Discord bots & community automation

The bots behind the communities

Discord automation for The Camp and DCL: helping members find their people, giving staff better tools and connecting community activity to the web.

My contribution

I maintain and extend a shared utility-bot codebase for The Camp and DCL, configure its community-specific behavior and build the integrations with StaffHub. The work spans Discord interactions, activity tracking, profile rendering and staff-role synchronization.

The Camp + DCL

Shared tools, community-specific behavior

One maintained utility-bot codebase, with each server's roles, channels and clan membership configured separately.

Clan panels & buttons

Clans & member identity

Members create and manage clans, invite or remove members, and customize their clan role, tag, color and icon. Membership is scoped to each server, so a DCL clan and a Camp clan can coexist.

Post & looking-for panels

Anonymous community posts

Button-driven submissions route to community-post or looking-for channels. Image checks, reporting and staff moderation support the flow; author records remain available for staff accountability.

Voice-channel portal

Voice portals

A member can use a portal to move into an eligible voice channel. Each community has its own configured destinations, making it easier to join a conversation.

Automatic role updates

Server-tag roles

The bot grants or removes the configured role when a member's Discord server tag changes, keeping community supporter recognition in sync.

The Camp / StaffHub

From Discord activity to a member platform

The bot captures community events and handles Discord interactions. StaffHub owns the economy rules, profile designs and staff workflows.

?balance

Member points & activity

Track qualifying chat and voice activity and report it to StaffHub. Cooldowns, repeated-message checks and voice eligibility rules limit farming; the website owns balances and reward settings.

?quests

Quests & progress

Read quest definitions from the website, track member progress and report completed objectives. Completion reporting avoids awarding the same quest repeatedly within its reward period.

?rank · ?rep

Ranks & reputation

Show text and voice XP progress through rank commands. Reputation tools let members view feedback and leaderboards, with voting rules enforced by the bot.

?card · ?profile

Shareable profile cards

Request a member's website-designed profile card directly in Discord. StaffHub renders and caches the PNG or animated GIF; sensitive moderation roles are filtered out of card role data.

Website → Discord

Staff roles from StaffHub

Connect Internal Affairs status changes on the website to Discord role grants and removals, reducing manual updates between the staff platform and the server.
