    That's a very good point, the idea is to allow the moderators to pick the best content through the help of a Discord bot.

I'm working also on a way to filter out meaningless content or at least help moderators in repurposing only the best content they have on Discord. The other way around seems also a very good idea, I'll think about it for sure
