⚡ Allow-Only Reaction Preload

Premium Update

September 1, 2026

ReactionBot Premium now includes Reaction Preload, a new AllowOnly companion feature that automatically adds approved reactions directly onto messages.
⚡ Premium servers can enable /preload in a channel to automatically add that channel’s current AllowOnly emojis to new messages.
📚 When enabling Preload, server admins can also choose to backfill up to 10 recent messages so existing conversations immediately show the approved reaction options.
🔄 Preload always uses the channel’s current AllowOnly list, so changes made to approved emojis automatically apply to future messages without creating a second reaction list.
👀 Members can now instantly see which reactions are allowed instead of discovering the rule only after an unsupported reaction is removed.
🛡️ Preload is currently designed for channel-based AllowOnly rules and can be enabled or disabled at any time with /preload.
💎 Reaction Preload is available to Premium servers as part of ReactionBot’s growing set of advanced reaction management tools.

🧩 Reaction Rules & Studio Improvements

Feature Update

August 20, 2026

ReactionBot has received a new round of reaction-rule and Studio improvements focused on faster moderation setup, better visibility, and easier server management.
🎨 Blocking a supported base emoji now automatically covers its skin-tone variants, so admins no longer need to block each tone individually.
🧾 /listblocked has been revamped to show Global Rules, Current Channel Rules, and Channel-Specific Rules from across the server in one place.
🌐 Server admins can now quickly see which channels have their own blocked emojis, allow-only rules, reaction limits, or are ignoring global rules without checking each channel manually.
🤖 ReactionBotAI has also been updated to understand the new server-wide rule layout and can now report reaction rules from other channels when asked what is blocked across the server.
🎭 ReactionBot Studio received major Roles improvements, including Role Panel management, editing, enable/disable controls, and persistent published panels.
🛡️ Verification Flows now support 1–5 verification steps, required roles, reward roles, role removal, optional logging, saved flow management, editing, and enable/disable controls.
🎨 Verification emoji matching now ignores skin-tone modifiers, allowing members to complete supported verification steps using different tone variants of the same emoji.
🎉 Events and Voting continue moving into the Discord-native Studio experience, making ReactionBot’s advanced tools easier to configure without relying on separate dashboard pages.
⚙️ These updates continue the transition toward a cleaner ReactionBot Studio workflow while keeping existing reaction moderation commands fully supported.

🛡️ Advanced Allow-Only Management

Premium Update

August 17, 2026

ReactionBot’s /allowonly command has been upgraded with new management options designed to make larger emoji allow-lists much easier to control.
➕ Premium servers can now add new emojis to an existing allow-only list without rebuilding the entire list.
➖ Premium servers can now remove individual emojis from an allow-only list while keeping the rest of the rule intact.
🔄 The new set option allows the entire allow-only list to be replaced at once, preserving the original /allowonly behavior when needed.
📚 Large emoji collections can now be built in smaller batches, making it much easier to manage servers with dozens of custom emojis.
🛡️ Existing /clearallowonly functionality remains unchanged and can still be used to completely remove an allow-only rule.
💎 Advanced add and remove controls are available to Premium servers, giving supporting communities more flexible rule management.

⚡ Faster Reaction Blocking

Core Update

August 9, 2026

ReactionBot’s emoji blocking system has been upgraded for significantly faster reaction enforcement across Discord servers.
⚡ Blocked emoji rules are now kept in a high-speed local cache, allowing ReactionBot to identify blocked reactions immediately without waiting on additional configuration checks.
🚫 Blocked reactions are now removed noticeably faster, greatly reducing the amount of time a prohibited reaction is visible on a message.
🌐 Both channel-specific and server-wide block rules benefit from the faster enforcement system.
💾 Block rules remain persistent across bot restarts, with ReactionBot automatically rebuilding its fast enforcement cache when it comes back online.
🖥️ Rules created or removed through the ReactionBot Dashboard are synchronized with the new fast blocking system in real time.
🔄 Discord commands and Dashboard controls remain fully synchronized, so /block, /unblock, and /listblocked continue to reflect the same active rules.

👁️ Premium User Watch

Premium Update

August 4, 2026

Premium User Watch gives server admins a focused way to monitor activity from specific members without flooding the main logger with unrelated events.
💬 Messages sent by watched members can now be copied into a dedicated User Watch channel, including the author, channel, message content, attachments, and a jump-to-message link.
✏️ Message edits and deletions can be tracked with before-and-after content, readable member details, and the original channel information.
🛡️ ReactionBot moderation events can also be monitored, including blocked emojis, Allow-only violations, reaction limits, and reactions removed by the bot.
⚙️ Each watched member has independent event toggles, allowing admins to choose exactly which activity should be logged.
⏱️ User watches can be permanent or automatically expire after a selected duration.

⚡ Faster /count Scanning

Command Update

August 4, 2026

The /count command has been significantly upgraded to scan reaction activity faster and more efficiently across Discord channels.
🚀 ReactionBot now uses Discord’s visible reaction totals instead of relying on slower individual reaction lookups.
📊 Count results now include total reactions, matched messages, average reactions per message, and the number of messages scanned.
🗓️ Admins can narrow scans using message limits and date ranges, making large searches faster and easier to control.
🔒 Duplicate scan protection prevents the same user from accidentally starting multiple count jobs at once.
✨ These improvements make /count much more practical for both small communities and high-activity servers.

🎛️ ReactionBot Studio

New Feature

August 4, 2026

ReactionBot Studio introduces an interactive popup control panel for creating and managing advanced server features directly inside Discord.
📅 Events can now be configured through a guided interface instead of requiring admins to enter every option manually.
📊 Polls and voting sessions can be created with a cleaner, easier-to-follow setup experience.
🎭 Role changes and related actions can be configured through the same interactive panel.
⚡ Studio reduces command memorization and makes advanced ReactionBot tools faster and more approachable for server admins.
✨ This is the beginning of a larger visual control system for managing ReactionBot directly from Discord.

🧠 ReactionBotAI Multi-Action Support

AI Update

July 30, 2026

ReactionBotAI can now understand and complete multiple tasks from a single message, making conversations and server management feel much more natural.
⚡ Multiple supported actions can now be performed at once, such as blocking several emojis from the same request.
💬 ReactionBotAI can now respond conversationally while also completing an action. For example, asking “How are you? Block 🤮” will receive a response while the emoji is blocked.
🛠️ Requests can now combine conversation, multiple tools, and multiple server actions instead of being limited to handling only one task at a time.
✨ This update makes ReactionBotAI faster, more flexible, and better at understanding how server admins naturally communicate.
