AlphaCloud v1.10.5: Applications, a Report Form and Price Increases Only With Your Consent
Apply to our team on the new portal, report illegal content without a login, and new options for Tickets, Absences, AFK Room and Server Stats. A higher Premium price now needs your agreement.
AlphaCloud v1.10.3: Member Reports, a Better Counting and AutoMod Inside Discord
Members can report messages to your team, Counting gets mistake rules and a leaderboard, and AutoMod now also runs as rules in Discord itself. Plus a much better AI Server Builder.
AlphaCloud v1.10.4: Anti-Nuke Now Also Guards Webhooks and Your Bots
Two gaps closed in Anti-Nuke: webhooks can be deleted the moment they appear, and only the server owner may kick or ban bots. Plus fixes for Automations, Logging, Starboard and Tickets.
AlphaCloud v1.10.2: Voice Roles, Ask Alfi and Our Own Docs in 21 Languages
The new Voice Roles module, an AI assistant for the setup in the panel, our docs on alphacloud.bot/docs in 21 languages and Premium as prepaid or right in Discord. Plus a long list of fixes.

Give a Discord Role Automatically in a Voice Channel: What It Is Good For and What to Watch Out For

AlphaCloud v1.10.1: Utility, Timed Role Links and Private Ticket Threads
One day after v1.10.0, five more ideas from the ideas board: the new Utility module, Role Links for a limited time and with several triggers, tickets as private threads and AFK logs right in the voice channel.
AlphaCloud v1.10.0: A New Design, Two New Modules and Four of Your Ideas
The website, the panel and all our other sites in a new design with a light and a dark theme, Alfi as our mascot, Role Links, Auto Slowmode, tickets as forum posts and an AFK Room that counts chat activity.
Web v2: A New Website, a New Panel and a Small Mascot
We rebuilt everything you see of AlphaCloud in the browser: the website, the panel, Bugs, Ideas, Appeals and Transcripts. With a light and a dark mode, tidier module pages and much shorter loading times.
