Verification

Kovu extraOff by default

New members pass a quick check on the web or in Discord before they get the server.

Set it up

  1. Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.

  2. Find Verification in the sidebar (or press ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.

  3. Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.

  4. Try it in Discord: /verify. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.
