Suggestions

Community suggestion system with voting, threads, staff decisions, and customizable workflow.

The Suggestions module provides a complete suggestion workflow. Members submit ideas, the community votes on them, and staff can approve, deny, consider, or mark suggestions as implemented.

Submitting Suggestions

Any member can submit a suggestion:

.suggest <text>

Aliases: suggestion-submit, idea Cooldown: 5 seconds

The suggestion is posted to the configured suggestion channel as an embed with vote buttons. A unique number is assigned to each suggestion for easy reference.

Examples:

.suggest Add a movie night channel
.suggest We should have weekly game tournaments

If a submit channel is configured, suggestions can only be submitted from that specific channel. Otherwise, they can be submitted from any channel.

Staff Decisions

Staff members (Administrators, users with Manage Guild, or users with a configured staff role) can update the status of any suggestion:

approve

.approve <number> [reason]

Marks the suggestion as approved. The embed turns green.

Examples:

.approve 42
.approve 42 Great idea, we'll add this

deny

.deny <number> [reason]

Aliases: reject

Marks the suggestion as denied. The embed turns red.

Examples:

.deny 42
.deny 42 This doesn't fit our server theme

consider

.consider <number> [reason]

Marks the suggestion as under consideration. The embed turns yellow.

Examples:

.consider 42
.consider 42 We're evaluating the feasibility

implemented

.implemented <number> [reason]

Marks the suggestion as implemented. The embed turns green.
