Sticky Messages
Keep important messages visible at the bottom of your channel with auto-reposting.
Sticky Messages automatically repost important messages to the bottom of a channel when they scroll out of view. Unlike Discord's native pinning feature, sticky messages bypass the 50-pin limit and ensure critical information stays visible and accessible.
Perfect for server rules, announcements, FAQs, or any message that should remain at the bottom of the channel permanently.
What Are Sticky Messages?
A sticky message is a specially marked message that the bot automatically reposts to maintain its position at the bottom of a channel. When the message scrolls up (as new messages are sent), the bot detects this and reposts the message to keep it visible.

Troubleshooting
Message not reposting?
Verify the bot has permission to send messages in the target channel. Check that the sticky message isn't set to a voice channel or category.
Too many copies building up?
Use /sticky cleanup to remove old copies. Adjust the "max copies" setting to keep fewer backups.
Reactions not copying?
Enable the "Include Reactions" option in settings. Some reaction types may not be supported on reposted messages.
