Tired of seeing the same old conversations in your gaming community? Sharing valuable resources can spark new discussions and help everyone level up. These ready-to-use templates make it easy for members to recommend their favorite guides, videos, or tools and explain why they matter.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Inviting members to recommend resources taps into the collective knowledge and enthusiasm of your gaming community. When people share tools or guides that have genuinely helped them, others are more likely to trust and try those resources, building a culture of support and learning.
This approach not only encourages engagement but also brings practical value to members of all experience levels. It gives lurkers and less active users a casual way to participate, while top contributors can showcase their expertise. Over time, resource-sharing helps create a helpful, collaborative environment that keeps gamers coming back.

Start by posting one of these templates in your community to prompt members to share their favorite articles, videos, or tools. Encourage them to include a link or describe how the resource improved their gameplay. You can pin a resource-sharing thread, set a specific resource day, or integrate these prompts into your regular content calendar. Consider following up with highlights or summaries to showcase top recommendations.
For all platforms, ensure resource links are accessible and safe for your community. Use clear calls to action, pin popular resource threads, and encourage participation through reactions or comments. Adapt the template language to fit your platform's vibe and rules.
Each gaming genre attracts players with unique interests and needs. For RPG communities, ask members to recommend lore databases, build planners, or quest guides. In MOBA or FPS groups, focus on tactic breakdowns, pro-player streams, or meta-analysis sites. Use genre-specific terminology and categories in your templates to prompt targeted, relevant suggestions.
When users recommend unofficial mods or tools, ensure your template includes a disclaimer prompt about safety and compliance with the game's Terms of Service. Encourage clear labeling of official vs. fan-made resources and remind members to verify trustworthiness before downloading. This approach fosters a safe environment while supporting the modding culture prevalent in many gaming communities.
Customize your templates to prompt for both playstyles by including separate fields or tags (e.g., 'Best solo quest guides' vs. 'Top clan coordination tools'). Highlight the difference in needs—for example, solo achievement trackers versus group raid scheduling apps—to ensure recommendations serve the entire community.
Platform fragmentation is a common challenge in gaming. Use template options to either tag resources by platform or create separate threads for PC, console, and mobile. This prevents confusion and ensures that recommended resources (like voice chat apps, stat trackers, or controller mappings) are relevant to each audience.
In your template, require users to explain why they're recommending a resource and how it benefits the community (e.g., 'Describe your experience using this guide' or 'What specific aspect of gameplay did this tool improve?'). Add a note prohibiting affiliate links and off-topic content, and encourage peer moderation through upvotes or reporting mechanisms.
Incorporate a section in your template for members to nominate outstanding resources for a sticky post or shared document (like a community wiki or Google Doc). Rotate or refresh these highlighted recommendations based on game updates, major patches, or seasonal events to keep the curated list relevant for both new recruits and seasoned players.
