Where to find it
Open the dashboard, pick your server and choose Suggestions in the sidebar (on a phone: under Features in the bar at the bottom). That is two clicks from your server list. You can also press Ctrl K anywhere in the dashboard and type the name.
In the dashboard, pick your server and choose Suggestions in the sidebar. Under Channel, pick where the ideas go. Switch it on with the switch in the banner and save.
Tip
A channel where members can read but not write works best. They send ideas with the command from any other channel.

Step 2: Decide what a post looks like
Under The post, Open a thread under each suggestion keeps the talk about an idea with it. Post without the author’s name hides who sent it from members; you still see the author in your list.
Important
For threads, ZombyIO needs Create Public Threads in the channel. Without it the suggestion is still posted, just without a thread.

Step 3: Members send ideas
Members type /suggest in any channel and write their idea. The bot posts it in your channel with a number, and everybody votes with the two buttons. Each member has one vote and can switch sides or take it back.

Something not working?
The problems people run into most often, and how to fix each one.
A suggestion was not posted
Check that Suggestions is switched on and that ZombyIO has View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links in the channel. The command tells the member when the post failed.
Members are told the suggestion box is full
Your plan keeps a number of suggestions open at once. Answer some with approved, implemented or denied, and members can send new ones. Premium keeps more open.
A member cannot send a second suggestion
Under Answers and pace, a wait between two suggestions of one member is set. Pick a shorter one, or No wait.
I deleted a post in Discord by hand
The suggestion leaves your list the next time it is answered or a vote is taken back. To take one down cleanly, use Remove in Your suggestions: the post and its votes go together.
Ask in the ZombyIO support server. Bring your support ID, your server’s support ID and a sentence about what you expected to happen, and someone will look at it with you.
