A starboard is the cheapest engagement mechanic there is: it requires no member action beyond
a reaction they were going to leave anyway, and it surfaces the server’s own best content
without a moderator curating it.

The threshold is the only real setting. Too low and it becomes a second general channel; too
high and it never fires.
