Updated October 21, 20261 min read

Getting started

1

Choose how suggestions are submitted

Choose public and private-review channels, minimum length, cooldown, categories, and anonymous-submission rules.

2

Collect votes

NightCrew tracks thumbs-up and thumbs-down reactions without counting its own starter reactions.

3

Review suggestions

Search and filter ideas, then assign category, priority, owner, private notes, and a public response.

4

Update the status

Choose a status that tells members what happens next: Awaiting review, Planned, In progress, Implemented, Declined, Duplicate, or Archived.

5

Let the member know

NightCrew updates the original Discord embed and optionally DMs the member when status changes.

Settings reference

Use this reference when you need to check what a setting does.

Public channel

Destination for member suggestion embeds and voting.

Review channel

Optional staff-only notification destination.

Category

Server-defined classification supplied with /suggest.

Low, normal, high, or urgent staff triage.
