Help & FAQ
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)
What is the Vote Reminder?
Everyone can enable the Vote Reminder in the dashboard. You get a notification in your inbox and, if you like, a Discord DM from the bot as soon as you can vote again.
Can I vote directly in Discord?
Yes! Just type /vote on a listed server. The same rules as on the website apply (one vote every 24 hours).
What is the weekend bonus?
On Saturday and Sunday (German time) every vote counts double for the monthly ranking.
Can I reward my voters?
Yes, free for everyone: add a vote webhook URL in the dashboard under Edit. We send the data of every vote to your bot or website. With the API (
/api/v1/servers/{id}) you can also fetch server data and check whether a user has voted. 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
What benefits does each tier provide?
- Basic: 3 tags per server
- Trusted (2,500 points): 5 tags, Custom URL, 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
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.
Who can review a server?
Any logged-in user who has been a member of the server for at least 3 days. Server owners can't review their own server. This keeps reviews honest.
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.
