Honeypot

A trap channel that removes anyone who writes in it.

On this page

In the panel under: Moderation, Honeypot

You create a channel where nobody has any business being, and make it stand out. Whoever writes there is very likely a spam bot, because a real member reads the channel name first. The bot kicks or bans automatically.

Setup

  1. Create a trap channel

    A text channel with a name that lures bots and warns humans, for example nicht-hier-schreiben or free-nitro.

  2. Warn clearly

    Add a pinned message or a channel description that clearly says: whoever writes here gets removed.

  3. Enable the module and choose the channel

  4. Set the action and log channel

Settings

The warning in the channel

The bot itself posts a warning embed in the honeypot channel. It makes people aware that writing here has consequences. You can design it in the Message Builder.

The DM

Whoever triggered it gets a DM, which you can design under DM when the honeypot triggers. The reason sits in a locked block.

Required permissions

Kick Members or Ban Members, Manage Messages, Send Messages and Embed Links.
