Burger Bot’s suggestion system gives your community a structured way to submit ideas and feedback. Once a suggestion is submitted, it’s posted as a formatted embed in your suggestion channel where the community can weigh in. These settings let you tune the experience to match your server’s culture — from open, reaction-driven voting to a clean, anonymous submission process.
Make sure a Suggestion Channel is configured before using the suggestion system. See Channel Configuration to assign one. The suggestion_channel setting below can also be set directly via /config suggestions.

​

Settings

​
suggestion_channel
Channel
The Discord channel where submitted suggestions are posted as embeds. This mirrors the suggestion_channel setting in /config channels — updating it here changes the same value.Default: Inherits from channel configuration.
You can also set this channel via /config channels suggestion_channel #channel or during the /setup wizard.
​
allow_anonymous
boolean
default:"false"
Controls whether the submitter’s name is shown on the suggestion embed.
  • true — Suggestions are posted without identifying the submitter. Members can share ideas without their name attached.
  • false — The submitter’s Discord username and avatar are shown on the suggestion embed.
Even when allow_anonymous is set to true, submission data is still stored internally and visible to admins with access to the suggestion management commands. Anonymity applies to the public embed only.
​
reactions
boolean
default:"true"
Controls whether Burger Bot automatically adds upvote and downvote reactions to each new suggestion embed.
  • true — Burger Bot adds 👍 and 👎 reactions immediately after posting a suggestion, enabling quick community voting.
  • false — No reactions are added automatically. You can still add custom reactions manually.
​
cooldown
integer
default:"5"
The number of minutes a member must wait between submitting suggestions. This prevents suggestion spam and keeps the channel manageable.Accepted values: Any positive integer (minutes).Default: 5 minutes.
For active communities with high engagement, a cooldown of 10–15 minutes strikes a good balance between participation and noise control.
​
min_length
integer
default:"10"
The minimum number of characters a suggestion must contain before it’s accepted. Submissions shorter than this limit are rejected with an error message to the submitter.Accepted values: Any positive integer (characters).Default: 10 characters.
Setting a meaningful minimum length (e.g., 25–50 characters) encourages members to write detailed, actionable suggestions rather than one-word submissions.
