Autoban
Off by defaultAutoban removes accounts the moment they join when they match your rules: brand-new accounts, usernames that match a pattern, invite links in names or accounts with no avatar.

- Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.
- Find Autoban in the module list (press / to filter it, or ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.
- Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
- Changes apply in your server within a few seconds of saving.
Tips
- Pair an account-age rule with a kick instead of a ban while you tune it.
- Join guard rules combine filters like generated-looking names, server tags and unverified bots; every filter in a rule must match, and the first matching rule acts.
- Start a join guard rule with a quarantine role and a log line, and add a kick once it only catches what you expect.
