Creator Collective

Let several creators — a team, network or friend group — share one community without stepping on each other. Fans follow the creators they like, each creator has a corner they can moderate, collabs are planned backstage, and one set of rules and one moderation team covers everyone.

Built for: Streamer teams and creator groups · Content networks and collectives · Podcast networks · Friends who collab regularly

Create each category with its permissions first, then add channels inside it and keep them synced to the category. Channel types used: Text, Announcement, Forum, Voice, Stage.

Create roles in this order, from the top of the role list down. A role can only manage roles below it, and bot roles must sit above any role they assign.

Community Onboarding asks which creators each member follows, so they get only those creators' go-live pings and can switch at any time in Channels & Roles.

Default channels: rules, announcements, meet-the-creators, live-now, collab-schedule, general, introductions, clips, collab-ideas, off-topic, creator-one, creator-two

Discord requires at least 7 default channels for Community Onboarding, and @everyone must be able to view and send messages in at least 5 of them.

Suggested first steps: Read #meet-the-creators → Pick the creators you follow in Channels & Roles → Say who brought you in #introductions

Verification level

Medium — A verified email and an account registered for more than 5 minutes; a server with several audiences attracts more raids than one creator's.

Explicit media filter

Scan media content from all members.

AutoMod rules

• Block mention spam (limit around 5), with mention-raid detection turned on if your settings offer itBlock, time out for 1 hour and alert #mod-log.
• Block spam contentBlock and alert.
• Commonly flagged words: the Insults and Slurs and Sexual Content listsBlock and alert.
• Block words in member profile names: every creator's name and common misspellingsBlock and alert, to catch impersonators.
• Custom keywords: "giveaway winner, DM me" and fake-sponsorship phrasesBlock and alert.

Escalation

1. Reminder
2. Message removed
3. Timeout
4. Kick
5. Ban recorded in #shared-banlist for safety issues

• Agree in writing how shared moderation works: a ban for harassment of any creator applies to all of them; conduct issues in one creator's corner are handled by the shared team, not just that creator.
• Creators get moderation rights only in their own corner through channel overrides. That stops one creator removing another creator's fans server-wide.
• Supporter integrations are tied to one creator's account. If the collective uses one, agree whose it is; otherwise keep supporter perks on each creator's own server.
• Raids: pause invites (Server Settings → Invites, or Security Actions in the server menu, which can also pause DMs) and alert every creator who is live.

Try Discord's built-in features first. Bot names are examples to evaluate, not endorsements; CordNexa has no affiliation with any bot. Review the permissions a bot requests before adding it.

These steps are specific to this kit. For the reasoning behind each stage — permissions, onboarding, testing and launch — see how to make a Discord server.

1. Agree the ground rules first

   Before building, the creators agree: who leads, how moderators are chosen, what a shared ban covers, and how new creators join.

2. Create the server and enable Community

   Turn on multi-factor authentication (2FA) for the owner, then enable Community (it requires a verified-email verification level, the explicit media filter set to scan all members, a rules channel and a community updates channel).

3. Create roles top-down

   Collective Lead → Admin → Moderator → Creator → per-creator roles → Creator Mod → Member → ping roles. Bot roles sit below Moderator and above the roles they assign.

4. Build the creator corners

   Create one channel per creator, then add overrides allowing Manage Messages and Manage Threads for that creator's role and their Creator Mod only.

5. Set up #live-now

   Configure the notification bot for every creator, mentioning each creator's own live-ping role, and allow the bot to mention roles in #live-now only.

6. Configure Community Onboarding

   Add one answer per creator to the required question. Discord requires at least 7 default channels, with at least 5 where @everyone can view and send messages.

7. Set up BACKSTAGE

   Hide BACKSTAGE from @everyone, allow Creator, and seed #shared-calendar with the next two weeks.

8. Test permissions

   Use View Server As Role as a Creator: they should moderate only their own corner, and see BACKSTAGE. As a Member, check BACKSTAGE and MOD TEAM are hidden.

1. Respect every creator and every creator's community. No starting drama by comparing creators.
2. Keep each creator's corner on topic for that creator.
3. Don't bring conflicts from other platforms or other communities here.
4. Respect privacy: no sharing or guessing personal information about any creator or member.
5. No self-promotion unless you're a member creator in your own corner.
6. Staff and creators will never DM you about prizes or ask for your login.
7. Moderators act for the whole collective; raise disagreements privately with the Collective Lead.

Need stricter or more relaxed wording? Customise these rules in the rules generator.

Welcome to the collective! Meet everyone in #meet-the-creators, then choose whose streams you want to hear about in Channels & Roles — you'll only get pings for them. Catch who's live in #live-now, share clips in #clips, and pitch your dream collab in #collab-ideas.
