Anti-Phishing & /report
Phishing — fake links sent in DMs or channels designed to steal Discord tokens, cryptocurrency
wallets, or personal data — is the most common threat Discord communities face in 2025.
WardForge fights it on two fronts: an automated scan layer that checks every posted link in
real time, and a community intelligence pipeline powered by the /report command.
Automated Link Scanning
Every URL posted in any channel WardForge can see is automatically scanned against three databases:
What Happens on Detection
Configure the response action with /antiphishing action [warn|kick|ban]. The default is
warn on first offense, ban on second.
The /report command turns your members into an active security network. When a member receives
a suspicious DM from another user, they can report it directly from Discord.
How to Use It
Anti-Abuse Safeguards
To prevent false reports or coordinated harassment, /report has several built-in protections:
- Minimum TrustScore of 20 required to submit a report
- 10-minute cooldown per reporter — prevents spam flooding
- Self-report blocked — you cannot report yourself
- Already-blacklisted check — if the target is already in the Global Ban list, you’re shown
the existing record instead of creating a duplicate
What Happens After You Submit
Priority System
The priority level on a staff review embed reflects how many different members have
independently reported the same target in the last 24 hours:
A HIGH priority flag means multiple unrelated members independently reported the same account.
This is a strong signal of a real threat, not a coordinated false report. Treat HIGH priority
reports as urgent.
Global Blacklist
The Global Blacklist is a shared database of confirmed scammers and phishing accounts,
maintained collectively by the WardForge network.
How a User Gets Blacklisted
- A
/report with a confirmed phishing link triggers an automatic blacklist entry
- Staff can manually add an entry via
/blacklist add @user [reason]
- WardForge’s automated scanner adds entries when it detects a pattern across multiple servers
What Happens to Blacklisted Users
- Any blacklisted user who attempts to join any WardForge-protected server is automatically banned
- The join attempt is logged in
#guardian-logs
- The Global Ban applies retroactively — if the user is already in the server, a staff alert is sent

Configuring Report Channels
By default, WardForge posts report embeds to #guardian-logs. To use a dedicated channel:
