The five-point checklist
Work through these in order; each layer catches what the previous one misses.
Verify members — captcha + minimum account age + bot detection Block raids — join-rate limits with auto-timeout or lockdown Contain nukes — anti-nuke thresholds + a tight permission model Log everything — central logging for member, role, channel and security events Keep backups — snapshots + a deletion-log recovery window
Permission hygiene is half the battle
Most nukes come from an account with too much power. Audit who holds Administrator and channel/role-management permissions, remove what isn’t needed, and whitelist only the accounts that truly require bulk actions.
Set it up once
You can assemble this from several bots, or run it as one system. Azra covers verification, raid protection, anti-nuke, bot detection, logging and recovery from a single dashboard, so the whole checklist is a few toggles. See the security overview.
Frequently asked questions
Follow a layered checklist: verify new members with captcha and an account-age gate, block raids with join-rate limits, contain nukes with anti-nuke thresholds and tight permissions, log events, and keep backups for recovery.
Verification (captcha + account age), raid protection, anti-nuke thresholds, permission hygiene, central logging and backups. Together they stop bots, raids and takeovers and let you recover if something slips through.
