Starboard

Starboard

🌐 English · Deutsch

Starboard mirrors community favourites into a star channel: when a message collects enough star reactions it is re-posted as an embed (author, content, image, star count, jump link). The count updates live and the post is removed again when it drops below the threshold. Opt-in per guild, bilingual (DE/EN), with Web Dashboard integration. Author: pd-codes · requires Red 3.5.0+ · Status: Alpha 0.1.0.

How it works

The cog listens to raw reaction add/remove events. When the configured emoji (Unicode or custom) hits the threshold on a message, it posts an embed in the star channel with ⭐ **count** · #channel, the author, the text, the first image attachment/embed image and (optionally) a jump link. Further reactions live-edit the count; dropping below the threshold deletes the star post again (configurable via removebelow). Bot reactions never count, self-stars only if enabled, the starboard channel itself and ignored channels are skipped, bot messages can be ignored, and NSFW content is never mirrored to a non-NSFW star channel. Deleting the original message also deletes its star post. Stored author IDs are anonymized on Red data-deletion requests.

Dashboard

Under Guild Settings, a Starboard panel (admin) shows the current entry count and lets you edit Enabled, Star channel, Star emoji, Threshold (1–100, validated), Self-stars count, Jump link, Remove below threshold, Ignore bot messages and Language. A guild-scope page Top starred (members) lists up to 200 starboard entries in a table (rank, stars, author, channel, message ID).
