Statistics now run on your own bot​

The Statistics tab has been rebuilt from scratch. Until now, statistics were recorded by the shared SCNX bot for every server. Starting with v3.24.1, your own bot collects them and stores them in its own database. That data is not pooled with other servers, and the dashboard does not keep a copy.

The new tab has over forty views: messages and voice time, joins and leaves, which channels are busy and which have gone quiet, activity by role, your most active members, moderation, tickets, giveaways, levels and more. Cards can be dragged into any order, and cards you hide are not calculated anymore.

Members get two new commands. /serverstats shows what has been going on in the server, and /mystats shows a member their own numbers only. Both can be turned off in the settings.

To enable statistics, open Statistics in the dashboard and switch it on. The bot restarts once and collects data from that point onward.

What happens to existing statistics​

The shared SCNX bot is being retired as a statistics source. If your server already had statistics, the history was copied to your own bot and the old copy was deleted. Servers that have not switched yet keep seeing their existing figures for the time being. The SCNX bot will suspend its analytics features later this year, so it makes sense to switch before then. How the migration works is described under history from before your own bot.

Export, delete, and member opt-out​

Because the data lives on your bot, you decide what happens to it. Under Privacy on the Statistics tab you can download everything as a single file or delete all of it. Members can opt out of being counted individually with /analytics-privacy. Server totals are unaffected by that, only the link to the individual person is removed.

One thing to be aware of before switching it on: as the server owner you are responsible for your members' activity data, not SCNX. Whether that requires anything on your side, and whether you want to offer the opt-out, depends on your server. What is recorded and for how long is documented in full.

Moderation​

Most of the changes to the Moderation & Security module in this release came out of support tickets and Featureboard requests. The bigger ones in detail:

Spam detection with separate detectors​

Anti-spam used to be a fixed set of rules. It is now split into individual detectors, and each detector has its own enable toggle, threshold, timeframe and action. The message-rate, duplicate-message, mention and mass-mention checks are still there, and these were added:

• 📎 Attachment and image spam. Too many files or images in a short window.
• 🔗 Link spam. Bursts of links.
• ↩️ Newline and character floods. Messages padded with endless line breaks or repeated characters.
• 😀 Sticker and emoji spam.
• 📢 Channel spread. The same user posting across many channels at once.
• 🔠 Text abuse. Excessive caps, repeated characters, zalgo text, spoiler spam.

Detected spam can be deleted automatically. A global default applies unless a detector overrides it, and auto-delete removes the whole burst across every channel it landed in. That makes it possible to mute someone for a mass-mention burst while an emoji flood only gets deleted.

Moderation levels you define yourself​

The four fixed Moderator-Level role fields have been replaced by custom moderation levels. You create as many named levels as you need and pick what each one can do: warn, mute, kick, ban, lock, channel-mute, quarantine, clear messages, lift punishments, bypass anti-spam, report immunity, lockdown control and a few more. A trial-mod level might get warn and mute without ban, and a dedicated anti-raid role could get lockdown control and nothing else.

Existing Level 1 to 4 setups are migrated automatically and keep working as before. The old fields disappear once the migration has run.

Lifting punishments from the log​

Moderation log messages and the mod-actions view can show a Lift punishment button. Clicking it asks for a reason and reverses the mute, ban, quarantine or warning. The button is opt-in via a new toggle and permission-gated, so only staff who are allowed to perform that action type can lift it. Typical uses are an accepted appeal or a punishment that went to the wrong member.

Editable and public log messages​

Every moderation log message type now has its own editable template in the full message editor. An appeal-form link on every ban notice, for example, is a one-time change to the ban template.

Each action type can additionally post a separate, differently worded public log to a second channel. The detailed internal log stays private while the community sees a short notice. Which action types get a public log is up to you, whether that is only mutes or every ban. If the same channel is selected for both logs, the dashboard shows a warning, since every message would otherwise arrive twice.

Native Discord bans and kicks get recorded​

Bans, unbans, kicks and timeouts carried out with Discord's built-in tools can now be recorded into the bot's moderation database and log channel. A member's history stays complete even if part of the team uses Discord's right-click Ban instead of the bot. Optionally, the affected user receives a DM. This is opt-in and only covers actions taken while the bot is running.

More options on cases​

• Change the duration. /moderate edit-duration, or the Edit duration button in the mod-actions view, shortens or extends an active temporary mute, ban or quarantine. The user is notified by DM, and there is no need to lift and re-apply the punishment.
• Up to ten proof images per case. Several images can be attached when taking an action (the right-click Warn / Mute / Kick / Ban actions accept evidence now too), or added later through an opt-in Add proof button under the log message or /moderate add-proof. The log message updates itself and shows the images as a gallery. User reports and message reports also get an image-upload field.
• Tag involved users. The reporter, a second account from the same incident, or a witness can be linked to a case for context. Involved users are never punished or notified. Use the involved option when acting, /moderate involve, or the user picker in the mod-actions view. The list is available as the %involved% placeholder, so it can appear in the internal log only or in the public one as well.
• Edit the reason. An opt-in Edit reason button and /moderate edit-reason allow rewriting a case's reason after the fact. The change is stored as a case event.
• Custom case titles. Opt-in short titles like "Insulting several users", separate from the longer reason. Once enabled, the title is a required field on warn, mute, ban, kick, quarantine and channel-mute, including the right-click modals. Add %title% to your log templates for the titles to show up.
• Better case history. /moderate actions opens a private, filterable view of active and past cases. Filter by action type, inspect case details and open stored evidence from there. Log messages now reference each other when a decision gets reversed.

Scam links​

• New-member restrictions. Require a minimum time on the server before new members can post attachments or links. Messages that break the rule are deleted with a notice, with optional escalation for repeat offenders. This targets throwaway accounts that join and paste a scam link within the first minute.
• Better scam-link detection. Scam and phishing URLs are now matched against a fresher, SCNX-maintained list, with optional heuristics for suspicious links. The previous lists had gone stale. The new source covers the Steam, Nitro and crypto-giveaway scams that spike around big game launches and events.
• Delete only. For scam links, blacklisted words and invites, the offending message can now be removed without punishing the member.

Fixes in this area: an expired quarantine no longer comes back when the member rejoins, verification no longer hands back roles the join gate just removed, verification continues after a quarantine release, the verification button answers reliably, manual verification no longer gets stuck after a rejoin or a deleted review message, and the join gate and automatic lockdown trigger correctly again.

Six modules, now on every server​

All of these are available on every server and every plan starting today.

💬 Message Quotes (new)​

Paste a Discord message link and the bot posts it as a readable quote in the current channel. There is also a Quote Message action in Discord's Apps menu. The output is built in the message editor, so you control what is shown: author, nickname, avatar, channel, content, timestamp, link and first image. Roles, channels or whole categories can be excluded, bot messages and self-quotes can be allowed or blocked, and the trigger message can be deleted. Users can only quote messages they are allowed to read. With attachment archival enabled, quoted images are uploaded to your file library. Enable it from the module catalog.

