🛡️ Link Protect

Keep your server clean, safe, and on-topic. Link Protect detects and removes unwanted or dangerous links in real time — its Scam Shield stops hijacked accounts before they can flood your channels, the Verification Gate keeps scam bots from ever getting in, and the Emergency Lockdown freezes a raid with one command. Backed by a full web dashboard and a native iOS app, so you can manage everything from anywhere.

⚡ Set Up in 30 Seconds

Run /setup-preset and pick a protection level — Minimal, Balanced or Strict. One command configures every security shield to a sensible level. Fine-tune everything later on the dashboard, where a Security Score (0–100) shows exactly how locked-down your server is and what to improve.

Link & Content Filtering — 16 Shields

Real-time detection and instant deletion of:

• Phishing & malware links (live threat database + Google Safe Browsing)
• Fake Discord Nitro scams and look-alike domains (homoglyph detection)
• Discord server invites
• NSFW / adult sites
• URL shorteners (bit.ly, tinyurl and similar) — redirects are followed, so shorteners can't hide their real target
• YouTube, Twitch, Google, Steam and GIF links
• Any domain you add to your custom blacklist
• Or block every link at once with a single toggle

🛡️ Scam Shield

You've seen it: a hijacked account pastes the same crypto giveaway or fake Nitro scam into every single channel within seconds. Scam Shield ends that.

• Cross-channel spam detection — the same message (link, image or wall of text) hitting several channels in seconds triggers instantly: every copy is deleted and the account is timed out, kicked or banned. Your choice.
• Network intelligence — accounts caught scam-spamming anywhere in the Link Protect network are flagged. Enable the join check and known scam accounts are removed the moment they join your server, before they can post a single message.
• Fair by design — flags come only from live behaviour, never from keywords or reports. Affected users are told why and can appeal at link-protect.com, where a human reviews every case.

✅ Verification Gate — NEW

Stop scam bots at the door. New members verify on your own verification page (link-protect.com/verify/your-server) with one Discord click — a hurdle bots can't take.

• One-click auto-setup — creates the quarantine role, hides every channel from unverified members and adds a #verify info channel. Zero manual work.
• Your page, your brand — custom headline, message, accent color and even your own background image.
• Minimum account age — block freshly created throwaway accounts.

🚨 Emergency Lockdown — NEW

Raid in progress? /lockdown freezes the whole server in seconds: slowmode on every channel, invites paused, every link blocked. /unlock restores everything exactly as it was. Also one click away in the dashboard and the iOS app — even straight from a push notification.

Smart Moderation

• Configurable warnings with automatic kick, ban, or timeout thresholds
• Warning decay — old warnings expire on their own, so a single past mistake doesn't count forever
• Silent mode — delete links quietly and notify the user by DM, with no public callout
• Review, edit and reset any member's warnings at any time

Fine-Grained Control

• Exempt specific users, roles, channels or entire categories
• Per-channel rules — give individual channels their own behaviour
• Custom blacklist & whitelist for full control over what's allowed

Logging & Insights

• A dedicated log channel for every warning, kick and ban — and you choose exactly which events appear in it
• A live activity feed plus statistics & trend charts with Scam Shield and raid markers
• A public changelog at link-protect.com/update — see exactly what's new

Manage From Anywhere

• Web dashboard at link-protect.com — modern, intuitive, no commands required
• iOS app for iPhone, iPad & Apple Watch — full control on the go, with home & lock-screen widgets and push notifications the moment something happens. Ban a caught scammer straight from the notification.
• Team Access — delegate dashboard control to specific people without giving them Discord admin
• Developer platform — read-only REST API, signed webhooks for moderation events, and live SVG embeds (protection badge, stats card) for your website

Getting Started

1. Invite Link Protect and let it manage messages in the channels you want protected
2. Run /setup-preset — or open the dashboard / iOS app to fine-tune everything
3. Optionally pick a log channel and enable the Verification Gate

Permissions: Link Protect needs Manage Messages to delete links, plus Kick/Ban Members for automatic sanctions and Scam Shield. The Verification Gate and Lockdown additionally use Manage Roles, Manage Channels and Manage Server — the dashboard shows you a live permission check. Unsure? Try it on a test server first — this bot is built to protect, never to disrupt your server.
