If the Discord channels are "functional" or at least able to allow players to connect without everything breaking, I would suggest (Blood or Psy or even Death) posting the links to the servers on the TF2SS home page. Best way to get people into the Discord servers. Otherwise, very few would find them here in this specific forum post.
However, if it's not ready, then obviously don't post it to the front page.
Can't wait until it is ready though.

Ya, the concern I have is some of the small details. That and BloodRain has excellent ideas for securing and automating the servers. We could just go with what we have; however, there's some ideas I feel inclined to follow through with and I don't have all the time in the world. I like the whole idea of training people to micro-manage then have a bot make things easier. In a lot of respects I also really like just having people micro-manage without a bot.
Unfortunately with your proposed approach we will have to teach admins how to do all of the work before the bot's server is realized and its code gets finished. Whether that's my job to code or someone else's is entirely in the air as well.
Releasing the servers as of right now would be fine; however, we could miss some pretty important and nice quality of life changes. We really need to iterate and I suppose a way to get myself, Blood, and others more involved in this iterative process would unfortunately mean releasing the Discord servers as they are. I'll probably just draw up some simple rules and info then set it as the pending channels' only image.
Again, it
will be a iterative process within a group. It almost seems to me like most of the work is falling towards me. The problem with that is efficiency. So I kind of have to pull this card.
I thought I'd just let people know what position I'm in. Typically I would just pull these kinds of cards without people really knowing my thought process and what not because... Well- gotta own it, gotta work it, gotta serve it, gotta try harder. Not many people do that these days. I'm not sure if it's an ethical issue, ignorance, just plain availability, or something outside the latter. Regardless, there's always improvement somewhere. Let's work on that and these servers.
