Gulag
A honeypot channel that catches spam bots and hacked accounts before anyone sees their spam.
Admins · Manage Server
The Gulag is a trap for spam bots and hacked accounts. Those accounts usually post their casino or “free Nitro” links from top to bottom into every channel they can reach. The Gulag is a channel at the very top of your server where nobody should write – so the spam lands there first and Evil6 steps in immediately.
How it works #
- Channel at the top
/gulag setupcreates the channel in the top position and posts a warning embed: don't write here. - Open on purpose
Everyone may write, upload files and post links in the channel – so bots actually walk into the trap. Members with Manage Server are exempt.
- Instant punishment
Anyone who writes there gets the configured punishment. With the default Ban, their messages from the last hour are also deleted server-wide – your community never even sees the spam.
- Logged
Every punishment is recorded in the mod log and the logging channel, including what was posted.
Punishments #
| Punishment | What happens |
|---|---|
| Ban Default | Banned; messages from the last hour are deleted server-wide. |
| Softban | Ban and unban right away: the messages are gone, the person can rejoin – good for hacked accounts of real members. |
| Kick | The person is removed from the server and can rejoin. |
Set up and manage #
| Command | What it does | Who |
|---|---|---|
/gulag setup [punishment] [name] | Create the Gulag channel at the top of the server with a warning embed. Punishment: Ban (default), Softban or Kick. | Admins · Manage Server |
/gulag disable [delete channel] | Turn the Gulag off, optionally deleting the channel. | Admins · Manage Server |
/gulag status | Show channel and punishment. | Admins · Manage Server |
- Keep the channel at the very top – that's where it catches bots posting from top to bottom.
- Tell your community the channel is a trap. The warning embed does that, but a line in your rules doesn't hurt.
- You can also change punishment and status in the dashboard; the channel itself is created with
/gulag setup.
