Question of the day
One question a day, and the reserve fills itself.
What it does
A question of the day works for about a fortnight — as long as somebody is willing to invent one every morning. Then the channel goes quiet, and stays quiet.
This module asks the question for you at a fixed hour, and lets your members stock the reserve. What they propose waits for approval, so what the whole server reads at ten in the morning is still what you chose.
What you can do
- One question a day, at the hour you set, in the server's timezone
- Members propose their own, up to a quota you hold
- Approval before anything is asked in public
- A thread opened under each question, so the answers stay together
- A role pinged if you want one — or nobody at all
- Duplicates refused, whatever the capitalisation
How to set it up
3 steps · about 3 minutes
-
1
Choose the channel and the hour
The bot uses the server's timezone and asks once a day, never twice — even if it restarts in between.
-
2
Stock the reserve
Put a dozen in to begin with. An empty reserve asks nothing, and a channel that skipped a morning loses its readers faster than one that never started.
-
3
Open it to your members
Set how many questions one person may have waiting. Three is enough to feel invited, and not enough to fill the reserve alone.

Frequently asked questions
What happens when the reserve runs out?
Nothing is asked, and nothing breaks. The next question goes out the day somebody adds one.
Can I turn approval off?
You can, but think about it first. A question of the day is read by the whole server at once, and it carries your name rather than its author's.
Do questions come back around?
No. Once asked, a question is marked as used and never drawn again — which is also why the page hides them, rather than showing you a year of rows you can do nothing with.
