Hey @Bot Developer @(we still need a

[silent nest]

convo here!

[tribal skiff]

i think it sounds good

[silent nest]

It's one thing I've been pondering on for a long time now

[atomic elk]

hey

[silent nest]

tags are a mess man lol

[peak perch]

This seems like a pretty easy automation task

[atomic elk]

thats fun

[peak perch]

If you want any help implementing it please lmk!

[tribal skiff]

this is veld, give them 5 minutes and it'll be done and implemented

[silent nest]

(it already is implemented)

[tribal skiff]

lol

[orchid crow]

sounds good

[silent nest]

[atomic elk]

godspeed

[tribal skiff]

sweet, lmk when you make it available on test so i can break it

[midnight parrot]

There are bots that can do multiple things, I'm not sure how it'll work for bots that has multiple of the selectable features (or for bots that has original things not in the list of available features).

[silent nest]

for multi-functional bots you have 12 tags to select from and show them off

[worldly rock]

I think it's important to reduce tags number yes, there are too much at the moment that's too confusing.

I do have a question if you decide to go that way ; do you intend to adapt auctions to this new system ? Reducing tag numbers might clutter auctions and make small creator (or poorer) less chances to win auctions. A good idea would be to have auction on features too

[gaunt cave]

interesting .

[paper mirage]

I agree the tags need to be cleaned up... We can select a limited number of tags and all the duplicates divides the user base, hiding some from us

Why not introduce a way to report "this is that"

For example (from my own bot) tord is truth-or-dare and truth-or-dare is Truth Or Dare (all different searches on top.gg)

And you could either use an algorithm, or manually, or by community vote, consolidate those tags into one single tag 🤔

Also, the features thing makes no sense to me... I have no idea what the goal is here

[silent nest]

"this is that" is something we have on our moderation panel

[paper mirage]

But does it eliminate the extra tags and update bots with the consolidated tag?

Admittedly I don't spend a lot of time on top.gg, other than to try and make sure my SEO is on point every few months 😅

[silent nest]

yeah, it does

we're not actively using it yet, but its implemented and ready to go :)

[tall sandal]

Interesting idea overall but any ideas how this would affect auctions 👀

[silent nest]

it shouldn't at all! we're not removing tags right away, and any auctioned off tags wont change

[worldly rock]

But it would affect search/nav on top.gg wouldn't it ?

[tall sandal]

I was more interested in if “features” would have their own portions of the UI or just be like tags within tags
And by extension if you’d be able to bid on “features”

Like would there be e.x. top.gg/tag/music/24-7

[minor garnet]

My thoughts

[tall sandal]

Why hello there fellow auctions user

[modest field]

So current tags will stay?

[silent nest]

Most likely something we could look into afterwards in ads/v2

[visual dagger]

Honestly I thought it was really confusing when making my bot because there's moderation, moderator, mod bot, and moderation bot XD

[silent nest]

yeah its tough man

[tall sandal]

But even if the features thing doesn’t ship I agree with removing “duplicate” tags like why do we need welcome users and Welcomer to be separate tags lol

[silent nest]

whoops wrong reply

[silent nest]

yeah tis tough man

[tall sandal]

As in these are entirely separate official categories and auctions spots

[silent nest]

Not sure yet! for now it's more of a filtering piece where you could pick "i want a music bot with these features" and it would filter it down that way.

Similar when you look for a monitor on amazon and you pick minimum refresh rate

[tall sandal]

Yep I’m guilty of some tag duplication too haha

[worldly rock]

for me it's 100% good idea anyway as well explained here it's a complete mess lol

[tall sandal]

Also it’s incredibly sad that “slash commands” needs to be a tag… they’ve been out for 4 years and people still won’t move on (from “prefix commands”)

[silent nest]

Haha, yeah.... slash commands would be a feature indeed

[tall sandal]

Fr? Lmao can’t wait for “feature spam”
Ephemeral messages
Buttons
Select menus
Modals
Context menu commands
Guild installable
User installable (okay these last two would actually make sense lol)

[river moth]

it would be hard to draw the line between what would be a tag vs what would be a featue

every slash command is a feature?

[silent nest]

Keep in mind that this is something we'd approve individually.

Not something like tags where you create one and the page exists

[tall sandal]

Question but does this apply to servers too

[silent nest]

Yes ofcourse :)

any feature coming out in the future applies to server, unless irrelevant for servers

[tall sandal]

Cause you guys are hopefully aware that this is what is often used by pedophiles and other cybercriminals on other server lists to slip through the cracks and find each other easily

[strong matrix]

"supports commands"

[silent nest]

we are aware of most tags, but report anything that u see.

[tall sandal]

“Uses AutoMod”

[silent nest]

You can DM me directly and I'll take care of it personally for anything that endangers anyone who is underage

[tall sandal]

Lmao wait should “features” get their own “badges” on bot pages imagine top.gg badge goblins
-# this is a joke please don’t do this (not edited)

[tall sandal]

Haven’t seen anything yet just don’t want this site to turn into disboard

[silent nest]

We have a few initiatives in place to avoid that!

I'm personally very invested in making sure servers stays clean and safe for all ages

[tall sandal]

I’m glad to hear that

[crystal peak]

so you are basically aiming to provide features depending on the bot, instead of making it the same for all bot regardless of what they are?

that would be awesome

[high dock]

really great but only if it implements well, if it doesnt implement well, i.e. people dont really use it or dont mind it then removing tags won't be worth it

[golden stump]

However, this may lead to a difficulty in finding some servers/bots. Although, top.gg clone tags are more important.
