How to protect your Discord server from raids
To protect a Discord server from raids, raise the verification level, use an antiraid bot that detects mass joins and filters new or avatarless accounts, add a honeypot channel, and keep a one-command lockdown ready - when a raid starts, lock down, remove everyone who joined in the raid window, then reopen.
What a raid looks like
Dozens or hundreds of accounts join within minutes and spam messages, mentions or images. They're usually freshly made, often with default avatars, and controlled by one person with a script.
Before a raid
- Server Settings > Safety Setup: set the verification level to at least Medium (account older than 5 minutes).
- Turn on antiraid mass-join detection:
?antiraid massjoin on --threshold 10. - Filter brand-new accounts:
?antiraid newaccounts on --days 3. - Add a honeypot channel:
?antiraid honeypot add #dont-type-here. - Turn on automod spam and mention rules, plus
?automod lockdown on.
During a raid
Lock every channel with ?antiraid lockdown, then remove the raiders with ?antiraid raid 15m ban (everyone who joined in the last 15 minutes). Purge the spam with ?purge, then end the raid state with ?antiraid state and unlock.
Questions
Do raiders get banned automatically?
With mass-join detection on, accounts that join during the flood are kicked or banned automatically and the raid state turns on.
Will antiraid kick real new members?
It can if your filters are strict. Use a short new-account limit, and let expected guests in with ?antiraid whitelist add.
