This server has many boosts more then it needs, so please use the 2 new features, server tag & role gradients.
Nothing more, nothing less, just don't waste these spare boosts please...
#Use the new Discord boosting features

The Server Tag stuff sounds interesting. The Role Gradients idk. We already don't provide any custom roles for users despite a few selected ones. We can add gradients to those but idk if that's really worth it. Nick can use it for his supporter role of paying users I guess. And maybe for the Booster Role. I think they still have a pink name.

That, and you could also add some level/premium roles that can be earned for engagement or mentoring etc.

We had that topic already a bunch of times. You can probably find previous requests for such roles. The usual answer is: We aren't going to add special roles.

well there might be a bit more reason for you to do so now that there's these extra features. Either way, make use of the spare 13 boosts you have 😅, there's a lot of servers that would like to use them
idle moon
The reasons against adding such roles aren't removed due to some gradient :P
empty frost
no, but there's an extra one to be added to the reasons for 😉

nah, not roles like that, I'm talking about purely cosmetic roles to show off for the more senior members of the community
idle moon
Again, we had those discussions already. Feel free to search for them and read up on the decisions.
We will be looking into the Server Tag and Role Gradients for existing roles, but no special roles of any kind will be added any time soon.

that gives me no hope or faith in this server. Tbh it sounds like you're just against making any changes, esp. if proposed by someone outside of the team. I mean for goodness sake, so many people use Discord for things other then UE! I'm not customising my bio for UE simply because someone doesn't want to add a few extra roles because it might be "untidy". Nor am I going to spend US$10/month for Nitro to do it for just this server...
Like come on, it's not that hard, why such an aversion to more roles? The arguments I've seen so far aren't really any good

The goal of this Server is not to provide you with colorful name tags and roles. Developers are here to ask questions about their UE problems and to share their knowledge. With over 118.000 members, I think the server is doing quite fine.
If you measure a UE support server like this by the amount of colorful role names, then I'm not sure what your priorities are and maybe this isn't the right server for you?

We have applied several changes along the years requested by community members. We can't, however, accept every request, just for the sake of satisfying individual users.
Nick has a specific vision of what this server is, who it is for, and how it presents itself. There are several Discord servers and communities out there, that can provide you with all sorts of RGB-, emoji-, and role-based things to play with, but that's not the focus of this server.

No one is asking you to do that. This is entirely a limitation of Discord and I can fully understand that requiring Nitro for something like this is a shitty move, but Discord has to earn money somehow. I also don't pay for Nitro, even though I would like to use some more emojis across several servers.

They might not be good for you, but as long as Nick doesn't see the positive points outweigh the negative ones, the arguments will remain the same.
That all said, I will bring up the topic of additional role names in combination with the gradients once more internally and see if opinions have changed.
If you wish to further discuss this, feel free to talk to @ pfist directly. His DMs should be open to discuss moderation and server-related topics. He will be able to explain this better, as it's mostly his decision in the end.
As for the Server Tag, we are currently discussing that, checking what makes the most sense in terms of the 4 letters and icon. I'll update the state of this request and will post an update once we know more. Thanks for pointing out those features. I think some of us were not really aware of them.

All good, glad to hear it, also bear in mind, it can also be just 3 characters. Not sure if you can do 2, but I think I've seen some like that before when it was an experiment
idle moon
Regarding the Server Tag, we have discussed characters and icons and are now just waiting for Nick to write a quick news post and enable the feature.
Due to different timezones this might take another day, but the Server Tag should be coming soon.
Regarding the Role Gradient, I will have to bring that up once more, cause it drowned in the Server Tag discussions.
Regarding the additional cosmetic roles, we are currently discussing it, but it doesn't look like the arguments and opinions on it have changed majorly. I can't give a clear update just yet, but I don't see this going to change.

Looks good, any updates on the role gradient stuff?

Nope. I brought it up several times, also to @warped remnant , but don't think I got a clear answer on that one.

I think it’s a good idea and will put together a proposal in the next day or two so staff can discuss it.
empty frost
Did we get an update on the gradient roles?