🔥 Activity Streaks​

Members build a streak by being active every day, week or month, and lose it when they go quiet. /streak shows a member their run and /streak leaderboard shows who is keeping the longest one. New in this release: a configurable window for how many days after losing a streak members can still recover it with /streak restore. Restoring a backup also brings back every member's streak.

🔗 Word Chain​

Every new word has to start with the last letter of the previous one. The bot checks each entry and tracks how far the server gets before someone breaks the chain.

📖 One-Word Story​

The community writes a story together, one word per person. Since nobody can steer it alone, the result is rarely what anyone expected.

🏷️ Guild-Tag-Roles​

Members who wear your server's guild tag get a role for it, and lose the role again when they take the tag off.

🖱️ Context Menu Commands​

Bot actions such as the moderation context-menu actions can be run from Discord's Apps menu by right-clicking a member or message. The new Commands page in the dashboard lets you pick which actions are available, rename them, and disable slash commands you do not use. Context actions are off by default and keep their normal permission requirements. Discord allows up to 15 user actions and 15 message actions per bot.

Chess and Live Messages leave early access​

Chess is now on every server and plan. A full game against another member or the bot inside a thread, a freshly drawn board after every move, and a leaderboard. Promoting a pawn to a rook, bishop or knight now keeps the selected piece, which did not always work before.

Live Messages joins it. Messages that display live server statistics such as member counts, online members, boosts and channels, kept up to date by the bot. Both are in the module catalog.

Anti-Nuke Protection, in early access​

New for ScootKit Membership early-access holders, with general availability in the usual 3 to 4 month window.

Anti-Nuke watches for destructive server actions and responds according to rules you set. It looks for mass channel and role changes, bans, kicks, webhook abuse, permission escalation, emoji and sticker deletion, destructive server changes and more. Once a threshold is reached it can alert your team, strip the attacker's roles, remove dangerous permissions, or ban them. Alerts come with a guided undo flow that tries to restore what was affected and then reports what worked and what did not. Operators can check the status, temporarily whitelist a trusted member with an expiry and reason, and set thresholds per action type. Only users on the Exempt Users list can use any of it.

Anti-Nuke is a mitigation layer, not a backup and not a guarantee. It only works while the bot is online, some Discord actions cannot be fully reversed, and anyone who can reconfigure the bot can get around it. The documentation lists those limitations before the setup steps, and they are worth reading first.

TikTok notifications are back​

TikTok creator notifications work again, with one restriction that comes from TikTok's API: notifications only work for creators who have connected their TikTok account to SCNX. The creator goes through the SCNX creator-claim flow once. After that, notifications arrive automatically, and no bot restart is needed.

The rebuild also added a Required hashtag filter, a Minimum clip length filter, and %thumbnailUrl% and %description% placeholders for the notification message.

Other changes worth knowing about​

• Scheduled and recurring messages. A dashboard message can be scheduled for later, edited or cancelled, or repeated daily, weekly or monthly. Recurring schedules survive restarts. If the bot was offline, missed recurring occurrences are skipped, and an overdue one-time message is sent once the bot is back. A recurring series counts as one pending message. Limits are 2 on Starter, 10 on Active Guild, 25 on Pro/Unlimited and 50 on Professional/Enterprise.
• Advanced Logging, reorganised. The settings are grouped into sections for messages, members, roles, channels, voice, server changes and emojis. Each section can ignore all bots or specific bots, and new filters skip noisy role, channel and voice changes. Role changes by the same person in quick succession are combined into one entry with the net result, so large role operations no longer flood the channel. Role logs also list every changed role instead of only the last one.
• Auto Delete keeps bot panels. Channel cleanup no longer removes active application and ticket panels, giveaways, polls, live messages, leaderboards, partner and team lists, starboard posts, suggestions, sticky messages, advent calendars, and other long-lived messages maintained by an enabled module.
• Giveaways: participant lists. An optional View participants button lets members privately browse a paginated list of entrants with entry weight and requirement status. Staff can use /gmanage participants. Rapid entries no longer get lost when many people join at the same time.
• YouTube notifications are faster. Channels are checked much more often, so go-live and new-video alerts arrive sooner. A new per-channel setting skips premieres and scheduled streams until they are published as regular videos, and a broken thumbnail no longer blocks the notification.
• Tickets: copy category permissions. Off by default. When enabled, the permission overwrites from the ticket category are copied to each new ticket channel, with @everyone still denied.
• Birthday: separate reminder channel. Pre-birthday reminders can go to their own channel instead of the birthday channel.
• Fewer "interaction failed" errors. Slower actions such as creating or closing tickets, voting in polls, revoking invites and restarting verification now answer Discord in time.
• Better protection for stored data. Information your server stores now gets additional protection automatically, without any change in how the bot is used.
• Module activation tells you when a restart is needed. If a newly enabled module needs additional Discord access, the bot says so instead of silently not working.

For everything else (Applications, Staff Management, Welcomer, Color-me, AI Chat Channel, Economy, Polls, Auto-Publisher and a few more), the full per-module list is in the in-dashboard changelog.

How to update​

If your bot is on the v3 branch, restart it once and v3.24.1 is live. Existing configurations keep working, and old moderator levels are migrated into the new system automatically.

A few settings are worth going through deliberately rather than leaving on defaults:

1. Statistics. Read what is recorded, decide whether to offer members the opt-out, then switch it on under Statistics. The bot restarts once. Do this before the shared SCNX bot stops collecting later this year.
2. Anti-spam. Existing rules carry over, but the new detectors (attachment spam, link spam, floods, channel spread, text abuse) should get thresholds and actions that match what your server actually sees.
3. Log templates. The defaults are fine if nothing was customised. If custom case titles are turned on, add %title% to the templates, otherwise the titles will not show anywhere.
4. Context menu commands. They are off by default. Enable the ones your staff would use on the Commands page.

Greetings from Munich,
- Simon

• 🛠️ Staff Management System is out of early access. Available on every server now.
• ♟️ Four more modules join in early access: Chess, Guild-Tag-Roles, One-Word Story, Word Chain.
• 🔐 Verification has been rebuilt. New in-channel flow, no DMs required.
• 🛡️ Quarantine is sturdier. It now holds up across bot restarts, member rejoins, and staff stripping the role manually.
• 📥 Permanent attachment storage. Moderation evidence and starboard images upload to your scnx file library, so they keep working long after Discord's CDN URLs would have expired.

Plus the usual long list of polish and fixes across nearly every module.

