Discord Bots are a fantastic way to set up and efficiently manage a Discord server. While some bots can be set up to play music or initiate games and activities, other bots can be used to moderate a server by creating a ticket system. A ticket system efficiently resolves issues within a server and can be set up so that members are put in a private text channel with server moderators. The ticket system is dynamic and highly customizable, with options for a sleek interface utilizing built-in panel buttons.
