Headlines with a sense of humor
Fourteen rules look for what happened: a surge, a slump, a record, a voice party, night owls. The top three make the page, each from hand-written templates.
Discord server newspaper: a weekly Gazette about your community
Server Gazette posts a weekly newspaper in your server. Each issue has funny headlines, the top numbers of the week, new records, people of the week, hot channels and an optional front page image. It is built only from counters your other features already keep, so nothing new is tracked and no message is ever read. Headlines come from written templates in English, Russian and Hebrew, with no AI.

What you get
The week in numbers
Messages, active members, voice hours, joins and leaves for the last 7 days, plus the busiest day, giveaways that ended, quests completed and new boosts.
A record book
Weekly messages, joins, active members, voice minutes and the busiest day are checked against your best so far. A broken record makes the news.
People of the week
The top three chatters and the voice star get their moment. Anyone can stay out of the paper with /gazette optout, and those members are never named.
An optional front page
Add a front page image in a neon, sunset or aurora theme with your own masthead. If the image can’t be made, the issue still goes out without it.
Every section is yours
Turn headlines, numbers, records, people, channels and highlights on or off one by one, pick the day and hour, and ping a role if you want.
How it works
Turn on Server Gazette
Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and turn on Server Gazette in the Engagement section.
Set up the paper
Pick a channel, the weekday and hour, an optional masthead and role to ping, the image theme and the sections you want.
Check the preview
The Preview tab shows the issue and the front page. On a quiet server it uses clearly labelled sample numbers. Publish now posts a special edition.
Read it every week
The issue goes out in your slot, covering the 7 days before it. Members open the newest one with
/gazette latest, and old issues stay in the console Archive.
Numbers only, and members can stay out
The Gazette reads counters that Owner Digest, Wrapped and Server Insights already keep. It never reads message content, and it adds no new tracking. People of the week come from Insights, or from Levels without it. Names are never stored: saved issues hold totals only, and mentions in the post never ping anyone except the role you chose.
Members who run /gazette optout are never named, and neither are members who opted out of Wrapped or Insights. Their activity still counts in server totals. Opting out doesn’t edit issues that are already posted. If opt-outs can’t be read, the people section is left out of that issue.
A week with fewer than 10 messages and no joins is skipped, so a quiet server never posts an empty paper. A first issue only sets the baseline for records. The console Archive lists 8 weeks on Free and 52 on Pro; posting itself is free on every plan. Flows can react to a new issue or publish one.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a weekly newsletter for my Discord server?
Turn on Server Gazette in the BotGG console, pick a channel, a weekday and an hour. The bot writes and posts the issue every week from your server’s numbers.
Are the headlines written by AI?
No. Headlines come from written templates in English, Russian and Hebrew. Rules pick the ones that match your week, and the same week always reads the same.
Does the Gazette read our messages?
No. It only uses counters other BotGG features already keep, such as message totals per channel. Message content is never read.
Can a member stay out of the paper?
Yes. With /gazette optout a member is never named again, while their activity still counts in server totals. Issues already posted aren’t edited.
What happens in a quiet week?
A week with fewer than 10 messages and no joins is skipped, so nothing is posted.
How is this different from Wrapped and Owner Digest?
Owner Digest stays the private report for owners and Wrapped stays the monthly and yearly card. The Gazette is the public weekly post.
