# Blacklisting starboard

If you want a specific channel to be blacklisted from starboard, i.e No messages with star reactions in that channel should be tracked, then Sly also allows you to blacklist a channel.

### Adding channel to blacklist

You can add a channel to blacklist by using command:

```
sly blacklist-stars #channel
```

This will add that channel to starboard blacklist and Sly will ignore any stars in that channel.

### Removing channel from blacklist

To remove a channel from blacklist, Simply run the command:

```
sly unblacklist-stars #channel
```

This will remove a previously starboard blacklisted channel and all stars will be tracked in it.

{% hint style="info" %}
Above commands require `MANAGE_CHANNELS` permissions
{% endhint %}

### Viewing blacklist channels

You can view the channels list that are blacklisted from starboard by using command:

```
sly show-stars-blacklist
```

That will bring an interactive menu to view all the channels that are blacklisted.
