Anime Figure Collectors

Server structure

Overview

A small server for people who collect anime figures and want the three things a collector actually needs: a place to show the shelf, a way to track what is coming, and a safe way to trade. The Display Case category holds #collection-showcase for full shelves, #new-arrivals for unboxings, #display-setups for cabinets and lighting, and #grail-hunting for the one figure everyone is chasing. Pre-orders get their own category: #pre-order-calendar is a read-only channel where moderators post upcoming release and payment deadlines, #pre-order-chat is for the waiting, and #deals-and-restocks pings the Deal Alerts role when a price drops or a sold-out figure returns. Trading is gated on purpose: only members holding the Trusted Trader role can open an offer in #trade-board, everyone else reads and replies in the thread, and #trade-feedback records how each trade went so the role means something. #authenticity-checks lets members post close-ups before buying second-hand. Photography has two channels, one for shots and one for monthly challenges, and voice covers an Unboxing Live room and a Collector Hangout. Moderators keep a single hidden #mod-room.

When to use it

A small collecting circle keeps running into the same problems: pre-order deadlines missed because they were mentioned once in chat, a trade that went wrong with no record of who vouched for whom, and a bootleg bought because nobody checked the photos. This layout gives deadlines a read-only calendar, gates trading behind a role earned through feedback, and gives authenticity checks a channel of their own.

What makes it different

• Only Trusted Traders can open an offer in #trade-board; everyone else reads until they earn the role.
• #pre-order-calendar is read-only, so payment deadlines never scroll away.
• #authenticity-checks gives second-hand buyers a place to compare close-ups before paying.
• Deal Alerts is a mentionable role, so restock pings reach only those who want them.

Recommended Vetox setup

• Self-Roles

  Post a Self-Roles panel in #collector-welcome for Scale Figures, Chibi Figures, Prize Figures and Deal Alerts so members declare what they collect.

• Reminders

  Schedule Reminders in #pre-order-calendar for each payment deadline so the ping lands the day before, not the day after.

• Tickets

  Use Tickets for Trusted Trader applications: a member opens a ticket with proof of past trades and a moderator grants the role from there.

• Starboard

  Point Starboard at #figure-photography so the best shots of the month float to the top without a separate showcase channel.
