Discord Anti-Raid Checklist (2026): Security Settings That Actually Work
Use this checklist to harden your server before attacks and reduce incident damage when raids begin.
May 4, 2026
TL;DR
Anti-raid success comes from layered controls: Discord native safety settings, strict mention/role permissions, and fast response playbooks.
Core Security Checklist
| Action | Where to Configure | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Discord Raid Protection | Server Settings -> Safety Setup | ML-based suspicious join controls |
| Set Verification Level | Require stronger account verification | Reduces low-quality joins |
| Enable AutoMod rules | Block mention spam and suspicious content | Limits blast-radius quickly |
| Restrict @everyone permissions | Disable broad mentions and risky defaults | Cuts spam escalation |
| Prepare incident roles | Emergency moderator role with clear scope | Faster response with less chaos |
Fast Response Script
- Lock high-risk channels and enable slowmode immediately.
- Pause invites and switch to stricter verification profile.
- Coordinate all actions from one internal mod channel.
Practical Example
If your goal is full protection and visibility for every new join, run RestoreMem with verification-first onboarding and mod logs. You can monitor who joins, who verifies, and who is blocked with a clean audit trail for your team.
If a nuke happens, you can move directly into controlled recovery and restore your community state quickly instead of rebuilding manually from zero. This is exactly why operator teams choose RestoreMem.
