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 its own channel for ideas. You quickly see what your members want. 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.

Note

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

In the dashboard#

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 Community & events → Suggestions.
Under Suggestion channel, pick the channel and set the cooldown in minutes (15 by default, 0 = off).
Click Set up suggestions. Later you save changes with Save channel.
Switch suggestions on or off at the top right.

Below that you'll find:

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.

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.

Between two suggestions, a member has to wait for the cooldown. Your team (Manage Messages) is exempt.

By command#

Set up the suggestions channel with /community suggestions. You need Manage Server. Without options the command shows the current state; options you leave out stay unchanged.

Command	What it does	Important options
`/community suggestions`	Sets up or changes the suggestions channel (one per server)	`channel`, `name`, `cooldown` (minutes between two suggestions, 0 = off, up to 1,440), `enabled`
`/suggestion`	Opens a form and sends a suggestion to the yurna team – not to your server	–

Common questions#

Why is no thread created?#

yurna is missing "Create Public Threads" in the channel.

Why does the original message stay?#

yurna is missing "Manage Messages".

What does "Please describe your suggestion in at least 5 characters" mean?#

The message was too short. A suggestion needs at least 5 characters.

Can I have several suggestion channels?#

No. There's one suggestion channel per server. You can switch it at any time, though.
