1. Turn on AutoMod.
AutoMod lets you detect and block undesirable messages before they're posted.Go to Server Settings > AutoModCreate your own Custom Rules to detect raiders:
Enter keywords or phrases you think raiders may post in your server.Turn on the "Send alert" response to receive alerts into a dedicated private channel that allows you and your mods to identify potential raiders, and use the "Block message" response to have AutoMod prevent raiders' messages from being posted in your server when containing any of your keywords.Permutations with * work as well, but may catch harmless words.Customize your "Block Mention Spam" rule
Mention raids are when raiders join your server to annoy or expose your members to undesirable content by spamming mentions via @usernames or @roles. To minimize the likelihood of raiders pulling this off, turn on AutoMod's "Block Mention Spam" rule.Set a mention limit you think works best for your server, and enable
"Block message", "Send alert", and/or "Timeout member" responses. This way, members can't post messages containing an excessive number of unique mentions.2. Disable @here and @everyone permissions.Go to Server Settings > Roles > Select a non-Admin or non-Moderator role > Toggle off "Mention @everyone, @here, and All Roles." Double check with your category settings as they may overwrite.3. Set a Verification Level.Go to Server Settings > Safety Setup > Verification LevelTo prevent raids on your Discord server, you can set a Verification Level in the Server Settings. Verification Levels require users to verify their email address or phone number before sending messages, which can help prevent bots and spam accounts from joining your server. Its recommended to set the Verification Level to "Low" for basic security on public servers, but higher is safer.4. Set your Explicit Media Content Filter to Medium or HighGo to Server Settings > Safety Setup > Explicit Media Content FilterEnable this filter to automatically scan and block explicit media from being posted in your server. Community-enabled servers have the High Explicit Media Content filter on by default.5. Find and recruit moderators
