Verification & Recovery
Hold risky new accounts for review, and put a server back together after a raid.
Overview
Most anti-raid tooling stops at prevention. These two features cover the other half: screening accounts at the door, and putting the server back together when something got through.
Verification is free. Website verification, duplicate-account detection and VPN handling are premium; raid recovery is premium.
The verification gate
Verification is off until you turn it on, and it never removes anyone unless you explicitly set a time limit — turning it on cannot start kicking your members.
Pick how people verify with ,verification method, then post the button with ,verification panel. Every setting on this page is also on the /configure panel under Security → Verification.
| Method | What a new member does |
|---|---|
quarantine | Nothing — risky joins are held for a moderator (the original behaviour) |
button | Presses a button |
captcha | Reads a distorted image and types the characters |
question | Answers a question you set |
web | Finishes a Cloudflare challenge on greed's website (premium) |

Let greed build the role for you
,verification setup is the one-command version. greed creates a quarantine role, moves it just below its own, removes its access to every existing channel, and turns the gate on — so you never have to build the role by hand.
,verification setup #mod-log 75
It reports how many channels it locked down, and names any it could not reach so you can fix those permissions yourself. Run it again at any time to re-apply the lockdown — it reuses the existing quarantine role rather than making a second one.
The role only quarantines because of those channel permissions. If you point the gate at a role you made yourself with ,verification @Role, greed uses it exactly as-is — a plain role with no denied permissions will be handed out and change nothing. Use setup unless you have already locked your own role down.
Channels created after setup are covered automatically — greed locks each new channel to the gate role as it is made, the same way it does for the jail and mute roles. Your verification channel is always left open so members can still reach the button.
The score weighs how new the account is (the heaviest signal), whether it has an avatar, whether the name looks auto-generated, and whether the name trips your own filter keywords. Every point comes with a reason, so the review card explains itself.
The default threshold is 60. A merely new account does not reach it; an account created today with no avatar and a generated-looking name does.
This is a heuristic, not a verdict. It is deliberately set up to quarantine and ask rather than to ban — expect it to occasionally hold a real person, and give your moderators the review channel so they can wave them through.
The scoring above applies to the quarantine method. With any other method every new member is gated and clears themselves, so the score is not used to decide who is challenged.
The other settings
All of these live on the /configure panel under Security → Verification.
The review card carries Approve, which removes the quarantine role, and Remove, which kicks. Both need Manage Server.
Automatic backups
Every server with premium gets a backup every three days, keeping the three most recent. They cost nothing to set up and do not count against the five backups a member can store themselves.
The point is that a raided server always has something to restore, even if nobody ever thought to run ,backup create.
Raid recovery
,recover lists your restore points — automatic and manual — and rebuilds from one.

,recover (id)
Recovery is merge-only. It recreates channels and roles that are missing and never deletes, renames, or overwrites anything that survived — so running it on a server that was only partly hit is safe. For a full reset-and-restore, use ,backup restore with destructive mode.
Recovery restores structure — channels and roles — and deliberately leaves settings and emojis alone, so it cannot roll your configuration backwards while you are trying to fix a raid.
