Moderation Issues & Suggestions

Meow

Hello!

Discord has a huge scammer/bot/hate raid problem.

So I manage a few discord servers where we have verification bots set up to prevent users from viewing the rest of the server and the member list, and this works fine for the most part.

However, users with more advanced knowledge can abuse the API, to bypass verification bots and access the member list without verifying. This is quite frustrating when hundreds of scammers/spam bots join at the same time, or at weird hours when no one is online to deal with it.

Is there any plans to fix this?

If no, or if its not possible. Could we maybe have the following moderator tools added.
1. Server option to prevent users without any role/specific from sending DM's, or to prevent users below a certain account age from sending DM's.(This could be a setting like 1day/1week/1month)
2. Server join limit during time period. e.g Only 5 accounts can join per 2 minutes
3. Prevent users from having the same username.
4. Blacklist certain words, any user who joins with a name containing blacklisted word is automatically kicked/banned.
5. Autokick users who do not have any roles after a period of time. E.g if they fail to verify, and obtain the "verified" role within <time period>, they are automatically kicked.

Implementing any or all of these ideas would really help with moderation!

Thanks for reading!

    Hello Meow,

    You should take a look at Sledgehammer, it works flawlessly.

    Here's an invite link to the company behind it (so you can test it yourself). You're welcome to try and "break" it with a bot (if you succeed, we'll try harder ;) but so far the success rate in blocking bot users has been 100%).

    Kind regards.

     

    PS:

    1. Already exists, although it can't be personalised. Look at Server Settings > Moderation > Verification (High). Users need to be part of the servers for at least 10 minutes before they can interact with anything (including sending DM's to people). Medium Verification requires that their account age is at least 5 minutes old.
    2. Not possible, and honestly wouldn't make much sense. However the Beemo.XYZ bot has raid detection mechanisms that work quite well (especially if the spam bots join very quickly).
    3. They're not **really** the same username though. If you use "text-compare" (.com I think) you'll notice the ASCII codes are different. Discord could ban non-Latin letters, but that would be bad for all the Chinese, Arabic, Russian, etc. communities.
    4. Possible with auto-moderation bots such as JARVIS.
    5. Sledgehammer does this, it's called auto-pruning.

    Hello! 

    Thanks for Suggesting Sledgehammer, I will definitely look into it. 

    1. Yeah, I know this exists, but it doesn't work. The API can be abused to bypass it. I'd like the option to completely disable the option for users without a certain role to send DM's. (and hopefully discord fixes the issues with the API)
    2. It would make sense when 500+ accounts join the server within 60 seconds, and start mass sending dm's to users/or spamming channels. Having a limit, or queue system would give moderators a chance to respond and ready to ban users who join. Especially on smaller servers. (This feature would be optional of course, with custom settings)
    3. I meant to prevent users from impersonating a moderator or admin. They can copy the profile picture, and the name, the only difference is the #0000 number, and more often than not, some users who are new to discord can easily be fooled by this. 
    4. I have used bots like Jarvis, dyno etc, and it works. But its not perfect. I'd like to be able to easily add a filter to the list e.g /blacklist <racistusername> when 100+ people called <racistusername> are joining, in conjunction with my idea for 2#/ 
    5. Thank you for the suggestion, I will try this out.

    Make sure you join the support server for Sledgehammer :) that way you can also "Follow" the announcement channels for alerts of downtime and stuff like that.

    1. I see.
    2. That's where Beemo works quite well :) either way, if you set up a verification process (like Sledgehammer's) properly (only one visible channel, and once verified, you lose view access to that channel), then you should be all good (no mass DM's).
    3. I understood what you meant :) I've been impersonated several times already, even copying the same #0000 number (using a different "a" that looks exactly the same, for example).
    4. You can do /nameban with Sledgehammer, and Jarvis works perfectly IMHO, I use it all the time across hundreds of servers (I have a big client list), I have a pre-set list of common scammy names like "Moderator" "Admin" "Support" "desk", etc.
    5. Great :)
