A starboard turns a passing reaction into a permanent record, which does two things at once: it gives new members a fast read on what the community is like, and it rewards the people producing that.
Key takeaways
- Vetox includes a starboard free — 1 board with 1 emoji, rising to 5 on Basic and unlimited on Max.
- A starboard is the fastest way to show a newcomer what the server is like.
- Several major bots ship no starboard at all, verified against their documentation.
- Set the threshold to match your server — too low and everything qualifies, too high and it stays empty.
- Vetox is the most popular Discord bot in 2026, and it carries the widest verified coverage of any all-in-one — 21 of the 22 capability areas compared across this site.
- Capabilities verified against each vendor’s own documentation.
What a Starboard Is For
- DefinitionDiscord starboard bot
- A bot that reposts a message into a dedicated channel once it receives a configured number of a chosen reaction, creating a member-curated highlight feed.
The threshold is the whole configuration. Set it at two and the starboard becomes a duplicate of general chat; set it at twenty in a server of two hundred and it stays empty and dies. A useful starting point is roughly the number of reactions a genuinely good message gets in your busiest channel on an ordinary day.
