What can the Suggestions module do?

To use the Suggestions module, you need to create at least one category. Click Create new category.
Give the category a name, this is what users see when submitting a suggestion. In this example we use General Suggestion.

Commands
/suggest
Submits a suggestion in the selected category. After selecting a category, a modal opens where the user enters their suggestion text. The suggestion is then automatically posted in the configured channel.
The posted suggestion appears as a container with a title like "Suggestion #1", the submitted text, the selected category, and the name of the creator. All members can see the Upvote, Downvote, Accept, Reject, and Reset votes buttons. Only members with one of the configured team roles can accept, reject, or reset votes. If "Activate create thread" is enabled, a discussion thread is automatically created under each suggestion.
