Starboard

Highlight your best messages

Dashboard → Modules → Starboard

How it works

  1. Someone posts in the listen channel

    Aeon can auto-react with ⭐ so the post is ready to rate. Only human stars count.

  2. Stars hit the threshold

    When enough members react, the message qualifies, bot stars never pad the count.

  3. Winner lands on the starboard

    Aeon republishes a styled card (embed or plain text) into your highlight channel.

Set it up

  1. Step 1Open Starboard and enable it

    Go to Modules → Starboard and turn the module on. Status stays Needs setup until both channels are chosen.

  2. Step 2Pick listen + starboard channels

    Listen channel is where people post and react. Starboard channel is where winners are reposted. Use two different channels.

  3. Step 3Set the threshold

    Default is 3 human ⭐ (range 1–50). Leave Auto-react on if you want Aeon to place the first star for convenience.

  4. Step 4Tune the post layout, then Save

    Choose embed or plain text, color (#fbbf24 by default), and which blocks to show (author, message, source, star count, image). Save when it looks right.

Key options

Template tokens

{user}, {message}, {jump}, {stars}, {channel}, {server}, and avatar helpers for custom copy.

Bot permissions

Add Reactions + Read History in the listen channel; Send Messages + Embed Links in starboard.

Common mistake

Using the same channel for listen and starboard creates loops and noisy highlights.
