The Sob Board mirrors messages that collect enough 😭 reactions into a channel you choose. It listens to raw reaction events, so it works on messages older than the bot’s cache.

​
Setup

The threshold defaults to 3 reactions. Nothing is posted until a channel is set.

​
How a post behaves

A mirrored post contains the author, a jump link to the original message, the message text (up to 1,500 characters) and any image attachments as a gallery. The heading shows the current sob count. Self-stars don’t count by default: if the author reacts to their own message, that reaction is subtracted from the total. Enable it with the starboard_self_star setting if you want authors to count.

​
What it ignores

  • Messages already in the board channel
  • NSFW channels
  • Channels @everyone cannot view
  • Threads and forum posts (only text channels are mirrored)
  • Emoji other than 😭

​
Stats

Ranks the top ten authors by total sobs received, with how many of their posts made the board. The data comes from the mapping table, so it stays accurate even if board posts are manually deleted.