Staff Management System is now available to everyone​

Staff Management has been the most-requested module on Featureboard for a long time, and after months of early-access testing on member servers it's now live on every server, on every plan. It's a single module designed to replace the patchwork of bots, spreadsheets and forum threads most servers end up cobbling together to run their team.

What's in it:

• ⏱️ Shifts. Clock in, clock out, take breaks. Configurable duty types, weekly or monthly quotas, a duty-time leaderboard, and an audit channel that records every shift event.
• 🌴 Leave of absence and reduced activity. Members request time off inside Discord, supervisors approve in one click, and the bot can auto-assign a status role for the duration.
• ⚠️ Infractions and suspensions. Warnings, strikes, demotions, terminations, "under investigation" markers. Temporary suspensions strip staff roles for the duration and restore them when the suspension ends.
• 🎖️ Promotions. One command, optional auto-assignment of the new role, and a customisable announcement.
• 👤 Staff profiles and reviews. 1 to 5 star ratings, review history, reputation tracking that members can contribute to.
• ✅ Activity checks. Periodic check-ins on selected roles with full responded, missing, and follow-up tracking.
• 🔐 Three-tier access. Staff, Supervisor, and Management role tiers each unlock the appropriate command level.

Enable it from the module catalog. The setup guide walks through the first-run configuration.

Four new modules in early access​

The other four ship today in early access for ScootKit Membership early-access holders, with general availability in the usual 3 to 4 month window.

♟️ Chess​

Full chess against other server members or the built-in AI, played out in dedicated threads so long games don't choke your main channel. Three ways to move (algebraic in chat, a popup with notation input, or guided dropdowns), live material balance in the embed, auto-flipping board renders so you always see your own pieces at the bottom, AI on Easy, Medium, or Hard, draws, resignations, history, and configurable move timeouts with reminder pings. Start with /chess challenge @user or /chess challenge-ai.

🏷️ Guild-Tag-Roles​

Reward users who equip your server's guild tag with one or more roles. The bot adds the configured roles when the tag is activated and removes them when it's taken off. The role list is configured in module settings.

📖 One-Word Story​

Collaborative storytelling where each member adds exactly one word at a time. Configure story channels, an optional archive channel, and a moderator role. Supports word caps, idle hints, and customisable milestones.

🔗 Word Chain​

Each new word starts with the last letter of the previous one. Pick the channels it runs in, set a minimum word length, and decide whether words can repeat. Includes milestone messages, idle hints, and /word-chain reset for moderators.

Verification, without the DMs​

The old verification flow DMed users a captcha. A lot of people have DMs disabled by default these days, and when that happened the bot couldn't reach them. The fallback was usually "ask a mod", which kind of defeats the point of having an automated gate.

The new flow moves the entire thing into the channel. The user clicks a Verify Me button on the verification message, the challenge appears for that user only, they solve it, they get the role.

Three modes to pick from:

• Captcha (default). A captcha image rendered directly in the channel, only visible to the user. Right default for most servers.
• Simple. A quick math problem or word challenge in a popup. Less bot-resistant but much faster for humans. Useful for audiences that would bounce off a captcha.
• Manual. Users press a button to request verification, staff approve or deny it from the log channel. Right pick for invite-only communities.

The old captcha is still there as Captcha (DM, legacy), so existing setups keep working untouched. The new flow also gives users multiple attempts (default 3) with a cooldown between tries (default 5 minutes), instead of punishing on the first failed try. The punishment duration is configurable too (default 1 hour), so a typo doesn't earn a permanent mute.

Quarantine that actually sticks​

A few server owners wrote in about quarantine being trivially worked around. They were right. Three problems we fixed:

1. Leave-and-rejoin defeated it. A user could shed the quarantine role by leaving the server and rejoining. The role wasn't reapplied. It is now, no matter how long they were gone. Works for every trigger: manual, Join Gate, Anti-Join-Raid, Anti-Grief, AutoMod, failed verification, and the message filters.
2. Other bots and reaction roles could grant access back. New opt-in option Strip new roles from quarantined users. Any role added to a quarantined user (via Discord's role picker, a reaction role, or another bot) gets removed automatically. Server boosts and managed roles are left alone.
3. Staff could bypass the audit log by removing the role manually. New opt-in option that reapplies the quarantine if a staff member strips it without running /moderate unquarantine, and posts a log entry naming who did it. Forces every unquarantine through the auditable command path.

Alongside that, a stack of smaller moderation fixes. Channel locks no longer skip roles whose write permission was inherited from the server or category level. Repeated anti-spam and anti-raid triggers don't stack actions on the same user anymore. Long moderation reasons no longer crash the log entry. /moderate ban with days actually deletes messages again (Discord.js renamed the option, we caught up). Unmute and unquarantine preserve role prefixes and active streak suffixes on the nickname instead of wiping them off.

Permanent attachment storage​

If you've been on SCNX long enough you've probably seen this one. A moderation case from six months ago, you click the evidence link, "this image is no longer available". Discord's CDN URLs expire. The image was always gone, the link was just silently rotting.

v3.23.1 fixes that for the two places it stung most:

• Moderation evidence. Attached proof files upload to your scnx file library, and the case log links to the permanent URL.
• Starboard images. Images on starred messages upload to your file library and embed via a permanent link, so pinned highlights from a year ago still render.

There's also a new opt-in setting in Advanced Logging, Archive attachments from deleted messages, for servers whose policy supports retaining deleted-message content. Off by default.

Stored files count against your file-storage quota. If you'd rather not have any of this, the new Disable attachment archival core setting opts out of everything in one toggle. Features that depend on permanent URLs will fall back to the old behaviour and break when Discord's URLs expire, but it's your call.

Other things worth pulling out​

Two more headline additions that didn't fit a section of their own:

• Temp Channels: Channel Archiving. When everyone leaves a temp channel, it can now be moved to a hidden archive category instead of being deleted. When the creator rejoins the creation channel, their archived channel is restored with its previous settings (public or private mode, allowed users) intact.
• Team Goals: Voice Activity Goals. Staff can now be evaluated on voice activity alongside the existing message goal. Weekly voice-minute targets, per-role overrides, a /team-goals voice-progress command, separate achieved-and-failed message templates, and %voiceMinutes% and %voiceGoal% placeholders.

