Suggestions and polls
Members send suggestions that get voted on and answered by staff, and you run polls with up to 10 options.
Getting started
- 1Open Suggestions & polls in the menu under Server management and turn the module on.
- 2Pick the Suggestions channel under Suggestion settings. Without a channel, suggestions are off.
- 3Optionally pick Staff roles, and click Save.
Suggestions
Members make a suggestion with /suggest or with the button on the panel. The bot posts it with a number, for example Suggestion #12, and the member gets a private link to it.
- Text channel: the suggestion gets ๐ and ๐ buttons with the vote count. You have one vote. Click the other one to switch, or the same one again to take it back.
- Make a thread for every suggestion: every suggestion in a text channel gets its own thread for discussion.
- Forum: every suggestion becomes its own post with the text at the top. You vote with ๐ and ๐ as reactions on the post, and they count as votes.
Answer a suggestion
Staff click ๐ ๏ธ Staff on the suggestion and pick Approve, Consider or Reject. Then they can write an optional Reason. In the dashboard you do the same with Decide in the list of suggestions.
- The suggestion changes colour and shows the status, who answered and the reason.
- Whoever made the suggestion is told in the suggestionโs thread.
- Once a suggestion is approved or rejected, voting is closed. While it is being considered, people can still vote.
- Channel for approved suggestions (optional): if you pick a channel, approved suggestions are also posted there. It can be a text channel or a forum.
Panel with a button
Under Panel, pick a channel and write the Title, Text and Button text. Click Save and then Publish, and the bot posts the panel. The panel has to be in a text channel, because Discord does not allow plain messages in a forum.
Polls
A poll has a question and 2 to 10 options, each with its own button. At the top is a countdown to when it ends, and under each option a coloured bar with the percentage and number of votes. When the time is up, the bot replies with the winner or a tie.
- With one choice you switch vote by clicking another option. Clicking the same one again takes it back.
- With Members can choose more than one you can vote for several options.
- A poll can last at most 60 days.
- 1In the dashboard, click New poll.
- 2Write the Question and the Options, and pick the channel.
- 3Pick when it ends: click 15 min, 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week, or pick the date and time yourself.
- 4Click Start poll.
Under Running polls you see the votes and can end or cancel a poll. Ended polls are under Ended polls.
