Pinned messages
Four boards Arclo can keep permanently pinned and rebuild every fifteen minutes — the Levels, Achievements and Invite leaderboards, and the Analytics statistics card.
A leaderboard posted with a command is out of date the moment somebody talks. A pinned board is one message Arclo owns, pins, and rebuilds on a schedule — so #leaderboard is a channel with a live scoreboard in it rather than a graveyard of old ones.
The four
| Board | Where to switch it on |
|---|---|
| Levels leaderboard | Levels → Leaderboard tab |
| Achievements leaderboard | Achievements → Leaderboard tab |
| Invite leaderboard | Invite Tracking |
| Statistics card | Server Analytics → Pinned Stats tab |
How it behaves
- Rebuilt every fifteen minutes, from the feature's own builder — the pinned board and the command answer with the same numbers because they are the same code.
- Switching a pin on posts it within a minute; deleting the message puts it back within a minute.
- Switching the pin off deletes the message. A board frozen at last Tuesday is worse than no board.
- Switching the system off leaves the message alone, so a temporary disable does not destroy it.
- Moving the pin to another channel removes the old message first.
- Channel
- Where the board lives. A voice channel's text chat works.
- Sort
- Which ordering the board opens on.
- Lock the sort
- Off means the board keeps its live dropdown, so anybody can re-sort it in place. On pins one ordering.
Discord allows 50 pins per channel
If the channel is full, Arclo posts the board but cannot pin it — it warns once rather than complaining on every rebuild. Arclo also needs Manage Messages in that channel to pin at all.
Setting one up
Open the system's own page
There is no central Pinned page: a board belongs to the system that produces it, and its settings sit beside the rest of that system's.
Switch the pinned board on and pick a channel
A channel nobody talks in is the right home — the point is a message that stays where you left it.
Choose the sort, and whether to lock it
Unlocked keeps the board's live dropdown, so anybody can re-sort it in place. Locked pins one ordering.
Why one sweep rather than four
“Every fifteen minutes” is one promise made on four dashboard cards. Four separate timers would be four promises, and they would drift apart — so one sweep rebuilds all four boards, and the awkward parts (a channel that moved, a message somebody deleted, a pin that came unpinned) are handled once instead of four times.
Troubleshooting
The board posted but is not pinned.
Arclo needs Manage Messages in that channel, and the channel must have fewer than 50 pins.
It has not updated.
Boards rebuild every fifteen minutes, not on every change. If it has been longer, check Arclo can still see and edit in that channel.
I switched the pin off and the message disappeared.
That is deliberate — a frozen board is worse than none. Switching the system off instead leaves the message alone.
Can I have two boards in one channel?
Yes. They are four independent pins and nothing stops them sharing a channel.
Still stuck? Ask in the support server — somebody there has almost certainly configured this before.