And a grab bag of changes most servers will notice:

• Self-role dropdowns now confirm before applying. Picking roles in a self-role dropdown opens an ephemeral confirmation listing what will be added or removed. Apply or cancel. The original public message stays untouched.
• Admin Tools: Always-Temporary Roles and Role Bans. Define roles that auto-expire after a configurable duration (e.g. 24h), and roles that auto-ban anyone who gets them. Members with Manage Roles are exempt from role bans.
• Welcomer: treat join roles as base roles. Opt-in setting that keeps every regular member's join roles in sync. If one gets removed, the bot adds it back, including after a quarantine release. Quarantined and pending members are excluded so it doesn't interfere with moderation.
• Levels: daily stats and richer level-ups. /profile shows messages today and voice time today next to lifetime totals. Level-up messages get seven new placeholders (%xpGained%, %xpType%, %totalXP%, %nextLevelXP%, %totalMessages%, %messagesToday%, %voiceTimeToday%). New /calculate-level command shows exactly how much XP a target level costs.
• Birthday: a lot of it. A Set Birthday button on the embed (configurable label), an option to disable year input, a Components V2 layout, a user-display-mode picker (mention, tag, or nickname), daily channel cleanup, pre-birthday notifications with configurable lead times, and a new /birthday upcoming subcommand.
• Ping Protection: reworked user panel. /ping-protection user panel is now a dropdown-driven view with granular data deletion (pings only, moderation history only, or a full wipe with cooldowns), role-based ping thresholds per rule, and category-level whitelisting.
• Advanced Logging: more honest log channel. Bans and unbans are recorded again (regression fixed), kicks are logged too, and member joins and leaves get their own log with account age on joins and tenure plus roles-at-leave on leaves.
• AI Chat Channel. The "Troll" and "Conspiracy theorist / Liar" personalities have been retired for EU AI Act compliance. Servers using them fall back to the default personality on next reload. Custom system prompts and the remaining personalities are unaffected.

For the rest (Activity Streak, Applications, Color-me, AFK, Giveaways, Holidays, Invite Tracking, Info Commands, Levels, Name-List Cleaner, Nicknames, Polls, Quiz, Starboard, Suggestions, Team-List, Twitch and YouTube notifications, and a fair bit of cross-cutting infrastructure), the full per-module breakdown is in the in-dashboard changelog.

How to update​

If you're on the v3 branch, restart your bot once and v3.23.1 is live. The new modules show up in the module catalog, the new options are visible in their settings pages, and existing configurations keep working as before.

Two things are worth flipping intentionally rather than leaving on defaults:

1. Verification. If you'd like the new in-channel flow, head to verification settings and switch the mode. Legacy DM captcha stays selected for existing servers, so nothing changes until you opt in.
2. Attachment archival. Defaults are sensible (moderation and starboard on, deleted-message logging off). If storage quota matters to you, check your usage on the files page and decide whether to opt out via the Disable attachment archival core setting.

Greetings from Munich,
- Simon

I sat on this one for a few months while we ran the beta with our Members, and I'm honestly relieved to be shipping it to everyone. The TL;DR: V4 messages can do things V3 messages can't, and the editor itself is much nicer to live in.

What changed​

Building a message in SCNX used to mean wrangling embeds. You got 10 of them. They sat below your message content. Your buttons ended up at the bottom of the message no matter what you did. If you wanted a different shape, tough.

Discord shipped a new system - Components V2 - that gets you out of that. V4 is our editor for it. Easier to show than tell, so:

Stuff V4 lets you do​

A few things that were awkward or impossible before.

Sections: text on the left, accessory on the right​

The thing I missed most in V3: putting an image next to a paragraph. Embeds let you have a thumbnail in the top-right, but it was always tiny and always in the corner. If you also wanted a button - well, the button went to the bottom of the message, not next to the text it belonged with. So you'd write a paragraph, point to it, and hope the reader scrolled down and back up to see what the button actually did.

Sections fix this. Text on the left, one accessory on the right (either a thumbnail or a button), in the same row. Two Pixel Haven examples - import either to a test field to see what I mean.

The thumbnail variant is a "Meet the staff" card. Each section is one team member, their bio, and their avatar beside it:

Import the Staff Card

The button variant is a tournament list - each section is a bracket, and the "Sign up" button sits where you'd naturally click it:

Import the Tournament Schedule

Multiple "embeds" with text and buttons in any order​

In V3 the order was fixed: message content on top, then embeds, then buttons, in that order. Always. In V4 you can stack containers however you want, with their own colors and their own buttons inside each one:

Server icon sits next to the greeting. Each rule has its own little thumbnail. The buttons are right there with the content they belong to. One message, no second post needed.

Import the Welcome + Rules message

A real image grid​

V3 was rough on images. The first one went into the embed, the rest got attached at the bottom, and the order Discord chose to show them in was its own business. Media Gallery is a proper grid component now, with alt text on every image.

Import the Game Library - five Steam capsules in a grid, with two CTAs underneath. The kind of thing you'd pin to a #welcome channel.

Drag to reorder​

Everything in V4 is draggable. Components inside containers, options inside dropdowns, buttons inside action rows. If you've ever wanted to move an embed three slots up in V3 and ended up just rebuilding the whole message because that was faster, you'll appreciate this immediately.

Autocomplete​

Small thing but I keep noticing it: type % in any text field and you get a menu of every parameter available there - %userTag%, %guildName%, %memberCount%, etc., with a description on each one. Arrow keys to pick, enter to drop it in. No more flipping back to the docs to remember if it's %userTag% or %user_tag%.

Same trigger pattern for emoji (:) and for @ and # mentions in fields that support them.

The full component list​

For reference, here's everything you can drop into a V4 message:

40 per message, all draggable, containers can hold any of the above except other containers.

Where it shows up​

Everywhere SCNX has a message editor. Bot Log-In messages, Custom Commands, Support Bot templates, welcome and level-up messages in the various module configs, and so on. The parameters work the same, copy/paste between fields works the same, the share-link feature works the same. The fields just have V4 available now wherever they make sense.

On V3 already?​

You don't have to do anything. V3 is still the default in most places, there's no deprecation clock, and existing messages keep working. If embeds do the job for you, leave them.

If you do want to bring something into V4, the V3 toolbar has a Convert to V4 Editor button. It maps embeds to containers, buttons to action rows, thumbnails to section accessories. Two caveats:

1. One-way - you can't convert back.
2. Author icons, footer icons, and embed timestamps have no V4 equivalent. They'll be dropped during conversion.

The full mapping is in the docs.

Try it​

Open any message editor field, click Switch to V4 Editor, start dragging stuff in. The Message Editor documentation has the full component reference, the limits page, and the V3 → V4 conversion table.

If you build something and hit a wall - a component you wish existed, a flow that feels off, a limit that bit you - let me know on Featureboard (search for "Message Editor", there's already a thread or two) or in the SCNX Discord. The beta caught a lot, but you'll find things we didn't.

Greetings from Munich,
- Simon

It's shipping today in early access for holders of the ScootKit Membership Early Access perk. Like everything we release this way, it'll be free for every SCNX server about 3 - 4 months from now.

The dev journey, on video​

I posted two updates on YouTube while building this - more "here's what I'm working on" than polished product demos. They're rougher than what you see in the dashboard today (naming, UI and some flows changed since), but if you want a sense of how Voice Support actually came together, they're the honest version.

