Discord Bot Verification Setup Guide: Get the Verified Checkmark

Answer: A Discord verification bot blocks raids and filters new members by requiring one action before granting access: click-to-accept rules, solve a simple challenge, or wait for manual review. The safest approach is “click to agree → Verified role” plus logging to a mod channel.

TL;DR

• Create a #rules channel and a #welcome / #verification channel.
• Lock most channels until the user has @Verified.
• Use a button to grant @Verified after rules acceptance.
• Log verification events to #mod-log.

Why verification reduces raids

Raids rely on fast access. A verification gate adds friction and gives moderators time to respond, while also stopping bots that can’t complete basic steps.

Setup steps

1. Create @Verified role.
2. Lock core channels to only @Verified.
3. Post a rules acceptance message with a button.
4. Bot assigns @Verified when clicked; logs to #mod-log.
