Join professions together in a community to ask for solutions and alert of problems

Hi all,

So I was thinking - You know how you have all these "MC Owners" Discords, I was thinking along the lines of a "Service Networking" Discord which brings together different professions into their own different groups with a couple channels each where they can notify each other about bad actors/malicious wrongdoers, can do @ Query and this will ping the relevant people who selected it so they can ask questions, alert of problems ahead of time about exploits or issues, etc, and more.

In simple terms, I thought of this just for system admins, but I thought this could branch out further. An example of this would be "@ Query Hey guys, MariaDB isn't downloading on this host, perhaps it's due to their website banning this hosts IP block or something? Are you experiencing the same thing?" I recently ran into this and thought:

• I am not going to make a post about it, takes too long and is really daft, clouds up the market and feels like spam.
• I don't want to DM the other admins as that feels unnecessary as some of them might of not run into the issue, so that wastes time getting a proper answer.

Like this could branch out to staff members of MC networks, so we can report to other staff "Heads up, these guys are being malicious, make sure to watch them if they come join you, griefing/xraying, yada yada", etc. Or you could do this for artists, like warning of people who might scam out, or system admins, warning of an exploit that needs patching or a service outage, the list goes on in my head lol.
