Limiting our Discord chats to a large group

peegs

I help run a college sports site and Discord was something we used with success this year for game chats and a weekly chat we've done for going on 20 years.

The problem is we have a large group of paying subscribers (thousands) and would like to keep some of our chats to just those subscribers. It's such a large number that I don't know of there's a way to do manage this or not. Everything I have researched on this speaks to smaller groups.

Is there something that can be done? In the past we've used IRC chat and changed the chat room name each week and just provided the name on a subscriber only message board. Crude but worked for the most part but Discord is so much more robust and would love to find a way to use it just for subscribers at times but also have it open for anyone at other times.

Too much to hope for?

    Like Forgi_Forgeth said, you could make a server. You give the subscribers a role called "Subscribers" or whatever you want to name it. You can then change the settings of a channel to only allow access to these subscribers. Channels by default allow anyone to talk in them, so any channels that are default allow anyone that joins the server to chat on it.

    You should also get something on your subscriber site that asks for their Discord tag so that if they join the server, a bot would automatically give them the subscribers role. This would most likely be some kind of custom bot or a bot that I don't know about.

    There are many tutorials online and tutorials on this website that provides help for beginners in running a Discord server. You can search it up, and find something to help you create a basic server. You can also try to make your own server layout.

    In my opinion, Discord's GUI is really well designed and allows you to do many things, but this might not be the case for some people. You know what's best for your group, so I think you should watch tutorials and kind of remix them to fit into your server.

    No one likes a server that's confusing and all jumbled together, tutorials will help you fix that, but sometimes you don't need something that a tutorial recommended, and you can always add stuff.
