Sablinova Bot Starter Guide

This blog is unfinished. More commands are being written, so make sure to bookmark or save this blog for future updates.

Introduction

The Sablinova bot is a powerful open-source Discord bot based on Red-Discord Bot GitHub. In this starter guide, I’ll explain some useful, fun, and unique commands that I haven’t seen in other Discord bots or servers.

Honeypot Command

The honeypot command is a defensive tool to catch selfbots and scammers

It creates a channel at the top of your server to attract selfbots/scammers and it can notify, mute, kick, or ban them immediately.

How to Set Up

1. Create the honeypot channel

-sethoneypot createchannel

1. Enable the cog

-sethoneypot enabled true

1. Set the action
   Choose what happens when someone messages in the honeypot channel: none, mute, kick, or ban. If you’re starting out, use none or mute.

Example for muting:

-sethoneypot action mute
-sethoneypot muterole {role}

I use this to replace the user’s role with Unverified, so they must verify again. If you do this, make sure another bot can remove the Verified role automatically.

If you prefer something simpler, you can kick the user instead:

-sethoneypot action kick

1. Set up logs channel
   This is crucial for the bot to work correctly:

-sethoneypot logschannel {#channelname}

That’s it! Your honeypot command is ready to catch selfbots & scammers.

Starboard

What Is a Starboard?

A Starboard is like a community-powered highlight reel. When someone reacts to a message with ⭐ (or any emoji you choose) and it reaches a set threshold, the bot reposts it in a dedicated channel.

It’s perfect for:

• Funny moments
• Server lore
• Anything your server wants

How to Set It Up

1. Create the Starboard

-starboard create <name> [channel] [emoji=⭐]

Example:

-starboard create bigbudsb #starboard ⭐

2. Set the Posting Threshold

-starboard threshold highlights 3

This requires 3 ⭐ reactions to feature the message.

3. Customize Behavior (Optional)

• Allow specific channels or roles

-starboard allowlist add bigbudsb #general

• Block channels or roles

-starboard blocklist add bigbudsb #spam

• Let users star their own messages

-starboard selfstar bigbudsb

• Auto-add emoji when someone stars a message

Note: The autostar command increases engagement and helps others react as well, especially if you added this feature recently on your server.

-starboard autostar bigbudsb

4. Change the Emoji

Example:

-starboard emoji bigbudsb 💀

5. View Info or Remove It

• Check setup

-starboard info

• Remove it

-starboard remove bigbudsb
