Community Safe Plugin
This is our flagship plugin, we have a list of currently used Discord server invites URLs and keyword/phrases that are used to scam your community members, this plugin searches new and edited messages for these URLs and keywords/phrases and if found they then ban the member that post’s them, there userID is then saved to our list of known userID’s that are known for scamming and if that user tries to join a discord community using our app then they are rejected and banned from that community ensuring that they have not been granted access to your community to perform their malicious actions.
Security Message
When a new member join’s you’re community a message is automatically sent to the new member advising on how to prevent been scammed whilst using discord, this message is designed to educate individuals using discord, on the dangers and the methods malicious users are using the platform to scam, phish and deliver malware and gives general advise to make themselves and there discord account more secure.
Custom Scam Plugin
Not all URL’s are bad, take for instance discord invite scam’s use the same URL for legitimate communities as well as the scamming communities this means that you might not want to ban all discord server invites for your community.
Another example would be, a reddit post may miss-lead members into signing up or registering to an external site that is used by scammers, you may want to block the URL to the post with a given keyword or phrase.
With this plugin you set the URL that you want to ban and add a keyword or phrase, the plugin will look for that URL and when found it will look for a custom Keyword that you have set, if found the message will be deleted and a message posted to the automod channel with action taken and the userID of the message creator.
To add a URL and or keyword:
/customscam add <URL> and or <keyword>
The plugin works by finding a URL in a new message and then looking through the list of keywords.
Command options: /customscan <add>/<delete>/<list>
Auto Responder
Auto responders allow you to cut down on the amount of time your answering repeated question, they also allow you to give information to your community when they type a keyword.
Example:
A member wants help with a software that you provide and they get “monitor failed” error message indicating there is a NAT issue.
member: Why does is say monitor failed?
Bot: The status monitor failed indicates that there is a NAT issue, a possible solution would be to manually port forward or set the UPNP setting’s in the setting tab.
The auto responder looks for a sentence with a question mark at the end and then matches a keyword or phrase that you have answered.
To set this up you would add a auto responder.
/autoresponder add <question> <answer>
Command options: /autoresponder add/delete/list
