Suggestions

A channel for your community's ideas – with voting, a thread per suggestion and a response from the team.

SetupMessages

Suggestions give your community a channel for ideas. Every message there becomes a numbered suggestion with 👍/👎 voting and its own discussion thread. Your team sets the status – such as "Accepted" or "Implemented" – and can add a response.

You set it up under Dashboard → Engagement → Suggestions (/dashboard/<server>/vorschlaege).

Note

Not the same as /suggestion: that command sends feedback to the yurna team. This feature is about suggestions for your own server.

Setting it up#

Create a text channel in Discord, for example #suggestions.
Give yurna these permissions there: Send Messages, Embed Links, Manage Messages and Create Public Threads.
Open Dashboard → Engagement → Suggestions, pick the channel under Suggestion channel and click Set up suggestions.

How a suggestion works#

A member simply writes their idea in the channel (at least 5, at most 2,000 characters; one image up to 8 MB is carried over).
yurna turns it into "Suggestion #N" with 👍/👎 buttons and a thread. The original message is removed to keep the channel tidy.
Members vote with the buttons. Clicking the same button again withdraws the vote.
The team sets the status – via the Team button on the suggestion or in the dashboard. The embed's color and status update along.

Each member can submit one suggestion every 30 seconds.

Statuses#

Status	Meaning
Open	Newly submitted
Under review	The team is looking at it
Accepted	Will be implemented
Declined	Won't be implemented
Implemented	Done

Voting is only possible while a suggestion is Open or Under review.

In the dashboard#

Key figures: open (and how many are under review), accepted, implemented and declined suggestions.
All suggestions, newest first, with votes and status; filterable by status.
Set status: pick a new status, optionally write a response to the community (up to 1,000 characters) and use Post in the thread to have the new status and response posted in the thread.
Open in Discord jumps straight to the suggestion.