Members already saw these when they went up. Now they're here for everyone.

What it does​

From the user side:

1. Join the configured queue voice channel.
2. The bot DMs you with your position and an estimated wait time. The DM updates itself as the queue moves.
3. When a staff member pulls you, you're moved into their support channel.
4. The call happens. When it ends, you optionally rate it.

From the staff side:

1. Sit in any voice channel in the configured support category.
2. Click Pull Next User on the dashboard, or run /voice next.
3. The user lands in your channel. Buttons in the voice chat let you add notes, look up the user's prior sessions, or end the call.
4. If debriefs are on, a form pops up after the call. If feedback is on, the user gets a rating DM.

Two state modes cover the common cases:

• Staff presence - open whenever at least one staff member is in voice.
• Opening hours - open during configured business hours regardless of who's online. Can be combined with a staff-summon ping that fires when users arrive but no staff are connected.

The rest of the feature list​

• Priority queue via configurable roles.
• Waiting music (per-channel playlist, and a separate closed-state playlist for after-hours listeners).
• AI-generated audio - a Generate (AI) tab in the audio picker produces TTS clips and background music, paid in AI Coins. Details here.
• Per-call notes and call history (10 prior sessions per user, with duration, assigned staff, and recent notes inline).
• Call threads under your dashboard channel, pre-filled with the user's prior context.
• Debrief form for staff, feedback DM for users, both optional and both with logging.
• Per-user blocklist with optional reason + expiration.
• Adaptive wait-time estimate based on a rolling window of recent calls.

Getting access​

Voice Support needs two things:

1. An active SCNX Unlimited or Professional plan (like the rest of the Support Bot - it's not available on the free Starter plan).
2. The Early Access perk on ScootKit Membership (Membership is a separate subscription from your SCNX plan).

If you have both, the Voice Support section is live in your Support Bot dashboard. Flip the toggle, point it at a queue channel, a support category, and a dashboard channel.

If you don't have the perk, you've got two options: pick it up now and get Voice Support today, or wait 3 - 4 months for general release and get it without the subscription.

On Membership​

Straight answer first: ScootKit Membership exists because this kind of development costs real money. Months of dev time, infrastructure, ongoing tuning - someone has to pay for it, and Membership is how. That's the first-order reason the subscription is there, and we'd rather say it plainly than dress it up.

What's also true, and not as cover for the funding side: the way we run Early Access gives us a proper testing window. Putting Voice Support in front of a few dozen members first means we catch edge cases our own test servers never hit, UX rough spots we didn't notice in testing, and workflows our team doesn't run. By the time Voice Support rolls out to every SCNX server, it's a better feature because those members shook it loose first. That's a real second-order upshot we didn't initially design for but genuinely benefit from.

Members also get the stuff we make along the way: dev vlogs, sneak peeks, occasional deep-dives into what we're building next. The two videos above started as member-only content. There's more of that going out regularly.

Nothing behind the perk is permanently exclusive. Everything we ship in early access rolls out to every SCNX server on the 3 - 4 month clock. If the model works for you, welcome in. If not, we'll see you at general availability - with a better product than it would have been without the people who joined early.

Feedback​

Voice Support is in early access for a reason. Edge cases we haven't hit yet, flows that feel off on servers bigger than ours, features we cut and probably shouldn't have - this is the window to tell us. Drop notes in the SCNX Discord or on Featureboard.

Greetings from Munich,
- Simon

We have some massive news to share today. If you've been part of the SCNX community for a while, you know that we thrive on your feedback. Whether it's a suggestion for a new module, a tweak to the leveling system, or a crazy idea - your input builds this platform.

But as our community has grown, keeping track of all those brilliant ideas has become a challenge. We realized we needed a better system. We needed a way to make feedback transparent, organized, and truly democratic.

Today, we are proud to launch Featureboard - a community-driven feedback platform that uses AI to provide you with a better experience and give us a clearer overview of new features.

Why we built Featureboard​

For a long time, user feedback was a bit of a "black box." You would submit an idea, and maybe you'd hear back, or maybe it would end up on a long internal to-do list. We wanted to change that.

Featureboard was built to solve three main problems:

1. Transparency: We want you to see exactly what other users are suggesting and what our team is thinking.
2. Prioritization: We can't build everything at once. Featureboard lets the community vote, so the most important features rise to the top naturally.
3. Communication: You deserve to know when an idea is planned, in progress, or shipped.

More Efficiency, More Features​

While Featureboard creates a much better experience for you, it is also a game-changer for our team. It allows us to keep track of suggestions effortlessly and get a clear view of what is most important to our community. Because of the new AI features, maintenance is very easy - tasks like moderation are completely automated. This means we spend less time sorting tickets and more time building the features you want.

How it Works: Ride the Wave​

Using Featureboard is simple, but powerful. It puts the control in your hands.

1. Share Your Idea Got a vision for SCNX? Submit a suggestion. It could be a new feature, an improvement, or even a completely new product direction. You can write your suggestion in multiple languages: FeatureBoard translates it automatically, and our AI-powered system even helps categorize it for us.

2. Processing This is where the magic happens. Browse the feed to see what others are suggesting. If you see an idea you love, give it an upvote. Featureboard calculates metrics like the Popularity Score and the Implementation Likelihood live, keeping the community updated in real-time.

3. We Build It We use top-voted suggestions to guide our roadmap. While a high upvote count doesn't automatically guarantee implementation - we still have to consider technical feasibility and our overall product vision - it is the absolute best way to show our team what you want to see next.

Full Visibility with the Public Roadmap​

One of our favorite parts of Featureboard is the Open Roadmap.

Instead of wondering if a feature is coming "soon," you can check the roadmap to see the real-time status. You can see what's In Progress, what's Planned for the near future, and what's currently in the Backlog for the community to vote on.

This level of transparency means no surprises. You drive the decisions, and you can watch as your feedback turns into real features on SCNX.

Supporting Development & Priority Suggestions​

Memberships​

Featureboard is free for everyone to browse and submit. However, building and maintaining high-quality software takes resources. To help us continue offering fair prices and cool features, a ScootKit Membership Level 3 gives you Prioritized Suggestions for faster review, priority placement, and doubles your daily upvote limit from 5 to 10. You also get priority support on our Discord.

Sponsor a Feature: Fast-Track Your Vision​

Sometimes, you need a feature now, and you don't want to wait for it to climb the voting ranks.

We are introducing a new "Sponsor a Feature" option. This is for power users or businesses who want to guarantee that a specific feature gets built. When you sponsor a feature, you get:

• Guaranteed Implementation: Your feature gets a dedicated development slot.
• Direct Access: You'll be in direct communication with the dev team during the build.
• Branding: Your name or logo will be displayed as the sponsor on the roadmap and release notes.

