Since pug servers are basically pop-up stores, I figured I would make it easier for people and create general templates. These templates are best for NA SIXES PUGS, but can work for any type of pug or any region.
If you are non-NA or non-6's, the only changes you would have to make are:
- Changing div names
- Changing "Post your RGL" to "Post your <League Name>"
- Changing user limit of Picking-Teams to 18, and Red+Blu to 9 each.
- Adding other TF2 classes under Roles (But this is only if you plan on using Reaction Roles).
Public Pug Server Template (With Ephemeral Roles Bot)
This template is best for pug servers with open invite links and NEEDS "Ephemeral Roles Bot" to function.
https://discord.new/wQ5SrMeqmvaN
* Players must get the "Verified" role before being able to post and join.
* The ER bot makes it so only players in the pug are able to see connect. Helpful in big public servers to avoid raids.
* The ER roles are baked into the pug channel names. If you change any of the PUG-A or PUG-B channel names (Connect, Red, Blu, Picking Teams), it will break the bot.

Public Pug Server Template (Without Ephemeral Roles Bot)
This template is for pug servers with open invite links and does not need "Ephemeral Roles Bot" to function.

* Players must get the "Verified" role before being able to post and join.
Private Pug Server Template
https://discord.new/Ng4U8ZTmfyr3
This template is best for private servers with closed invite links.
* Only Admins and Pug Runners can generate invite links.
* There is no verification role and people can pug immediately upon joining.
* To temporarily ban someone, give them "Time-Out" role.
If you want a simple server with few roles and only want to keep the necessary ones that have permissions, you can delete these without breaking the server:

- Bots
- Warned
- Dodged Med
- Played Med
- Invite
- Advanced
- Main
- Intermediate
- Amateur
- Newcomer
- Scout
- Demoman
- Soldier
- Medic
If anyone ever plans on using Reaction Roles for divs, here are some images you can upload to your server.

Here is a large image showing each template so you don't have to make a server just to see what it looks like.

what's the point of doing 999999 pug servers instead of hosting a few ones with different skill groups/gamemodes?

suprawhat's the point of doing 999999 pug servers instead of hosting a few ones with different skill groups/gamemodes?
Because sometimes people don't join pug servers depending on who is admin, what players are active, what the rules are, how big the skill gap is between members, or whether or not they themselves are banned from most pug groups and have to make one themselves just to play.
It's not as easy as inviting the entire TF2 comp community into one big pug group and then separating them by divisions, at least not using a Discord or Mumble layout.

just stop crying and play, there's no point in dividing the playerbase further. most of these new pug groups last 2 weeks and after everyone is bored of the circlejerk it falls

That's just how it works. Crying about it in a forum post isn't gonna change that, unfortunately.
