Server Creation is $50USD and can be set up in one to two business days, including channel setup, bot setup (explained below in the Bot Management section), and emojis/banners. Authors answer a customization questionnaire and provide four images:
Server Creation includes six moderation custom commands, two verification custom commands, and three book custom commands through Carl-bot, the general purpose/moderation bot I use for these servers. It also includes creating up to three custom commands of your direction. Depending on the complexity of the command(s), and the limitations of Carl's code, I should be able to fill most requests. If not, I will often know of a bot you could use instead. I may or may not be willing to install and setup an extra bot (see Bot Management FAQ below for more information on my bot policy).
Additionally, there is a pack of emojis that can be added to your server, with color customization possible, and up to three personalized emojis of your choice. If you want customization beyond the questionnaire, that may result in extra fees and/or longer turnaround.
Server Creation includes one week of setup bug squashing/issue resolution, and minor customization tweaks. If any setup bugs have not been resolved in one week (this is very rare, as I'm very familiar with Discord and the bots I use), a consultation fee of $10/wk will be required for continued diagnosis and fixes. Large customization changes or continuing customization asks beyond the one week included will incur additional fees.
Server Creation and customization as described here is only available to servers I have set up. If you have a server already made and would like to discuss customizing it for you, that is an option. Additionally, consultation about member, role, bot, or general Discord errors for a server I did not set up is available. Costs regarding existing servers may vary depending on the complexity, activity, and size of your server.
Server Administration is $20USD/mo and includes 30-45 minutes per day, interspersed throughout the day, going over your server logs and dealing with infractions and mod-related questions, and forwarding author-related questions. It is recommended to also recruit 1-3 moderators from your community with different time zones/availabilities so you have more active eyes on infractions and support/verification tickets.
Server Administration includes up to 1,000 initial members, and increases by $5USD/mo for every 1,000 members in the server. For example, a server with 3,000 members would be $30USD/mo (1,000 initial $20 + 1,000 $5 + 1,000 $5). A server retains its current cost through the current subscribed month; the next billing cycle will see the increased price. This price increase covers the extra time required to go over logs, questions, etc., for more users.
Please note that if your server really takes off and it is much, much busier than expected, your server administration fee may increase independent of your member count. This increase will be discussed with you before being implemented. I judge this by how thoroughly I am able to comb your message and moderation backlog with the base timeframe allowed. If I feel like I cannot properly administrate your server in the 30-45 minute allotment, I will bring my concerns to you. If you're comfortable with taking up the slack (either yourself or a mod you appoint), I will continue with my standard timing.
Server Administration as described above is only available to servers I have set up. If you have a server already made and would like to discuss administrating it for you, that is an option. Cost may vary depending on the complexity, activity, and size of your server, and if you do not have logging already set up it will include a one-time $5USD fee to set up logging via Carl-bot.
Three bots come with server creation at no additional cost (see the "Bot List" option for details), and I also have a variety of other bots (see "Extra Bots") that I am comfortable enough with to add without question. In addition, if you have a bot you want me to use that's not on my lists, I can look into the learning curve and judge whether I'm comfortable enough to proceed. (Usually this will be a yes.)
I can add bots to your existing server, this service isn't restricted to only servers I help create. In order to do this, I need to be granted Administrator permission and be placed high in your role hierarchy for the duration of installation, setup, and testing, so that I can adjust things as needed in the bot. I do not need to remain Admin beyond completing the testing period. Note that the "Bot List" bots cost $10 each if I'm not creating your server, aligning with the "Extra Bots."
Bots are installed and setup for $10 or $20 each (minus the "Bot List" during server creation); I will discuss the cost with you before setup and invoicing. I am comfortable with installing multiple bots a day, so the turnaround on extra bots is usually 1-3 hours per bot. Note that I do maintain a healthy work-life balance, so "a few hours per bot" may end up being spread across multiple days if there's enough bots.
Please note, I do not install or set up AI bots.
Bots included for free with Server Creation are:
Additional bots cost $10 each to set up except Statbot which costs $20 (because that takes a lot of setup work):
