Sticky Messages
In a fast-moving Discord channel, important information like rules or FAQs can quickly get buried under a mountain of chat. Sticky Messages solve this by ensuring a specific message always stays “stuck” to the very bottom of the channel, no matter how many people are typing.
📌 Why Use Stickies?
Section titled “📌 Why Use Stickies?”- High Visibility: Perfect for
#rules,#faq, or active support channels where you want instructions to be the last thing a user sees. - Dynamic Context: Use them in “Help” channels to remind users to provide specific details (like their OS or version number).
- Event Tracking: Keep the current leaderboard or event schedule always visible during a community competition.
🛠️ Setting Your Sticky
Section titled “🛠️ Setting Your Sticky”Configuration is simple. Run /sticky set <content> in the channel where you want the message to appear.
- Content Limit: You can type up to 2,000 characters in a single sticky.
- Formatting: Full Markdown support (bold, italics, code blocks) is included.
🔄 How the “Sticky” Magic Works
Section titled “🔄 How the “Sticky” Magic Works”Zero Degree monitors the channel in real-time. Every time someone sends a new message:
- ZeD deletes its previous sticky message.
- It then re-posts a fresh copy at the bottom of the conversation.
- Rate-Limit Protection: The bot includes a 2-second “cooldown” between updates to ensure it doesn’t spam Discord’s API, keeping your server running smoothly.
🗑️ Removing a Sticky
Section titled “🗑️ Removing a Sticky”If the event is over or you no longer need the message, simply run /sticky remove in that channel to stop the process.
[!TIP] Pro-Tip: Keep it Concise. Because sticky messages re-post frequently, we recommend keeping them relatively short (under 10 lines). This ensures they don’t take up too much screen space for your mobile users while still providing the essential info.
