Honeypot (anti-bot trap)

Honeypot (anti-bot trap)

A honeypot is a trap channel. A normal member has no reason to post there, but a scam bot that spams every channel on join does. Anyone who posts there (except staff and whitelisted roles) is banned automatically.

Quick start

  • !honeypot create makes a pre-configured trap channel and enables it.
  • !honeypot staff add @StaffRole marks your staff as immune.
  • !honeypot whitelist add @Role whitelists any other role that should be safe.

All commands

  • !honeypot create [name] create the trap channel
  • !honeypot set #channel / !honeypot unset use an existing channel
  • !honeypot enable / !honeypot disable
  • !honeypot whitelist add|remove|list @role
  • !honeypot staff add|remove|list @role
  • !honeypot reason <text> custom ban reason
  • !honeypot status
  • !honeypot history recent honeypot bans

Safety

Immune: staff roles, whitelist roles, anyone with Administrator or Manage Server, the server owner, and bots. The bot always respects Discord role hierarchy: if it cannot ban someone it warns staff instead of failing silently. Every ban posts an embed with Undo ban and Whitelist buttons (Manage Server only), so a mistake is one click to reverse.