It's a win-win: you get the tool you need, and the whole community benefits from the new feature. Learn more about Sponsoring.

One More Thing... Featureboard for Everyone​

We built Featureboard because we needed it for SCNX. But as we built it, we realized that other communities need this too.

If you run your own SaaS, Discord community, or software project, you can use Featureboard too. We are offering a white-label version that is fully branded to your project, endlessly customizable, and AI-powered.

If you are interested in launching your own feedback platform, we would love for you to get in touch with us.

Start Voting Today​

We are incredibly excited to open this up to you. The roadmap is already filling up, and there are some great suggestions waiting for your vote.

Head over to the new site, log in, and help us shape the future of SCNX.

the holidays are just around the corner! Christmas is coming up, so it's time to prepare an event for your Discord – and it's super easy with SCNX!

📅 December starts soon​

December starts soon - and with it, many people will open a door every day until Christmas again. This increases the anticipation for Christmas and sweetens the day for many people. This year, you too can offer your members a virtual advent calendar - filled by you! Users can only open one door per day, which is why they keep coming back to your server. This ensures an exciting and fun time for your community, while your server becomes more active at the same time.

🔎 The virtual advent calendar with SCNX​

Are you looking for an exciting and interactive way to offer your community a unique event this December? Then we can only recommend hosting an advent calendar for your community with our brand new "Winter Holidays" module on SCNX!

The module allows you to send 24 doors in a channel of your choice. From December 1st to December 24th, members can open today's door every day and find a message designed by you, optionally with a role of your choice. You can hide really anything behind the doors - more on that later.

🛠️ How it works​

• Configure the module: You define some basic settings and determine what awaits users behind the doors. The module is very easy to understand - should you still have problems, our excellent customer support is happy to help.
• Your community opens the respective door every day: Users can interactively open today's door in your advent calendar channel every day. Only then do they receive the message customized by you and possibly more, such as a role.
• The interactive advent calendar updates automatically: Your advent calendar updates automatically every hour - including the current date and other exciting info, e.g. how many users are participating in the advent calendar.

❓ Why is a virtual advent calendar a good idea for my community?​

With a virtual advent calendar, you make your server stand out from the crowd while offering your community an exciting event. During this event, users come back to your server every day, so you can expect higher activity. It is also extremely easy to use and create for both your community and you, even though you can customize almost anything.

💡 Tips for an even better event​

Further tips and tricks, which also go into more detail on the concrete implementation on your server, can be found in our scnx.tips article.

✉️ Questions or Problems?​

You can find more information about the module in the [scnx.tips article](https://scnx.tips/, otherwise we are always happy to help on scnx.app/help or directly on our Discord.

Make this December an unforgettable experience for your Discord community with an exciting virtual advent calendar powered by SCNX!

🤖 Incluso anche in tutti i piani: Il nuovo Bot Supporto V3 (Beta)​

Incluso in tutti i piani SCNX a pagamento c'è il nuovo Bot Supporto V3. Abbiamo ricostruito il nostro sistema da zero. La "Modmail" diventa ufficialmente "Bot Supporto".

Questo aggiornamento combina il meglio di entrambi i mondi, offrendoti due modi per gestire il supporto:

1. Sistema Modmail (Classico): Il sistema basato su DM che conosci.
2. Sistema Ticket (Nuovo!): Un sistema basato sui canali molto richiesto, dove i ticket vengono creati all'interno del tuo server.

Caratteristiche Principali della V3:​

• Sistema Ticket: Gli utenti aprono ticket tramite messaggi dedicati, creando canali privati sul tuo server.
• Riassunti basati sull'AI: Scegli di generare riassunti concisi di intere conversazioni alla chiusura di un ticket, risparmiandoti la lettura di lunghi log.
• Visualizzatore Log Web: Dì addio ai file di testo semplice. I log sono ora visualizzati in una bellissima interfaccia web simile a una chat.
• Flusso di lavoro avanzato: Le funzionalità includono Richiesta Team, Ticket Multi-Utente, Valutazioni Ticket e Chiusure Automatiche per Inattività.

Scopri di più su Bot Supporto V3 (e impara come provarlo) nel nostro post del blog.

Non perdere l'occasione: i saldi terminano il 3 Dicembre!

Nuovo Metodo di Pagamento: Ora puoi pagare usando Paysafecard! Questo rende più facile che mai ottenere un piano senza bisogno di carta di credito o conto bancario.

👉 Acquista ora ai Saldi del Black Friday

Questo è più di un semplice rebranding. Per molto tempo, Modmail è stato un potente strumento per il supporto basato sui DM. Ma con la crescita della nostra piattaforma, l'abbiamo ricostruito da zero per essere una soluzione di supporto completa. Il nome "Modmail" semplicemente non era più sufficiente.

Oggi lanciamo la Beta V3, che è ora disponibile per tutti. Questo aggiornamento introduce la nostra singola funzionalità più richiesta: un sistema di ticket completo che vive direttamente all'interno del tuo server.

"Modmail" + "Ticket" = Bot Supporto​

Con la V3, Bot Supporto ora ti offre due potenti modi per gestire il supporto, che puoi utilizzare separatamente o contemporaneamente:

1. Sistema Modmail (Classico): Il sistema basato sui DM che già conosci. Gli utenti inviano un DM al bot e il tuo team lo gestisce in un thread privato.
2. Sistema di Ticket (Novità!): Un sistema basato su canali, molto richiesto. Gli utenti aprono un ticket tramite un messaggio dedicato e un canale privato viene creato per loro all'interno del tuo server.

Questo aggiornamento è incentrato sul darti la flessibilità di costruire l'esperienza di supporto perfetta per la tua community.

Il nuovissimo sistema di ticket: un'analisi approfondita​

Questa è la star dello spettacolo. Il nuovo sistema di ticket è costruito per flessibilità, potenza e flussi di lavoro di supporto professionali. Sposta il supporto dai DM ai canali privati direttamente sul tuo server.

🏷️ Topic dei Ticket avanzati​

I topic dei ticket sono ora completamente integrati nel nuovo sistema. Puoi impostare topic diversi per ciascun pannello di ticket, aiutandoti a categorizzare e instradare le richieste dal momento in cui vengono create. Ancora meglio, puoi abilitare i pulsanti nel canale per consentire al tuo team di modificare il topic di un ticket dopo che è stato aperto, assicurando che tutto rimanga organizzato.

🙋 Sistema d'Assegnazione del Team​

Consenti al tuo staff di gestire in modo efficiente le richieste in arrivo. I nuovi ticket possono essere annunciati in un canale di notifica dedicato. I membri del team possono quindi assegnarsi ai ticket, promuovendo la responsabilità e riducendo i tempi di risposta.

