Starboard
Create a collection of highly-reacted messages in a dedicated channel with Greed’s Starboard feature
The Starboard feature allows you to create a collection of highly-reacted messages in a dedicated channel. When messages receive enough reactions (meeting the threshold), they are automatically posted to the starboard channel. This is perfect for highlighting community favorites, important announcements, or memorable moments.

- Bot must have permissions to:
- Read messages
- Send messages
- Add reactions

Special Features
Star Emoji Progression
When using the ⭐ emoji, the starboard will automatically upgrade the emoji based on reaction count:
- 0-4 reactions: ⭐
- 5-9 reactions: 🌟
- 10-24 reactions: 💫
- 25+ reactions: ✨
Message Format
Starboard entries include:
- Original message content
- Author information
- Channel source
- Jump link to original message
- Reaction count
- Attached images/videos
- Reply context (if the message was a reply)
Batch Processing
The starboard uses a batch processing system to handle reactions efficiently:
- Reactions are queued and processed every 5 seconds
- Messages are processed in chunks of 5 to prevent rate limiting
- Updates are batched to minimize API calls
Starboard messages are automatically updated when reaction counts change, and they’re removed if the reaction count falls below the threshold.
Deleting a starboard channel will automatically remove its configuration. Make sure to properly remove starboards using the remove command before deleting channels.
