Im just curious, would a mod on one of the servers have to apply for discord helper even though they already have the ability to kick and ban on discord?

Yes you would have to apply as Discord staff is it's own staff system fully now. Discord Helper has access to things that server mods do not have access to. This change is to shift primary responsibility of discord staffing to discord staff and not server staff (and yes mods will still have access to kick/ban but should only be used following the guidelines in instances where discord staff cannot be reached). Server staff can apply to be discord staff but they are now separate entities to clear muddy areas of moderation responsibilities.
