Good communities are full of ideas — new channels, event nights, rule tweaks. The problem is never a shortage of feedback; it's that feedback lands in ten different places and nobody can tell which ideas people actually want. A suggestions board fixes that by turning opinions into votes.
Two ways to collect suggestions
Members can post ideas with /suggest, which drops a clean embed into your suggestions channel. Or turn on auto-voting: the bot reacts 👍/👎 to every post in the channel so it instantly becomes a voting board. Use whichever fits your community — a structured command, or a free-flowing wall of ideas.
The vote does the sorting
Once an idea is up, members vote with the reactions. At a glance you can see what has real support and what quietly died — no more guessing, no more "I think people wanted this." The loud minority and the silent majority both show up in the same number.
Staff decide with buttons
Suggestions aren't a democracy you're bound by — they're input. When you're ready, your team approves or denies a suggestion with a button, and the embed updates to show the decision. Members get closure ("this is happening" / "not right now"), and your channel doesn't fill up with zombie ideas nobody acted on.
Keeps feedback in one place
Because everything runs through one channel, your suggestions box becomes the single source of truth for "what does the community want next." That's far more useful than scattered DMs and off-hand messages you'll never find again.
Getting started
Enable the Suggestions plugin, pick your suggestions channel, and decide between /suggest submissions or auto-voting on every post. Seed it with two or three real ideas so members see the format — then let the votes tell you where to focus.