👥 Ticket multi-utente e ticket multipli per utente​

La flessibilità è la chiave. Un singolo utente può ora aprire più ticket contemporaneamente. Inoltre, puoi (opzionalmente) consentire agli utenti di aggiungere altri membri del server al loro ticket, rendendolo perfetto per scenari di supporto di gruppo o risoluzione collaborativa dei problemi.

⏰ Promemoria e chiusure automatiche per inattività​

Mantieni la tua coda pulita ed efficiente. Configura il bot per sollecitare gentilmente gli utenti nei ticket inattivi. Se un ticket rimane inattivo per troppo tempo, puoi fare in modo che il Bot Supporto lo chiuda automaticamente, assicurando che solo le conversazioni attive occupino il tempo del tuo team.

⭐ Valutazioni e recensioni dei ticket​

Raccogliere feedback è essenziale. Il sistema di valutazione a 5 stelle è ora disponibile per il sistema di ticket! Quando un ticket viene chiuso, l'utente può valutare la propria esperienza, offrendoti preziose informazioni sulle prestazioni del tuo team.

✨ Messaggi di apertura ticket illimitati e intelligenti​

Crea quanti pannelli "Apri un ticket" desideri, posizionandoli in canali diversi con topic e autorizzazioni unici. Il sistema è intelligente: se hai meno di cinque topic dei ticket per un pannello, li visualizzerà automaticamente come pulsanti semplici e puliti invece di un menù a tendina, rendendo l'interazione ancora più rapida.

Funzionalità rivoluzionarie per ENTRAMBI i sistemi​

Non abbiamo solo aggiunto un nuovo sistema; abbiamo potenziato l'intera piattaforma. Queste nuove funzionalità sono disponibili sia per il sistema Modmail che per quello dei ticket.

✨ Riassunti dei ticket basati sull'AI​

Questa è una svolta. Invece di leggere un log di 200 messaggi, la nostra nuova funzione di riepilogo AI (opzionale) genererà un breve riassunto dell'intera conversazione alla chiusura di un ticket. Puoi comprendere il problema dell'utente e la soluzione del team in pochi secondi.

✨ Un nuovo visualizzatore di log basato sul Web​

Dì addio ai noiosi file .txt! Abbiamo creato un nuovo e bellissimo visualizzatore di log basato sul web. I log sono ora visualizzati in un'interfaccia pulita, simile a una chat, facile da leggere, cercare e condividere. Puoi anche vedere un esempio dal vivo in azione.

✨ Nomi dei canali dinamici​

Ora puoi configurare i topic dei ticket per sovrascrivere automaticamente il formato del nome del canale. Ciò significa che puoi identificare immediatamente lo scopo di un ticket solo dal suo nome!

Per esempio:

• ❗-ticket-123 per una Segnalazione di Bug
• ⭐-ticket-219 per una Partnership

Altri potenti strumenti per la V3:​

• Statistiche combinate: La dashboard ora presenta una panoramica combinata, che mostra le statistiche di Modmail e dei ticket, fianco a fianco.
• Cronologia ticket: Un nuovo comando /ticket-history ti consente di visualizzare facilmente i ticket di supporto passati di un utente.
• Rinominare i ticket: I membri del team possono ora rinominare i ticket per una migliore organizzazione.
• ID dei ticket personalizzati: Modifica il formato degli ID dei ticket, aggiungendo prefissi o utilizzando ID casuali invece di numeri sequenziali.
• Importazione festività: Importa facilmente le tue festività locali per gestire la disponibilità del tuo team.

Aggiornamenti al sistema Modmail classico​

Non abbiamo dimenticato le nostre radici della Modmail! Anche il classico sistema dei DM ha ricevuto alcune fantastiche nuove funzionalità:

• Messaggi informativi avanzati: Ora puoi impostare più messaggi informativi e configurarli per essere visualizzati solo per specifici topic dei ticket. Se un topic ha una sola opzione, il menù a tendina diventa automaticamente un semplice bottone. (Nota: se avevi un messaggio informativo V2, dovrai configurarlo di nuovo nel nuovo sistema più potente).
• Statistiche dei topic: La scheda delle statistiche ora mostra i topic dei ticket più utilizzati, aiutandoti a capire di cosa hanno più bisogno i tuoi utenti.
• Messaggi di valutazione personalizzabili: I messaggi di valutazione del team alla fine di un ticket sono stati migliorati e ora possono essere completamente personalizzati.

Ottieni Bot Supporto oggi​

Questo enorme aggiornamento è disponibile subito nella versione Beta. Si prega di notare che il Bot Supporto è incluso in tutti i nostri piani a pagamento, con il piano Unlimited a partire da soli 4,99 € / mese (o 53,89 € / anno), ma i prezzi potrebbero differire al di fuori dell'Unione Europea in base alla tua regione.

The Strategic Advantage of Linked Roles​

Linked Roles transform a simple permission set into a dynamic tool for community management.

• Instant Authority and Trust: A visible tag like "Moderator" immediately gives weight to a user's message, making moderation and official announcements more effective without members needing to check a profile.
• A Polished, Organized Look: Clearly identified staff and key members make a server feel more curated and professional, helping to attract and retain users who value structure.
• Enhanced Member Recognition: Use Linked Roles to publicly reward valuable members with tags like "VIP" or "Contributor", creating a powerful incentive for others to engage more deeply with the community.

The SCNX Advantage: Powerfully Simple​

SCNX has engineered Linked Roles to be flexible and user-friendly, removing the technical barriers typically associated with this feature.

• No-Code Setup: While setting up linked roles can be complex through Discord's developer tools, SCNX provides an intuitive dashboard that guides you through the process in minutes, no coding required.
• Deep Customization: Tailor the user authorization page with over 30 themes and custom branding to match your server's aesthetic. The page also supports multiple languages automatically. For a fully integrated feel, the Professional Plan allows for the removal of SCNX branding.
• Flexible Management: Easily assign or remove roles from the SCNX dashboard. A unique "Public Role" option allows any server member to claim a specific role, streamlining onboarding for roles like "Verified Member".
• Dedicated Support: Get expert help with any questions on the official SCNX Discord server, with support available in English and German.

A Quick Guide to Implementation​

The SCNX dashboard makes the setup process straightforward.

Prerequisites​

• Your server must be on a paid SCNX plan (Unlimited or Professional) or have an active free trial.
• You are the owner, a trusted admin with the Co-Owner permission or an administrator of the server you want to enable this feature.
• Set aside 5-10 minutes to complete the process.

Setup Overview​

1. Connect SCNX and Discord: The SCNX dashboard will guide you through creating a Discord Application and securely linking it to the SCNX platform.
2. Create and Link Your Role: First, create the Linked Role in your SCNX dashboard. Then, create a corresponding standard role in your Discord server's settings. In that role's "Links" tab, add a requirement and select your application and the role you just created.
3. Ensure Visibility: For the role tag to appear in chat, you must go into the Channel Settings for every relevant channel, add the new role, and grant it the "View Channel" permission.

