Server Anti-Raid, developed by ACPlayGames! Small moderation bot made for fun.

NOTE: This is not recommended for beginners. Please learn the basics of Python before attempting to use this code!

This is a basic moderation bot that you can add on to to suit your own needs. Feel free to contribute anything you want here. The best way to prevent raids is to enable two-factor authentication on your account and guild, adding a stricter verification level, enabling explicit content filter, and to give out administrative permissions with caution.

A tutorial and explanation regarding how to use the bot is on my YouTube!

Installation

To get started, a few things must be installed.

1. Download Python. Please make sure to check the "Add Python to PATH" option!

2. We will be installing discord.py for this project. Open Command Prompt on your computer and type in pip install discord.

3. Clone the GitHub repository (either using the web URL, GitHub Desktop, or downloading the zipped file).

Creating and Inviting the Bot

1. To create a bot, go to the Discord Developer Portal and press New Application.

2. Name your application whatever you want, then hit Create. You can also set an optional description here.

3. On the left side, press the Bot tab, then press Add Bot, then Yes, do it!. This will transform your application into a bot.

4. Scroll down, and under Privileged Gateway Intents, check the Server Members Intents option.

5. Once your bot has appeared, copy your bot token by pressing Copy. You will use this later. This is how your program will login to your bot. It is very important to keep this token safe, as it is your bot account credentials!

6. Now, go to the left side and go to the OAuth2 tab. Under the Scopes options, check bot. A section titled Bot Permissions will appear below. You will select your bot permissions here. We will using the Administrator permission, so please check that option. Now, under Scopes, you will see a link which you can invite your bot with. Copy this link and open it to invite your bot.

With those steps done, you are almost ready to go! However, please note that in main.py, the second to last line is shown below.

bot.run('TOKEN HERE')

Please replace the TOKEN HERE text with your bot token from earlier, as shown below.

bot.run('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890')
