Starboard

Posts messages that get enough ⭐ reactions to a starboard channel.

Made by KiteCommunity1 event listener

How it works

When a message gets the number of ⭐ reactions you choose, the bot posts it in the starboard channel with its author, its text and a button to jump to it. Every new star after that updates the count on the starboard post, so a message is only posted once.

Only stars in the server of the starboard channel count, and not the ones in the starboard channel itself. The emoji is set in the event filter of the listener, so you can use a different one, including a custom emoji of your server.

Before you start

  1. 1Turn on the Message Content Intent under Bot in the Discord Developer Portal, so the starboard posts show the text of messages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What permissions does the bot need?

View Channel and Read Message History in the channels members star messages in, and Send Messages and Embed Links in the starboard channel.

Can I use a different emoji than ⭐?

Do I need the Message Content Intent?

Yes, or the starboard posts show no text. Turn it on under Bot in the Discord Developer Portal.

What happens if someone removes their star?

The post stays in the starboard. Its count is updated the next time someone adds a star.
