Sticky messages
Keep a note at the bottom of a channel — it re-posts itself whenever someone writes.
Channel rules that scroll away are rules nobody reads. A sticky message stays at the bottom: whenever someone posts, the bot deletes its old copy and posts the note again underneath.
Beta — tested, still young.
Set it up
- Enable Sticky Messages in the Plugin Market.
- On the Sticky Messages page, add a channel and the text that should stay there.
You can run several sticky messages at once — one per channel. Each is plain text, up to 2,000 characters.
Nothing is posted when you save: the sticky first appears after the next member message in that channel. Messages from bots never trigger it.
Good to know
- In a fast channel the sticky lags behind. The bot waits 4 seconds after the last message before re-posting so it doesn't fight a running conversation; in a channel with constant traffic it may sit several messages up. That's a deliberate trade-off against spamming your channel.
- Editing the text takes effect on the next re-post, not immediately. If the bot restarted since the last re-post, it won't recognise a copy with the old text — delete that one by hand.
- Removing the entry stops the reposting — delete the last copy by hand.
Requirements: Send Messages, Manage Messages (to remove the previous copy) and Read Message History in the channel.
