Boards & Categories
Organize your suggestions into structured boards (linked to Discord channels) and categories for better management and filtering.
How Boards Work
Each suggestion board is linked to a specific Discord text channel. When a member submits a suggestion to that board, the suggestion embed is posted in the linked channel where the community can vote on it.
If no boards exist when someone uses /suggest for the first time, a "General" board is automatically created in the current channel.
Tip: Create separate boards for different types of feedback. For example: "Feature Requests" linked to #feature-ideas, "Bug Reports" linked to #bug-reports, and "General Feedback" linked to #feedback.
Creating Boards via Dashboard
Boards are created and managed through the web dashboard at Dashboard → Suggestions → Boards.
Board Configuration Options
Board Name
A unique name for the board (e.g., "Feature Requests", "Bug Reports"). Shown in the /suggest board: autocomplete.
Channel
The Discord text channel where suggestion embeds are posted. Use the searchable channel selector to pick the channel.
Mode
How suggestions are posted. Default is TEXT_CHANNEL — each suggestion appears as a message with voting buttons in the linked channel.
Default Vote Mode
Choose between UP_DOWN (upvote and downvote buttons) or UP_ONLY (upvote button only).
Default Visibility
Set whether suggestions default to PUBLIC or PRIVATE.
Auto Thread
When enabled, a discussion thread is automatically created under each suggestion for community conversation.
Allowed Roles to Post
Restrict who can submit suggestions to this board. Leave empty to allow all members.
Board Selection in Commands
When using /suggest, the board: option supports autocomplete. Start typing and available boards appear as suggestions.
/suggest idea:"Add dark mode" board:Feature Requests
/suggest idea:"Fix login bug" board:Bug Reports
/suggest idea:"More events"
If you don't specify a board, the suggestion is posted to the first available board (usually "General").
Categories
Categories provide an additional layer of organization within boards. They allow members to tag suggestions and help staff filter by type.
Creating Categories (Dashboard)
Go to Dashboard → Suggestions → Categories to manage categories. Each category has:
Using Categories in Commands
The category: option in /suggest also supports autocomplete. Start typing and matching categories appear.
/suggest idea:"Improve loading speed" category:Performance
/suggest idea:"Redesign settings page" board:Feature Requests category:UI/UX
Example Categories: Common setups include: "UI/UX", "Performance", "Balance", "Content", "Security", "Quality of Life", "New Feature", "Bug Fix".
Organizing & Filtering
With boards and categories in place, suggestions organize themselves as members submit them. The dashboard provides advanced filtering:
Filter by Board: View all suggestions within a specific board to focus on one area of feedback.
Filter by Category: Search across all boards to find suggestions in a specific category.
Filter by Status: See all suggestions in a specific status (e.g., all Accepted, all In Progress).
Sort by Score: Identify the most popular suggestions by upvote/downvote score to prioritize development.
