Create Server 'Testing Mode'

baron159

When creating a new server and/or community setting up the roles AND knowing you got them right, can be critical in some situations. The Server Templates and the View Server As features helped that incredibly.

However when creating a new server with no members, its hard to see if the permissions are correct.

Solution: Create a "Server Test" Tab in the Server Settings Menu, And the mode is ether Enable or Disabled

Enabling it, enables further options and enables testing mode To server owner view only (Client Hosted Feature?). This mode could allow you to 'Hard Set' or 'Minimum Set' the number of user under each roles, and maybe a section where you can create a few constant user test data (so your accounts with complex role chains). And whenever this mode is active, inject fake user accounts (or reduce current user accounts) to meet the user params. Makes setting up new servers, and managing large established communities easier.

Create a 'Fake Invite Link' to allow the owner to click it and interact with the server as if they were a new user (different from View as Role, in the event they have new member processes...like go to this channel, read the rules, type `command` to unlock the reset of the server)

    That would be amazing! Perfect testing on Moderation and permissions.

    Will we get updates on these, if the Devs decide to pick them up?

    This is a great idea! Creating a "Server Test Mode" and rice purity test will make it possible for server owners to easily test and verify new server permissions and settings without having to invite actual members. Features such as "Hard install" or "Minimum install" number of users for each role, along with emulated user accounts, make setting up and managing new servers a breeze than.
