Starboard
Copy the most-loved messages into their own channel
When a message collects enough of a chosen reaction, Hez copies it into a highlights channel — the community curating its own best moments without a moderator doing it by hand.
Turning it on or off
Every server chooses for itself — switch Starboard on or off from your dashboard, under Engagement. When it's off: messages will not be copied to your highlights channel.
Setting it up
- 1
Pick your star emoji and a highlights channel
Any emoji works, not just the literal star — pick one that fits your server's tone.
- 2
Set a threshold that actually filters
Too low and the channel fills with noise; a good starting point scales with how active your server is — a bigger server needs a higher bar.
- 3
Add tiers once the base threshold feels right
Tiers are a refinement, not a starting requirement — get the single-threshold version working first.
Tiers
Rather than one fixed threshold, you can define multiple tiers — for example a lower star count for a standard entry and a higher one that swaps in a different, fancier emoji once a message really takes off. Hez always displays whichever tier's threshold the message has actually crossed.
Ignoring and bypassing
Ignored channels are excluded from starboard entirely — the usual choice for a channel that's already a highlights feed, or one you don't want members star-bombing. Bypass roles let specific members' messages onto the starboard without needing the reaction threshold at all, typically reserved for staff announcements worth preserving regardless of reaction count.
Commands
Tips & things people get wrong
/starboard topsurfaces your server's most-loved messages of all time — worth pointing new members at as a "best of" if your server has been running a while.- A threshold that never gets hit is as useless as one that's hit constantly — check in after a week and adjust either direction.
