Starboard surfaces the best content in your server. When a message collects enough ⭐ reactions, Kovra re-posts it in a dedicated starboard channel.

​
Setup

  1. Create a channel like #starboard (or #hall-of-fame).
  2. From Guard → Starboard, enable starboard and pick the channel.
  3. Set the threshold (default: 3 stars).
  4. Pick the emoji (default: ⭐, but any custom server emoji works).
That’s it. New messages that reach the threshold get re-posted automatically.

​
Options

​
Self-star
boolean
default:"false"
Allow the message author to count their own reaction toward the threshold.
​
Allow bots
boolean
default:"false"
Let bot messages reach the starboard.
​
Allow NSFW
boolean
default:"false"
Include messages from channels flagged as NSFW.
​
Remove on unstar
boolean
default:"true"
If the message drops back below the threshold, remove it from the starboard.
​
Ignore channels
channel[]
Channels whose messages should never reach the starboard (e.g. #off-topic, #vent).
​
Ignore roles
role[]
Messages from users with these roles never reach the starboard.

​
What gets posted

The starboard embed matches the Carl-bot convention:
  • Original author avatar + name
  • Original message content (with markdown preserved)
  • Jump link back to the source message
  • Attachment preview (images, gifs)
  • Star count in the title bar (⭐ 5 | #channel)

​
Unstarring

If a message drops below the threshold (people remove their star), the starboard post is deleted automatically. Set Remove on unstar to false to keep historical starboard posts forever.

​
Starboard entries

Dashboard shows every message that made it to the starboard, with star count, source channel, and a jump-to-source link. Useful for curating a “best of” archive or finding content to reshare.
