Community Update

Roles, Rewards
& Tools

This server has grown quickly. What started as a small group sharing callouts has turned into a strong community helping each other find restocks, report empties and share deals.

As we grow, we want to do two things: keep the core of the community open and fair, and reward the people who actively help the community run. So we're introducing a role system that recognizes supporters, rewards contributors and gives members access to optional tools and analytics.

Local restock callouts will always remain free for everyone — posted at the same time for all active members regardless of role or tier. No paid tier will ever receive live restock information before the active community. That's how this community started, and that part will never change.

Our Guiding Principles

01Local restocks remain free, immediate and simultaneous for all active members.
02Contributors can earn access to premium tools through activity alone.
03Paid tiers support tools and analytics — not access to the community or its information.
04No member should feel punished for being busy or unable to contribute financially.

The goal is simple: reward the people helping the community while keeping the core experience open to everyone.

Sell to AVA: Your Discord Role Pays MoreTwo columns on every five-tier bulk rate card come from the AVA Discord.
Active Active Role

Hold the Active role in the AVA Discord when you submit and your sorted lot is paid at the Active rate, a step above Trade · Sorted.

Monitor Best Rate

An active Monitor subscription gets our best rate on every line, and unsorted is welcome.

Sign in with Discord on the Sell form so we can verify your role. Your tier locks when you submit, so losing a role later never lowers a lot you already sent. For individual collectors, not stores or businesses.

The Roles

Restock channels are wiped daily at 12:01AM EST. The nightly restock summary is available to all members for 24 hours from the time it posts at 10PM EST. Historical lookup and compiled data beyond that window can be earned through Active Informant or by subscribing to Intel / Monitor Access.

Nothing about the core experience of the server is changing.

Earned role · top contributors each month

Active Informant

Earned

Activity points come from meaningful contributions: valid /restock, /empty, /hope and /remaining callouts, plus Solid Sellers Reports (+1), AVA Bulk Out Callouts (+1) and Cards for a Cause Donation Callouts (+1).

25 seats, held on a rolling basis. Status is evaluated monthly: last month's activity decides this month's seat. Roles update automatically at 12PM EST on the 1st; members who don't retain a top seat lose access then, with no grace period. Each month's Active Informant giveaway winner is picked at random by the bot from the 25.

We also add the top point-earner from each region who missed the top 25, plus one member drawn at random from the rest of the top 100. They get the Active Informant tools for that month as a thank-you.

Exact scoring weights aren't published, to prevent abuse. Callouts are monitored for low-value or repetitive patterns, and false reports made to farm points mean ineligibility for roles and removal from the server. Weighting accounts for geographic coverage, emerging areas of community growth and store density, so quality callouts from developing areas are recognized.

Benefits

  • restock-info-lookup
  • Pokémon Center Lounge