The Seamless Member Experience​

Claiming a role is simple for your members. They just click the server name, select "Linked Roles," and choose the role they wish to claim. This directs them to the custom authorization page. After a one-time approval, they can claim any future roles without repeating the process. Members can also easily remove the role tag themselves from their server profile.

Redefine Your Server's Identity Today​

SCNX Linked Roles offer the easiest way to bring a new level of professionalism and clarity to your Discord server. By providing instant visual recognition for staff and key members, this feature builds trust and creates a more organized community experience.

If you're on the SCNX Unlimited or Professional plan, this feature is available now. Log in to your dashboard to begin the simple setup process. You can also find a full setup guide in our documentation.

The SCNX Level System has always been a powerful tool for engaging your community and rewarding activity. We're thrilled to announce three game-changing new features that offer unprecedented customization and control over how XP is earned and how levels are calculated: XP Multiplicators, a new Level Simulator and Custom Level Formulas!

These additions are designed to give you the ultimate flexibility in tailoring the leveling experience to perfectly match your server's unique vibe and community dynamics.

Fine-Tune Engagement with XP Multiplicators​

Ever wanted to give a little extra XP boost to users with specific roles, like server boosters or event winners? Or perhaps encourage more activity in a particular channel? With XP Multiplicators, now you can!

By default, every user and channel has a multiplication factor of 1. This improved feature allows you to:

• Assign Role Multiplicators: Grant users with certain roles an XP bonus for their messages. If a user has multiple roles with multipliers, these factors multiply together, offering significant boosts for your most dedicated members!
• Set Channel Multiplicators: Designate channels where messages will earn more (or less!) XP. Want to fire up conversation in your #general-chat? Give it a 1.5x multiplier! Need to gently discourage XP farming in a #bot-spam channel? A 0.5x multiplier will do the trick.

Example Scenarios:

• VIP Boost: A user with a special "VIP" role, which has an XP multiplier configured, sends a message. Because of their role, they receive extra XP for that message compared to a user without the VIP role.
• Featured Channel & Booster: A user who is a Server Booster (which comes with its own role-based XP multiplier) posts in a channel that you've designated as a "featured" channel (which has a channel-based XP multiplier). Because both their role and the channel provide an XP boost, they earn an even greater amount of XP for their message in that specific place.
• Multiple Roles: If a user holds several different roles, and each of those roles has its own XP multiplier, all those multipliers effectively combine. This results in a significantly larger overall XP boost for any message they send, acknowledging their multiple contributions or statuses on the server.

We recommend using moderate values for boosts to keep things balanced, but the power is in your hands!

Check out our full and newly improved Level System documentation for more information and configuration instructions!

Craft Your Perfect Progression: Custom Level Formulas​

While our pre-set level curves (Easy Linear, Default Linear, Exponentiation) suit many servers, we understand that some admins want absolute control. Introducing Custom Level Formulas!

This feature allows you to define the exact mathematical formula used to calculate the XP required to reach any given level. You are no longer limited to our selections; you can design a progression that's as gentle or as steep as you desire.

How it works:

You'll provide a mathematical formula where the variable x represents the level to be calculated. The result of the formula will be the total XP needed to achieve that level x.

Examples of valid custom level curves:

• Our "Easy Linear" curve: 750x+((x−1)
• Our "Exponentiation" curve: 350^2(x-1)
• A simple custom curve: 1000*1.5*x

Configuration: In the "Module Configuration" under "Type of level curve," select "Custom formula." Then, input your mathematical masterpiece into the "Custom Level Formula (if enabled)" field.

Learn more about our built-in level curves and about custom level curves for more information and configuration instructions!

Visualize Your Victory: Meet the Brand New Level Simulator!​

So, you've crafted what you believe is the perfect custom level formula, or perhaps you're trying to decide between our standard curves with your unique XP settings. But how will it actually feel for your users? How many messages will it take to hit those milestone levels?

Stop guessing and start simulating! We're thrilled to also introduce another fantastic new tool to your SCNX arsenal: the Level Simulator!

This powerful, interactive feature is designed to give you a clear, practical preview of your leveling progression. Think of it as your personal test environment for all things XP and levels. By simply entering the values from your module configuration (like the average XP given per message) and selecting a level curve – whether it's one of our defaults or your own custom creation – the simulator will instantly show you:

• XP Needed Per Level: See exactly how much cumulative XP is required for a user to reach any specific level you input.
• Estimated Messages to Level Up: Get a tangible idea of the effort involved by seeing an approximation of how many messages a user would need to send to achieve that level.

Why the Level Simulator is Your New Best Friend​

The Level Simulator is more than just a calculator; it's an indispensable tool for fine-tuning your server's engagement strategy:

• Perfecting Custom Formulas: When designing your own level curve, the simulator is invaluable. You can instantly see if your formula creates a smooth progression, if it becomes too difficult too quickly, or if it's perhaps too easy. Tweak your formula, re-simulate, and iterate until it feels just right.

• Choosing the Right Standard Curve: Even if you're not using a custom formula, the simulator helps you understand how our 'Easy Linear', 'Default Linear', or 'Exponentiation' curves will behave with your specific XP-per-message settings. Balancing the Grind: Avoid making your leveling system a frustrating slog or so rapid that levels feel meaningless. The simulator helps you find that sweet spot.

• Informed Decisions: Make changes to your XP settings or level curve with confidence, knowing you've seen a projection of their impact beforehand.

• Save Time & Frustration: Instead of waiting for days or weeks to see how your new setup is performing live and then having to readjust (and potentially reset progress), you can get a very good idea upfront.

• How to Use It: You'll find the Level Simulator within the Levels module documentation page. Simply input your intended configuration values where indicated, select or input your level curve, and see the results! It's an intuitive way to experiment without any real-world consequences on your server.

A Quick Note: Currently, the Level Simulator focuses on XP gained from messages. The XP awarded for time spent in voice channels is a separate calculation and isn't factored into the simulator's estimates.

We strongly encourage you to make the Level Simulator your go-to tool when setting up or adjusting your level system. Paired with the flexibility of custom level formulas and XP multipliers, it gives you unparalleled control to craft a truly engaging and rewarding experience for your community.

Get Started Today!​

These new features are designed to empower you to create a truly unique and engaging leveling system on your SCNX-powered Discord server. Dive into your module configuration dashboard, experiment with multipliers, and craft the perfect level curve to reward your community in a way that's all your own.

We can't wait to see the creative ways you'll use XP Multiplicators and Custom Level Formulas! As always, check out the full documentation for all the details.
