Verification
Gate new members behind a Verify button, an optional captcha or custom questions, and risk scoring — before granting a Verified role and (optionally) removing an Unverified one.
Overview
When enabled, joining members are held behind an Unverified role (if configured) until they click Verify on a posted panel and pass whatever checks you've turned on. Members who verified before and left/rejoined are recognized automatically and skip straight back to verified — no repeat challenge.
Setup (dashboard walks you through 6 steps)
1 — Essentials
Verify Channel, Verified Role, and an optional Unverified Role to hold members in until they pass.
2 — The Verify Panel
A posted embed (or plain message) with a single green Verify button. Customize its title, color, footer, and message text, then post/re-post it with one click.
3 — Simple Gates
Minimum account age in days (0 = off), a toggle to block default-avatar accounts outright, and a Max Attempts limit (default 3) before an auto-kick.
4 — Human Challenge
Optional Captcha — Math (e.g. "Solve: 7 + 3 = ?"), Word Scramble, or a random character string to retype — shown in a modal when Verify is clicked. Optional Custom Questions (up to 3) with a list of accepted answers, matched case-insensitively.
5 — Advanced Screening
Suspicion Scoring (off by default) computes a 0–100+ risk score from account age, missing avatar, missing Discord badges, bot-like usernames, and join clustering (similar avatar/username to other recent joins — a raid signal). Two thresholds act on the score: send to queue (default 25) and auto-kick (default 60).
An Approval Queue can require a moderator to manually Approve, Deny (kick), or Ban a verification attempt instead of auto-granting the role — always used when scoring is off, or only for scores above the queue threshold when scoring is on.
6 — Extras
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Rejoin Memory | On | Previously-verified members skip the challenge entirely on rejoin |
| Auto-DM on Join | Off | Sends a DM with instructions, supports {user} {server} {channel} |
| Verification Expiry | 60 days | Strips the Verified role from members inactive that long, re-adds Unverified if set |
| Alt Detection Hints | Off | Informational-only note when a join looks like a possible alt of a recent member — never auto-acts |
Flow Summary
- Member joins → hard gates checked (account age, default avatar) → suspicion score computed if enabled
- Unverified role applied, panel already posted in the verify channel
- Member clicks Verify → captcha/questions modal shown if either is enabled
- Wrong answers count against Max Attempts; hitting the limit auto-kicks
- Passing routes to the Approval Queue if configured, otherwise grants the Verified role immediately and removes Unverified
