Last updated: Apr 24, 2026View as Markdown

Directive Objective

Section titled “Directive Objective”

Protect server availability, readability, and communication integrity against coordinated mass invasions (raids), script flooding, and disruptive spam bombardments.

1. Scope and Policy Coverage

Section titled “1. Scope and Policy Coverage”

This directive regulates technical and social sabotage:

  • Coordinated Raids: Invasions organized by external servers, raiding discords, or botnets entering simultaneously to overwhelm channels.
  • Mass Mention Attacks: Abuse of @everyone, @here, or mass role pings to disrupt thousands of members.
  • Corrupted Text & Glitch Characters: Spreading excessive Unicode diacritic marks (Zalgo text) designed to crash Discord client UI renders or freeze mobile devices.
  • Voice Channel Flooding: Joining voice channels with soundboards or mic-spam bots to scream, play ear-rape audio, or disrupt voice sessions.

2. Exclusion Boundaries and Scope Limits

Section titled “2. Exclusion Boundaries and Scope Limits”
  • Organic Influx Spikes: Sudden surges in community membership caused by a legitimate streamer, YouTuber, or partner server shouting out the server invite link.
  • Excited Celebration: Benign rapid chat typing during high-energy server events or live gaming milestones without malicious disruptive intent.

3. Emergency DEFCON Protocol

Section titled “3. Emergency DEFCON Protocol”
  1. Pause Invites: Under Server Settings > Safety Setup, immediately pause all active invites.
  2. Lock Down Public Channels: Switch @everyone permission for Send Messages to False on general channels.
  3. Execute Bulk Purge: Use moderation bots (e.g., Sapphire, Wick) to run /cleanup or /purge on messages sent during the raid window.
  4. Quarantine Raiding Accounts: Apply a Quarantine role or issue bulk bans via bot raid-mode commands.
