I created a verification bot that catches alts without storing IP addresses (cough).

After the Double Counter breach I wanted to see whether alt detection could work without keeping anyone's IP address. I built a bot, Rook, to try it, and it turns out it can.

When someone verifies, Rook turns their IP into a keyed fingerprint that's different in every server, then throws the address away. Two accounts with the same fingerprint, or the same browser cookie, are probably the same person, so staff get told. A stolen database can't be matched across servers, and the addresses aren't in it.

It also keeps out alts of banned members, blocks VPNs, Tor or new accounts if a server wants, and alerts staff to raids based on the server's usual join rate. Members can see or delete their data with /rook privacy.

It's not on top.gg yet as it's waiting review but it's at https://rook.bot otherwise!!! :)

I'd like to know what you'd want from a bot like this, or what would stop you switching from what you use now.

Double Counter Alternative: Is it Safe?

The recent issue was devastating, millions of ips/geo-data leaked, was it all actually required to keep "alts away"?

Read more at: https://discortics.com/blogs/discortics-vs-double-counter

In Discortics, the advanced verification feature has its main angle to tackle 2 main issues users have with Double Counter:

  1. Unnecessary data collection, not all the data collected would be required to be stored to process alt accounts.
  2. Once you verify an account, all your other accounts become "alt" accounts and can never verify in another server, ever again. Even if your "main" gets deleted. This is one of THE MOST ANNOYING EVENTS. Even Discord allows switching accounts because they are fine with it.
  3. Doggle is just out there, selling who you are.

How does Discortics do it:

  1. It stores only the hashed IP & fingerprint details for the verification. And this is only if Alt detection is enabled. If turned off, you have the normal gatewalls against vpn without any user PII data stored.
  2. There is no "main" account. You can verify any "one" of your accounts in any servers that has the system activated.
  3. No need of scanners or public data about you or your accounts for the whole web to search.

What are your thoughts on this?

Map Bot?

Hello r/discordhelp users!

I'm wondering if there is a bot that I could bring to my discord server, that asks users their locations or countries, and it drops a pin on a world map for the alliance to see. Bonus points if it also includes their UTC time(this is for a gaming alliance and would be of great help for scheduling events)

I know a poll would also help, but I think this would be cool to bring to the server. Anyone ever seen anything like that?

Double Counter just got breached

Just saw this about the Double Counter breach.

275k email addresses and Discord usernames apparently ended up exposed. If you’ve ever had to use that bot to get into a server, probably worth checking whether your info was part of it.

Finally made a ticket bot that actually answers members instead of just opening an empty channel

Python and JS script Bot

I just made a discord bot nuker that can ban Anti-nuke bots or security bots, ban members, and delete all channels in millisecond. It hides in the server, so the security bots will not even notice it.

Kept forgetting what happened in voice chat so I made a bot

Always wished something like this existed so went ahead and made it!

My friends and I were constantly forgetting the funniest stuff that happened in voice chat, so I made a bot you can invite to voice chat and it sends you a summary afterward.

I mostly use it when playing Minecraft but it works with pretty much any game. Still early and has rough edges but would love feedback if anyone wants to try it!

Looking for a bot that does TTS for asynchronous voice messages (not VC)

I'm looking for a bot that can do text-to-speech BUT send it as an asynchronous voice message in a chat (text) channel rather than live in a VC. I haven't found any that do specifically this.

The use case here is for an asynchronous voice message only chat channel (technically it's a text channel but it's only for voice messages), so that people without a microphone, on a computer rather than mobile, or who just aren't willing or able to speak are still able to join in on the conversation in that channel.

Does anyone know if this exists? Thanks

I tested my custom AI Bot's memory: After leaving Fontaine, escaping to Inazuma for 50+ chapters, I returned to Fontaine and Neuvillette STILL REMEMBERED I was an escaped prisoner 🗿 (Watch until the end for the reveal)

How can I make my /work command feel more satisfying?

I have a Discord bot with a /work command where users can do different jobs to earn coins and progress through ranks.

It works fine, but honestly, I’m not completely satisfied with how it feels right now. It feels like it could be more rewarding or satisfying to use, but I’m not sure what’s missing.

I’ve been thinking about things like making the result more visually satisfying, making rank-ups feel more rewarding, having different outcomes depending on the job, adding streaks or small surprises, or just making the whole interaction feel less static.

For people who play Discord economy bots, what makes a /work command actually feel satisfying to use?

I’m mainly looking for ideas that improve the experience rather than just adding more coins or bigger rewards. I’d love to hear what you guys would change or add.

Looking for Bot that Tracks Points Per Role

So I've been looking for a bot that I could use for guilds. My idea was to essentially assign team roles to each member in the server and have a monthly leaderboard that would showcase the teams with the highest point total. The problem is knowing what bot to use to set something like this up.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could make something like this work?

Looking for collaborator

Looking for someone who'd be down to work on a Discord bot together. I have some ideas, but I am open to discuss this further.

Must have experience with discord.py, python in general, postgres and preferably web technologies too like React or some other framework, but even pure HTML, CSS, JS is better than nothing. No need to be a master at any of those, but some familiarity is needed, especially at discord.py.

You can either reply here or shoot me a DM on Reddit to talk about this further if you're interested.

Probably in over my head but needing assistance on what I thought would be a simple endeavor for a bot

The goal I thought would be simple but I am so unbelievably lost.

- Get input from user (I know how to do this part)
- Match input to data in a google/excel sheet row
- Return data & input from sheet in an embedded message w/ image

Any help on resources or general assistance would be gladly appreciated, im not really competent in javascript at all, only knowing the basics of java & c++
