Anti-spam

anyone up for a game tonight?

RaidProtect's Anti-spam is a powerful tool to prevent spam on your Discord server. Thanks to its automatic detection system, it handles problems on its own, without requiring your intervention.

❓ How anti-spam works

RaidProtect's anti-spam automatically detects and blocks suspicious behavior. It distinguishes between two types of spam.

• Heavy spam: Messages containing invite links, mass mentions, or images. This kind of spam is often used during raids.
• Light spam: Messages sent frequently but less intrusive.

RaidProtect's anti-spam acts in two ways.

• Sanctions: Automatic kick or ban of spammers.
• Notifications: Messages sent to the logs channel to report blocked spam, with a preview of the detected actions.

🛡️ Anti-spam configuration

RaidProtect offers three security levels to meet your server's needs.

• 🔴 High: Sanctions all spam, and even heavy spam in ignored channels.
• 🟠 Medium: Sanctions all spam, but respects ignored channels.
• 🟢 Low: Sanctions only heavy spam.

Anti-spam configuration

Set up anti-spam to protect your Discord server from malicious user actions.

🔴 High: Sanctions all spam, including in ignored channels.
🟡 Medium: Sanctions spam, but respects ignored channels.
🟢 Low: Only targets link, mention and selfbot spam.

Change the security level

1. Run the /settings command.
2. Click the "Anti-spam" button.
3. Select the desired anti-spam level in the first selector.

Manage ignored roles, users, and channels

You can exclude certain channels, roles, or even users from anti-spam monitoring for more flexibility. 😉

1. Run the /settings command.
2. Click the "Anti-spam" button.
3. Select the different options to ignore in the various selectors:

• Channel(s) to ignore
• Role(s) to ignore
• Member(s) to ignore

info

Channels containing "spam" in their name are automatically ignored. Users with the administrator permission are completely ignored.

Configure sanctions by trigger

You can customize the sanctions applied based on the type of spam detected. This allows a response adapted to the severity of the offense.

1. Run the /settings command.
2. Click the "Anti-spam" button.
3. Go to the "Sanctions" tab.
4. For each trigger, select a specific sanction. You can modify these values using the dropdown menus:

• Select a trigger: choose the type of spam to configure.
• Select a sanction: choose the corresponding sanction.

Sanction types and triggers

Here are the different available sanctions:

• Warn: Sends a warning to the member.
• Timeout: Mutes the member for a defined duration.
• Mute: Assigns the Mute role configured on your server.
• Jail: Assigns the Jail role configured on your server.
• Kick: Kicks the member from the server.
• Softban: Bans then immediately unbans the member, thereby deleting their messages.
• Ban: Permanently bans the member.
• Disable: Turns the trigger off completely, no sanction will be applied.

note

For the "Duplicate spam or heavy spam" and "Multi-channel spam" triggers, the mildest selectable sanction is Timeout (no Warn): this is serious spam that warrants a firm response.

And here are the triggers that RaidProtect can detect, with the sanction applied by default:

Trigger	Description	Default sanction
Spam	Repeated message sending	Warn
Selfbot spam	Using selfbots to spam	Softban
Mention spam	Repeated mass mentions	Softban
Link spam	Mass link sending	Ban
External command spam	Using external commands to spam	Ban
Attachment spam	Mass sending of files or images	Disabled
Duplicate spam or heavy spam	Copy-pasted messages or excessive spam	Softban
Scam images (Crypto Scam)	Scam images detected by ScamLens	Timeout
Multi-channel spam	Spam spread across several channels	Jail

info

The Multi-channel spam trigger is special: its sanction replaces the one from the original trigger when the spam hits several channels, but only if it is more severe.

Anti-spam configuration

You can customize the sanctions applied depending on the type of spam detected. This allows for a response adapted to the severity of the violation.

Sanctions:

Spam : Warn
Spam with selfbot : Softban
Spam of mentions : Softban
Spam of links : Ban
Spam de commandes externes : Ban
Spam de fichiers : Disabled
Spam de duplicatas OU Spam importants : Softban
Scam images (Crypto Scam) : Timeout

Multi-channel spam

Jail
Replaces the trigger's sanction when spam spans several channels, only if it is more severe.

Sanctions duration

1 hour

Public sanction message

Enabled

Posts a message in the channel to announce the sanction (e.g. 'member has been muted'). Can be disabled with premium.

RaidProtect v3.4.0 • Configuration > Anti-spam > Sanctions

Select a trigger

Select a sanction

1 hour

Premium: discreet moderation

By default, every anti-spam sanction is announced by a public message in the channel. Premium servers can hide this message for more discreet moderation.

Sanctions duration

When the sanctions applied by the anti-spam support a duration (mute, timeout, jail), you can set a single duration applied to all of these sanctions (1 hour by default).

1. Run the /settings command.
2. Click the "Anti-spam" button.
3. Go to the "Sanctions" tab.
4. Pick a predefined duration in the "Sanctions duration" selector, or click "Custom duration" to enter the value of your choice (e.g. 30m, 2h, 7d).

info

The duration is ignored for sanctions that do not support one (kick, softban, ban, warn).
