Starboard

The starboard automatically reposts messages that receive enough star reactions to a dedicated channel.

Quick Setup

1. Set the starboard channel:

   /starboard channel #starboard

2. (Optional) Adjust the threshold:

   /starboard threshold 3

3. The starboard is now active. When a message gets 3+ star reactions, it appears in #starboard.

Configuration

Channel

/starboard channel <channel>

Set where starred messages are posted.

Threshold

/starboard threshold <count>

Minimum stars required (1-25). Default is 3.

Emoji

/starboard emoji <emoji>

Change the star emoji. Default is ⭐. You can use any emoji, including custom server emojis.

Self-Starring

/starboard selfstar <true|false>

Allow users to star their own messages. Default is false.

Toggle

/starboard toggle

Enable or disable the starboard without changing settings.

Ignoring Channels

Prevent messages from certain channels from appearing on the starboard:

/starboard ignore <channel> add      # Ignore a channel
/starboard ignore <channel> remove   # Unignore a channel

Common channels to ignore:

• NSFW channels
• Bot command channels
• Staff channels

How It Works

1. A user reacts with the star emoji on a message

2. When reactions reach the threshold, the message is posted to starboard

3. The starboard post includes:

   • Original message content
   • Author info
   • Star count
   • Jump link to original
   • Attachments/embeds

4. If more stars are added, the starboard post updates with the new count

Tips

• Set a reasonable threshold - Too low (1-2) floods the starboard, too high (10+) makes it exclusive
• Use a unique emoji - Consider a custom server emoji to make your starboard special
• Ignore bot channels - Prevent bot messages from being starred
• Disable self-star - Prevents users from starring their own messages for more authentic highlights
