What’s a good bot for verifying new members before they can chat?

BetterAntispam. Run /verification settings (Administrator) and pick button, image CAPTCHA, math, or hidden word. Members run /verify. Core is free. Keep Discord Rules Screening on as well.

Does Discord already verify members?

Rules Screening and verification levels exist. They do not give you image CAPTCHA, math, or a hidden word. BetterAntispam adds those inside Discord.

Is Discord verification free?

BetterAntispam’s four modes are free. A custom website CAPTCHA page is Shield, sold in Discord’s store.

Will verification stop a raid?

It slows humans. A join flood still needs /antiraid settings and Pause Invites.

Grants a role on success. Can kick on failure or timeout. Can block young accounts.
