How the Boarding Feature Works
Reaction-Based Boards
- Setup: Use /board setup to define the board type, channel, emoji, and threshold.
- Trigger: When a message receives the specified emoji and exceeds the threshold, it is sent to the configured board channel.
- Updates: Reaction counts on the board message update dynamically as users add or remove reactions.
Pin Board
- Setup: Configure a Pin Board using /board pin setup.
- Trigger: When a message is pinned in any channel, it is sent to the configured Pin Board channel.
- Blacklist: Channels can be blacklisted using /board pin blacklist to prevent their pinned messages from being posted.
Blacklist Management
- Use /board blacklist or /board pin blacklist to restrict channels from board posting.
- /board blacklist_status and /board pin blacklist_status display all blacklisted channels for each respective board type.
Notes
- Permissions: The bot requires permissions to send messages, manage messages, and embed links in the specified board channels.
- Emoji Validity: Ensure the emoji used is either a standard Unicode emoji or a valid custom guild emoji.
- Multiple Boards: Different board types (Starboard, Clownboard, Skullboard) can use unique emojis and thresholds.
- Rate Limiting: Commands like /board setup and /board pin setup are rate-limited to avoid accidental misuse.
The Boarding feature is a powerful tool for highlighting and archiving important or engaging messages within your server.
