Discord verification bot
Keep bots and raids out of your server.
New members press Verify and type a code from a picture, press a button, or answer a few questions before they can chat. Then your bot gives them their roles. It's all set up on one page in BotGhost, the no-code Discord bot maker.
Every setting is free on every bot, from the captcha code to raid locks and staff review.
- Press Verify below.
- Type the code from the picture.
- You'll get your roles and see the rest of the server.
Type the codeMade with BotGhostHow members verify
Pick one way for each server. Every reply is private, so only the member who pressed Verify sees their code or their answers. Press a way to see it play out.
Press a button
Tom presses Verify on the panel and he's in. The bot gives him your Verified roles, and only he sees the reply.
Quick for members, and it stops most bots that only join and post.
Type a code
Tom presses Verify and gets a code in a picture only he can see. He presses Type the code and types it back. Capitals don't matter.
Every press gives a new code, so it stops bots that can press buttons. A wrong code counts as a wrong try.
Rules before the code
Switch on Show the rules, and your rules sit at the top of the form Tom types the code in, with a box he has to tick.
He can't send the code without ticking it.
Answer questions
Tom presses Verify and fills in a short form, up to 5 questions. With right answers set, the bot lets him in when every answer is right.
Leave a question's answer empty to take any answer. Capitals don't matter.
Staff approve
Or your staff read the answers. They're posted in your review channel with how old Tom's account is and when he joined, and Vez presses Approve.
Tom gets his roles straight away. Deny can do nothing, kick or ban.
Who gets in, and who doesn't
Brand new accounts, accounts with no picture, and waves of joins are where spam bots come from. Each check is a setting you switch on, and members who are stopped are told why.

Lock verification during a raid
When a lot of accounts join at once, verification locks for a while, so a wave of bots can't get in. It opens again by itself, and staff can lock it by hand with /verification lockdown.

The lock
- Lock it by itself
- Off to start with. When 2 to 100 accounts join within 10 seconds to 1 hour (10 within a minute to start with).
