Starboards

Highlight the best messages of your server in a dedicated channel by interacting with a reaction.

How does it work?

The starboard system highlights messages receiving a certain number of reactions, which DraftBot then displays in a dedicated channel, chosen or created during the configuration.

Polls, stickers and forwarded messages appear in the highlighted messages, even if the author is no longer part of the server.

Configuring the system

⫸ Open the DraftBot panel

Scroll down the list of systems and you will find the section dedicated to starboards.
