Every week RootMC recognizes the most active voices on Discord and the most active players in-game. Scores are saved to the database; Root-AI makes the final call on Discord winners and filters spam.
Awards run every Sunday at 08:00 HST (Pacific/Honolulu) for the previous Mon–Sun week.
The Top Participator role goes to the top 5 Discord members who contributed the most meaningful activity that week.
Staff are included. #ingame-chat bridge messages count. Automated bot channels (e.g. #bot-spam, daily report feeds) are not counted toward messages or reactions.
You need at least 5 weighted points in a week to qualify.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Message block — one run of your messages until someone else speaks in that channel | 1 |
Community vote — /proposal vote (linked players) | 5 each |
| Reaction — emoji on a community message (bots excluded) | 1 each |
Weighted score = blocks + (votes × 5) + reactions.
Back-to-back messages from you in the same channel count as one block — not one point per message.
A new block starts when you post again after another person has spoken in that channel. Rapid “e e e e” floods in a row without anyone else talking are still one block and one point.
Activity is synced from Discord into the database on a schedule. Votes are recorded when you cast them on proposals.
After raw scores are calculated, Root-AI reviews the week’s saved activity for top candidates and:
If Root-AI is unavailable, the server falls back to weighted scores with automatic spam heuristics.
The Top Active Player Discord role and in-game [Top Active Player] prefix go to the top 3 linked players by playtime earned that week only — not lifetime playtime.
/link and web verify.The first week after playtime tracking starts may only seed a baseline; awards begin once a full week of deltas exists.
Only the #1 Top Active Player receives one week of Pro membership:
[Pro] prefix (synced on join from your linked account), in addition to [Top Active Player] for ranks 1–3.Discord Top Participator winners receive the Discord role only — not automatic Pro (unless you also place #1 in-game).
Separate from weekly awards, you can support the server with a RootMC Pro Membership. Full perk list and checkout buttons: rootmc.net/pro. At checkout, enter the Minecraft username who should receive Pro (yourself or a gift).
/vault; tradeable until redeemed in-game.The beneficiary must already have a linked Minecraft account. Weekly award Pro is temporary and separate from paid months and Lifetime.
Two separate roles refresh every Sunday:
| Role | Who gets it | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Top Participator | Best Discord activity (after Root-AI) | Top 5 |
| Top Active Player | Most weekly in-game playtime (linked) | Top 3 |
Roles are removed from last week’s holders when the new post goes out.
No for Top Participator — Discord activity counts from your Discord user ID. Linking is required for in-game awards and Pro membership.
Root-AI excludes obvious spam from that week. One-word floods in a row are only one message block anyway.
Yes on Discord. In-game playtime uses the same rules for everyone with a linked account.
