How do I protect my Discord server from an admin going rogue or a nuke attempt?

Force 2FA for moderation, cut extra Administrators, and put BetterAntispam’s role above staff. Run /antinuke settings (Administrator). Free toggles default on. The bot watches the audit log and can quarantine the actor and revert what it caught. It cannot punish a role above itself and does not rebuild from a snapshot.

Does Discord have built-in anti-nuke?

No dedicated nuke detector. You get 2FA for moderation, role hierarchy, the audit log, Pause Invites, and Security Actions. The sensor that punishes a rogue admin is a bot.

Is a Discord anti-nuke bot free?

BetterAntispam’s core antinuke is free. Wick’s baseline is free with paid advanced pieces. Dyno does not ship anti-nuke.

Does BetterAntispam restore a nuked server?

It reverts changes it caught. It does not load a saved copy of every channel and role. Wick’s docs sell Panic Mode for that job.

Core is free

Best Discord anti-nuke bot against a rogue admin

BetterAntispam is a free Discord anti-nuke bot for server owners. /antinuke settings (Administrator) watches the audit log for mass channel or role deletion, mass bans, webhook creation, and permission grabs, then quarantines, bans, kicks, strips roles, or reverts what it caught.

For owners who are scared of a compromised moderator, not a join flood. A nuke is an insider with permissions. Put the bot role above every staff role it must stop.

How to protect a Discord server from an admin going rogue

1Force 2FA for moderation in Discord Safety Setup. Cut extra Administrators. This matters more than any bot.
2Invite BetterAntispam. Leave Administrator, Ban Members, and Manage Roles on the invite.
3Drag the bot role above every moderator and admin it should be allowed to quarantine. A bot below a rogue Administrator is a spectator.
4Run /setup, then /antinuke settings (Administrator). Free toggles default on.
5Set the punishment: quarantine, ban, kick, or strip roles. Quarantine is the least dramatic first pass.
6Run /scan. It audits dangerous @everyone overwrites and other bots holding Administrator.
7Set /recoverykey while you still own the server.

What this anti-nuke bot actually does

Reads Discord’s audit log and acts on mass channel/role deletion, mass bans, webhook creation, and permission grabs.
Can quarantine, ban, kick, strip roles, and revert the changes it caught.
Cannot punish a role sitting above its own. Hierarchy is the defense. The bot is the sensor.
Does not rebuild a server from a saved snapshot. Wick’s docs sell Panic Mode for that job. /unnuke only rolls back a /nuke channel recycle.
This is not anti-raid. Joins are /antiraid settings.
