Tips That Save You Time
- Set up welcome & greetings before you need it, not after a problem starts
- Check the trust score of any member before taking action
- Log every admin move to a private log channel for transparency
- Tell your members what commands exist so they can self serve
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Setting rules too strict and driving away good members
- Forgetting to enable captcha, which lets spam bots flood in
- Not using notes, which means you answer the same question every day
- Ignoring the log channel, which leaves you blind to rogue admins
