PROTATE

Moderation and verification for Jaxcord servers.

PROTATE checks new members with a code sent to their DMs, removes spam and rule-breaking messages as they come in, and gives your moderators warn, timeout, kick and purge.

To add it, open Discover, then Bots in Jaxcord, find PROTATE and add it to a server you manage. Setup is below.

This is the DM a new member gets. Try it, nothing is sent.

PROTATE

Verification

1

Press Verify in the server

A moderator posts the Verify card once with /verifysetup. Members who already have the role are told so and nothing else happens.

2

Get a code by DM

PROTATE sends a DM that names your server. Pressing its button shows a random six-character code.

3

Type the code back

A correct code gives them your verified role, removes the unverified one if you use it, and goes in your log.

Codes expire after 5 minutes, members get 3 tries, and there is a button for a fresh code. The role only matters if your channels use it, so make your main channels visible to Verified and leave one verify channel open to everyone.

AutoMod

Every message is checked for:

  • words on your banned list
  • server invite links
  • more than 5 mentions in one message
  • 12 or more letters that are mostly capitals (over 80%)
  • 5 messages in 6 seconds from one member

A message that breaks a rule is deleted. The member gets a warning and a DM explaining why, and it goes in your log. Your moderators are never checked.

3 warnings, then a 10 minute timeout.

It repeats at every third warning after that.

Commands

For moderators only.

CommandWhat it does
/setupSets the verified role, unverified role and log channel. Run it with nothing filled in to see what is set.
/verifysetupPosts the Verify card in the current channel.
/warn user, reasonAdds a warning and sends the member a DM.
/warnings userShows a member's last ten warnings. Only you see the reply.

/untimeout userEnds a timeout early.
/kick user, reasonRemoves a member after sending them the reason.
/purge countDeletes the last 1 to 100 messages in the channel.

Setting it up

  1. Add PROTATE to your server from Discover. You need the Manage Server permission.
  2. Give its role Kick Members, Manage Messages and timeout, and place that role above the roles it should moderate.
  3. Make a Verified role, and an Unverified role if you want one. Set your main channels to Verified only.
  4. Run /setup with the verified role's id and pick a log channel. Roles are entered by id for now.
  5. Run /verifysetup in the channel where people should verify.

What it does not do

No image captcha

The code is plain text. It stops raids and people who skip steps, but a script that reads DMs could copy it.

No ban command

Jaxcord's bot API has kick and timeout but no ban, so PROTATE only does what the API allows.
