when they became a booster isn't really helpful besides telling me that they are boosting. It's basically just a boolean at that point. An integer showing how many boosts a member has given would a perfect.

Thank you.

chiefly the "Gift Nitro" feature which Discord feels is so important that it needs a button directly next to the file/image upload button in the mobile app UI

Gifts should also be user specific, and users should be able to disable gift reception, without the gifter knowing.

Those are all valid opinions; however, our point is that you should voice them in a relevant discussion, or create one if there's not one already.

If Discord allowed bot developers to identify how many times a user has boosted a server, we could incentivize that; we would make Discord more revenue.

These Discord discussions are just graveyards for ideas which should be obvious to a software designer. When Discord is long dead, we'll still be able to come back to these threads and see in clear black-and-white why the company went under.

Sorry to be that person, but comments like this aren't helpful to anyone. Discord is well-known for actually listening to it's userbase.

May I suggest constructive criticism instead of "this should be obvious". For instance, what don't you like, why don't you like it, and how could it be improved? Or even what do you want, why do you want it, and any ideas for how it could be implemented/behave.

Also, don't forget that things may have a different priority level then others.

If this comes off as a little aggressive, then I apologize as that's not my intentions. :)
