Sécuriser un serveur Discord : la checklist complète
Dix points classés du plus rentable au plus technique. Une heure de travail qui évite la plupart des catastrophes — et qui renvoie vers les guides détaillés pour chaque point.
Security and protection
Stopping raids, nukes, scams and booby-trapped files.
Anti-raid
Protecting your server from raids
Recognising a raid as it starts, reacting within the minute, and setting the bot up to do it for you.
Read the guide →Anti-nuke
Anti-nuke: protecting your server
When the threat comes from inside: limiting what a compromised account can destroy, and being able to undo it.
Read the guide →Scams
Discord scams
Fake Nitro, bogus giveaways, booby-trapped QR codes: how they work, and what stops them.
Read the guide →Files
Malicious files on Discord
Token grabbers and fake game betas: recognising a booby-trapped file before it spreads.
Read the guide →Moderation
Sanctioning without spending your day on it, and keeping a record of everything.
Auto-moderation
Auto-moderation
Spam, insults and stray ads: tuning the filter without turning the server into a minefield.
Read the guide →Penalties
Warnings and penalties
Thresholds that fire on their own, a memory that expires, and a record that keeps two moderators from ruling differently.
Read the guide →Support
Support tickets
A panel, topics, a named owner and a transcript — so support no longer depends on private messages.
Read the guide →Logs
Logging
Which events to log, in which channels, and why Discord's audit log is never enough on its own.
Read the guide →Voice
Voice recording
A mandatory public announcement, an individual refusal that is respected, a file kept as long as needed — and not a minute longer.
Read the guide →Assistant
Ticket assistant
The bot answers the questions that keep coming back, and calls the team when it doesn't know — provided it knows when to go quiet.
Read the guide →Bringing your community to life
Giving people reasons to come back: levels, economy, games, events.
Levels
XP and levels
Setting text and voice XP, adding tier roles, and avoiding the three settings that turn the leaderboard into a spam contest.
Read the guide →Economy
Server economy
Why most server economies die within a month, and how to build one where money keeps its value.
Read the guide →Contests
Giveaways and contests
Automatic draw, entry conditions, redraw — and how to stop the contest from mainly attracting throwaway accounts.
Read the guide →Games
Mini-games
Which games to keep, which ones get old, and why a solo AI that loses on purpose does the server no favours.
Read the guide →Birthdays
Birthdays
A daily announcement that lands at the right hour, without asking for a full date of birth.
Read the guide →Activity
Day-to-day activity
Question of the day, counting, a best-of board: the mechanisms that restart the conversation without tying up the team.
Read the guide →Participation
Suggestions and polls
A suggestions channel that does not become a graveyard, and polls whose result commits you without trapping the team.
Read the guide →Anonymity
Anonymous confessions
An anonymous channel goes wrong within a week if it is not framed. Here are the three mechanisms that prevent it.
Read the guide →Voice
Temporary voice channels
A generator channel, rooms created on demand and deleted when they empty — and a panel the creator drives alone.
Read the guide →Music
Music bot
Why music bots keep shutting down one after another, and how to frame the controls to avoid the skip war.
Read the guide →Running your team
Recruiting, sharing the load, following up — and avoiding everything resting on one person.
Staff CRM
Staff CRM: recruiting and running your team
Recruiting moderators, tracking activity and keeping a rota — with no spreadsheet and no Google form.
Read the guide →Organisation
Team rota
Slots that are actually covered, declared absences, and an alert on coverage gaps before they happen.
Read the guide →Understanding
The CRM numbers
Every number in the team space, with the exact rule behind it — and two moderators to show the difference.
Read the guide →Welcome and arrival
What a new member sees, and what you ask of them before they get in.
Verification
Captcha and verification
Filtering throwaway accounts at the door without scaring off legitimate members.
Read the guide →Welcome
Welcome message
What a new member should read on arriving, and why a nice image is no substitute for a useful sentence.
Read the guide →Auto-role
Auto-role
The role granted on arrival is useful — provided it only arrives after verification.
Read the guide →Roles
Role menus
Buttons or dropdown, five per row, single or multiple choice — and why reactions have had their day.
Read the guide →Rules
Server rules
Ten rules at most, an explicit acceptance, and above all a text that matches what the team really enforces.
Read the guide →Content and notifications
Telling the community when something happens elsewhere.
Twitch
Twitch alerts
A role to mention rather than @everyone, and the setting that prevents three announcements for one stream.
Read the guide →YouTube
YouTube alerts
A channel's RSS feed is enough — no API key, no quota. What remains is sorting shorts and replays.
Read the guide →RSS
RSS feeds
Following a blog, a forum or a game's patch notes in a channel — and the precautions for an address supplied by a third party.
Read the guide →Twitch
Twitch bot
Chat commands, moderation, a Twitch ↔ Discord bridge and shared XP — one bot instead of two separate communities.
Read the guide →Scheduling
Scheduled messages
A fixed-date message, a repeat, a sticky message at the bottom of a channel — and the point beyond which nobody reads them.
Read the guide →Twitch
Shared Twitch–Discord XP
Chatting during a stream and simply being there both earn XP on the server — provided the two accounts are linked. Here are the rules, in full.
Read the guide →Settings and tools
The panel, permissions, diagnostics, edge cases.
Panel
The web panel
What is better set on screen than by command, what stays faster on Discord, and why both show the same thing.
Read the guide →Permissions
Command permissions
Restricting a command by role or by channel, disabling it, setting a delay — without touching the server's permissions.
Read the guide →Audit
Permission audit
Five permissions decide a server's fate. Most servers hand them out without knowing.
Read the guide →Embeds
Embeds and messages
Discord's limits, what makes an embed readable, and why a background image gets tested with a twenty-five-character username.
Read the guide →Troubleshooting
When the bot does not respond
Nine times out of ten it is not a fault: it is a permission, a role hierarchy, or a module that was never switched on.
Read the guide →Languages
Multilingual server
Separate channels or automatic translation, the bot's language, and how to moderate what you do not understand.
Read the guide →Comparisons
What OriusBot does, and what the others do.
Comparison
Security bot comparison
Six bots compared on what matters: what they protect, what they let through, what is genuinely free.
Read the guide →Comparison
MEE6 alternative
What a level system really needs, and how to migrate without putting everyone back to level 1.
