Suggestion channels become read-only. Members select Submit on a panel instead of posting a message.
Before you begin
- You need Manage Server.
- In each suggestion channel, Discortics needs View Channel, Manage Channels, Manage Roles, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, Add Reactions, Use External Emojis, and Read Message History.
Set up Suggestions
Set up from the Dashboard
- Open Dashboard → Settings → Suggestions.
- Choose one or more suggestion channels.
- Optionally set accepted and denied channels, author DMs, vote stats, neutral votes, and banned members.
- Save the change.

The Suggestions section on Dashboard → Settings
Discortics makes the channel read-only for members and posts the Submit panel. If setup is blocked, grant the permissions it asks for and save again.
Limits
| Resource | Public | Prime | Custom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suggestion channels | 2 | 5 | 10 |
| Banned members | 5 | 10 | 20 |
Each submission can have text and up to five images or videos, 10 MB in total.
Submit a suggestion
- Open a suggestion channel.
- Select Submit on the panel at the bottom.
- Enter your suggestion and optionally attach media.
- Submit the form.
Discortics posts it, adds the vote reactions, and moves the panel back to the bottom. Normal messages, commands, and DMs can't create suggestions. Banned members can view the channel but can't submit.
Review suggestions
You need Manage Server. Use a message link, a channelId-messageId pair, or a message ID if you only have one suggestion channel.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/suggestion accept suggestion:<reference> reply:<optional reply> | Accepts it |
/suggestion deny suggestion:<reference> reply:<optional reply> | Denies it |
/suggestion status suggestion:<reference> status:<pending|accepted|denied> | Changes its status |
- Accepted and denied channels only work when you have exactly one suggestion channel.
- DM Status Change tells the author about the decision.
Remove a suggestion channel
Discortics restores the channel's original permissions, unless it's also used for Confessions. Existing suggestions can still be reviewed.
Troubleshooting
The panel is missing. Discortics restores deleted panels automatically. If it doesn't appear, save the setting again and check that Discortics can manage the channel.
Media was rejected. Use only images or videos, no more than five files, and 10 MB or less in total.
