Everything you need to know about Top Gaming

General
What is Top Gaming?
Top Gaming is the Discord Top List. Here you can discover, rate and list the best gaming and community servers to attract new members.
Is Top Gaming free?
Yes! Top Gaming is completely free to use. You can search servers, add your own server, vote and write reviews – all at no cost. There is an optional tier system that unlocks through community engagement.
How do I sign up?
Simply sign in via Discord Login. Click "Login" and authorize Top Gaming with your Discord account. We only receive your username and avatar – no password.
Adding Servers
How do I add my server?
Invite the Top Gaming Bot to your Discord server (link in the Dashboard under "+ Add Server"). The bot automatically detects your server and lists it on the site. You need Administrator permissions on the server.
Why is my server not showing?
Make sure the bot is on your server and has the "Create Invite" permission. Without this permission, no invite link can be generated. Also check if your server is marked as "active" in the Dashboard.
Can I customize the server description?
Yes! In the Dashboard under "Edit" you can customize description, category, tags, banner and more. The description supports plain text (max. 200 characters for the preview on the homepage).
Can I delete my server?
Yes! You can remove your server from the list anytime in the Dashboard under "Edit". The server can be re-added at any time by re-inviting the bot.
Voting
What is voting?
Voting moves a server higher in the list. The more votes a server has, the more visible it is to new members. Every logged-in Discord user can vote once per day for one server.
How often can I vote?
You can vote once per day for a server of your choice. The cooldown is global – after voting, you must wait 24 hours before you can vote again.
What is a Vote Streak?
A Vote Streak counts how many consecutive days you have voted. Your current streak is displayed as a 🔥 badge next to your name.
  • 1–6 days: Normal badge
  • 7–29 days: Hot badge (brighter orange)
  • 30+ days: Legendary badge (with pulse animation)
Your personal best streak is also saved. If you miss a day, your streak resets to 0.
What is the Vote Reminder?
From Trusted tier onwards, you can enable the Vote Reminder. You'll receive a notification in your inbox as soon as you can vote again.
Tier System
What are Tiers?
Tiers are rank levels that you unlock through active use of Top Gaming. Each tier brings benefits like custom URLs, banners and more. There are 6 levels: Basic, Trusted, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platin.
How do I level up?
Your tier is based on your Community Score. You increase it by:
  • Listing servers: +150 points per server
  • Members: +50 points per 100 members
  • Months active: +25 points per month
  • Votes: +5 points per 10 votes
You can find the detailed breakdown in the Dashboard under "Tier".
What benefits does each tier provide?
  • Basic: 3 tags per server
  • Trusted (2,500 points): 5 tags, Custom URL, Vote Reminder, Public Profile
  • Bronze (10,000 points): 7 tags, Banner, Card Background
  • Silver (20,000 points): 10 tags, YouTube Trailer, Cross-Promo
  • Gold (50,000 points): 12 tags, Featured Listing
  • Platin (100,000 points): 15 tags, API Access
Can I lose my tier?
Yes, if your Community Score drops below the tier threshold, there is a grace period before you are demoted. You'll see a warning in the Dashboard when a demotion is approaching.
Reviews
How do I rate a server?
Go to the detail page of a server and scroll down to the review section. You can give 1-5 stars and write a comment. You must be logged in to submit a review.
Can I change my review?
Currently, each user can submit one review per server. Server owners can reply to reviews.
Can I report inappropriate reviews?
Yes! On the detail page there is a "Report" button. Inappropriate content will be reviewed by the admin team and removed if necessary.
Security
Why are links and emails removed from descriptions?
To protect our community, links, URLs and email addresses are automatically removed from server descriptions (short and long). This prevents scam, phishing and unwanted advertising. Your Discord invite link is still displayed on the server page – only in the description texts are links not allowed.
How can I report a suspicious server?
On every server detail page you'll find a Report button (flag icon). Briefly describe the reason (e.g. wrong tags, scam, NSFW without labeling). Our admin team reviews every report.
