Server Owner Panel - Questions
ionic basalt
How did these panel server owners get selected? Seems pretty random.
olive sand
was trying to find servers of different sizes and topics 
timid pumice
What do you look for in a staff member? I always struggle to pick staff because I'm always worried they're going to nuke/raid the server, even if I vet them well and trust them 
ionic basalt

How do you stop yourself from becoming bored and tired over time after being the server owner for such a long period of time?
Because eventually you will feel exhausted and want to take a break from the server.
warm vortex
Do you lose motivation when you're server or bot doesn't grow?

Do you ever feel like throwing in the towel? It must be really stressful, especially as bad as DM spam and security have gotten with discord lately (just to name a few stressors).

Thanks for all your questions everyone! We won't be asking some of these questions in the AMA section because they were already in our questions for the panelists. But they'll still be answered!

red quartz
In many servers the staff get involved in server drama and avoid taking the appropriate actions until they lose their cool. How do you find or vet staff members who handle drama properly?

Do you have written guidelines (private for the mods or not) for your moderators or do you just tell your mods to go off of your #rules-and-info page?

elfin magnet
also how can u grow a server if u dont have social media or if u do have social media no one still joins because your not popular. such as for example facebook I created a group way back and have 4k members because its discord related but when i do advertise my server because its my group no one joins or seems to care. and why do people leave the server as soon they join without giving the server a chance nor at least see whats the server about

What are some good bots for servers for moderation/roles/etc? I'd like to add some bots to enhance my server and whatnot but I don't want to add a lot of them or have the main focus of the server be for bot spam!

What is the best medium to advertise your server? Is it through (if its a minecraft server) a minecraft server website, or tiktok or twitter?
green violet
How do you (or your staff team) deal with sensitive topics? eg, people talking about death, assault, cancer, etc. Obviously these people may be seeking comfort or something but also these topics can be triggering for people. For me personally, if I (as a member of the server) see people are speaking about these topics, I kind of leave chat because it makes me uncomfortable. If I was going to chat, and see that, it makes me stop and not want to interrupt/get involved. Do you step in and ask to move the conversation elsewhere? (feel free to summarize this question as necessary I know it's quite long)
bleak wharf
How and when did you came up with the idea of bot list and the name top gg?

Please keep questions related to our panelists. You can ask that question in #general
pearl siren
What makes you excited to be part of/ manage your community or group and continue to help it grow and flourish.
warm vortex
Why does some server owners start acting egoistic and ignorant when their server grows a lot?
green violet
What was your big "I did it" or "pog" 
moment, where you truly felt overwhelmingly proud of your server, when you were glad you made it, that you genuinely felt like other people loved the community, etc. What was the cause? Was it an event that went well? Was it hitting a certain benchmark of members? I'd love to hear some positive vibes! 
ionic basalt
What do you think about the new text-in-voice feature? I've got my concerns about moderation.

Has there ever been a point in your time of owning a server where you've had to do a revamp or revive your server because of member inactivity? If so, how did you go about it and if not, how did you keep it from getting to that point?

Is it right to just leave a good successful server to continue in life. ||(When you Dont wanna give ownership to someone else) ||
