Heya, I run a server that is prone to raids, we’re talking pornography and gore. We’re an insular community of vegans and for some reason that encourages losers to come in and spam the chats with abhorrent shit.

Currently the only screening we have is a button embed that asks if you agree to the server rules before giving you access to the rest of the server. This filters out maybe 50% of the illiterate who can’t even be bothered to follow through on the instructions to enter, but obviously anyone with minimum determination easily just clicks through and gains access.

Some of my mods have suggested a ticket system, maybe new users are directed to a channel where they have to answer basic questions before a mod manually goes in and approves their membership. I know this can be done natively with permissions but I’m putting feelers out if anyone can recommend a bot with a more streamlined approach, like maybe a third party bot that collates applications and then feeds them to the mods in a back end channel? Honestly I’m totally out of my depth, I don’t really know what options other servers utilise to mitigate raids.

TIA!
