Content Creator Applications on Discord: Questions for Game Servers

Every game community past a few hundred members starts getting the same DM: "Hey, I'm a content creator, can I get the creator role?" Sometimes it is a streamer with a real audience. Sometimes it is someone with eleven videos and a lot of confidence. In DMs, telling them apart takes a conversation each time.

A creator program is a trade. You give something: a Creator role, a private channel with the devs, early access to a build, a tag in the member list, a spot in your events. They give content that brings players in. The application is where you decide who gets that trade.

Who is a content creator application for?

Any server that offers creators something, and wants to choose who gets it:

• FiveM and GTA RP servers with a Streamer role, a streamer channel or a priority queue for people who stream the city.
• Minecraft servers that feature creator builds or give creators a rank.
• Indie game studios running a creator program on their Discord: early playtest builds, press kits, a direct line to the team.
• Esports and gaming communities that want members who make videos about them.

It is different from a staff application. You are not judging how someone handles a raid. You are judging reach and fit, and most of the facts live outside Discord, on their channel. So the form collects claims, and a person on your team checks them.

If another community wants to promote you, rather than a person, that is a partnership: screening partner servers covers it.

Which questions should you ask?

Nine questions and one optional last word. Each one exists because a reviewer would otherwise have to ask it in DMs.

Put the audience ranges you care about in the question's placeholder, for example "under 1k, 1k to 10k, 10k+", so answers come back in a shape you can compare. Questions are text only, so a placeholder is how you steer the format.

How many questions a panel can hold, and how long each answer can be, depends on the plan: see pricing. Ten is plenty for a creator program.

Which answers should the AI score?

Not all of them. In Mico, mark a question as an identifier and it is kept with the application and shown to reviewers, but not scored. Use that for the facts:

• channel links
• main platform
• audience range
• language and region
• time zone

Leave the rest scored: posting rhythm, content style, past work and how they would feature you. Now the AI score reflects the pitch and the effort, and the numbers stay with the person who opens the link. That split matters, because the AI cannot open a link. Scoring an audience claim only rewards whoever rounds up the most.

What goes in each expected answer?

Every question in Mico can carry an expected answer: a private note that tells the AI what your bar is. Applicants never see it. When an answer clearly misses a hard requirement you wrote there, the score is capped at 50, however polished the writing.

Write these before you read the first application, or your bar drifts as you go.

How the score is built, and how far to trust it, is in AI application review on Discord. For writing questions in general, the moderator application template goes deeper.

Who should be allowed to apply?

This depends on who your creators are.

A community server where the creator role is a perk for members who already stream: set a minimum number of days in the server, on any plan. A week or two keeps out people who join only to ask for perks. Mico checks days in your server, not account age, and leaving resets the clock.

A studio taking creators from outside: keep the minimum low, or leave it off. Your best applicant may have joined today because your trailer did well.

On Premium you also get:

• Required roles, so only members with, say, a Verified role or a level role from your levelling bot can apply.
• Blocked roles, so current creators do not apply again, and someone who abused the form cannot.

The full set of checks is in stopping spam applications.

How should you review a creator application?

Give the panel its own review channel and its own reviewer role, such as Creator Manager, so your marketing or community team sees creator requests and nothing else. Then:

The AI score is a first read of the pitch: did they take the form seriously, does the content fit, does it meet the bar you wrote. It is never a check of followers, views or ownership. Mico does not open links or read other platforms. For the same reason, leave automatic accept off on this panel, or a well-written pitch around a channel nobody checked gets your Creator role.

The Talk to them button on the review message opens a private thread with the applicant, on any plan. It is the right place for the ownership check and any follow-up questions. More on deciding as a group in reviewing applications as a team.

What happens when you accept a creator?

Accepting does the routine part for you, once it is set up:

1. The role. Add your Creator role to the panel's roles on accept, on any plan. Mico gives it the moment a reviewer presses Accept. Mico's own role has to sit above the Creator role, or Discord refuses it: giving a role on accept has the fix.
2. The message. The applicant gets a DM with the decision. On Premium you write that accepted message yourself, so it can say what happens next: "Welcome to the creator program. Your Creator role opens #creator-lounge, where we post early builds and event dates. Tag us when your first video is up."
3. The details. Use the thread for anything private, such as playtest access or a date before which nothing can be shown.

Mico does not send game keys or builds, does not track whether a creator posted, and has nothing to do with paying or rewarding them. That stays with your team.

How do you keep a creator program fair?

Creators talk to each other. A program that looks like it favours friends loses the good ones.

• One bar for everyone. Same questions, same expected answers, written before the first application.
• A cooldown after a no (Premium). A denied creator waits before trying again, which gives them time to build the posting rhythm you asked for.
• Rounds, not a permanent open door. Pause the panel between rounds on any plan. On Premium, set daily opening hours and a cap on accepted applications, so intake closes once your creator slots are full.
• Deny with a reason. "We take creators who post every week. Come back after a month of regular uploads" brings people back. Silence does not. See how to word a denied application.
• Do not set the floor too high. A follower minimum that only big names can meet shuts out the small creators who actually play your game every week.

How do you set it up in Mico?

On a server with no panel yet, /setup makes an apply channel, a private review channel, a reviewer role and a starter panel. Then open /panel, create a second panel for creators, and add the questions above. Or describe your creator program and let the AI write a first draft to edit. The setup guide walks through every step, and getting started has the invite.

Where does Mico stop?
