Suggestions

The Suggestions module lets your members submit ideas for improving the server, vote on them (up or down) directly on Discord, and lets you reply from the dashboard.

On the Discord side

To see how members submit ideas and vote on Discord, read the Discord guide to Suggestions.

Availability

The suggestion system is configured from the Community → Suggestions section of your dashboard: Open the Suggestions module ↗. Moderating suggestions requires moderator or administrator permissions.

Moderating suggestions from the dashboard

Every active suggestion on your server is listed on the Community → Suggestions page.

1. Filter the list

At the top of the page, quick filters let you sort suggestions by status:

• All: shows every suggestion.
• Pending: submitted suggestions that have not yet had a reply or a staff decision.
• Approved: suggestions accepted by the team.
• Rejected: suggestions that were turned down.
• Implemented: suggestions that are now live.

2. Reply and decide

For each suggestion shown, you can see the number of upvotes and downvotes collected on Discord.

To rule on a suggestion:

1. Find the suggestion in the list.
2. In the text field below it, fill in the Public response or comment field.

   Comment required

   You must enter a comment or a justification before any of the decision buttons will work.

3. Click the button matching your choice:
   • Approve: accepts the idea (the suggestion turns green).
   • Reject: turns the idea down (the suggestion turns red).
   • Implemented: indicates the suggestion is now live (the suggestion turns blue).

3. Real-time synchronisation

As soon as you confirm a decision on the dashboard:

• The suggestion’s status is updated on the page.
• Kotbo instantly edits the original message on Discord (the embed changes colour and shows your response comment along with the name of the moderator who decided).
• Your reply is visible to every member on Discord.
