Knows who did it
With View Audit Log every deletion, ban, kick, unban and webhook change is counted for the account that made it, within a time window you set.
Discord anti-nuke bot that stops the attacker, not your whole server
A nuke takes seconds: a compromised admin or a rogue bot deletes channels, bans half the server and floods webhooks. BotGG’s anti-nuke counts destructive actions per account, stops the one who is doing them and undoes what it can — while everyone else keeps chatting.

@Admins
What you get
Instant triggers
A role gaining Administrator or Ban Members, a dangerous role handed out, an unauthorized bot added, the server name or vanity URL changed — acted on at once.
Quarantine, not chaos
Default response: every role BotGG can remove is taken away and a no-permissions Quarantine role added. The roles are stored, so a “Restore roles” button gives them back.
Reverts the damage
Webhooks they created are deleted, dangerous permissions removed, dangerous roles taken back, bots they added kicked and the old server name put back.
Restore from a backup
On every plan, deleted channels and roles are recreated from your newest backup taken before the attack, then a restore report is posted.
No loophole through the bot
Bans and kicks someone makes through BotGG commands or the console count for that person too, so a compromised mod can’t nuke via /ban.
How it works
Turn on Moderation and check permissions
Enable Moderation in the BotGG console. BotGG’s invite already asks for View Audit Log — the Protection tab warns you if it is missing and offers a re-invite link.
Configure anti-nuke
On Protection → Anti-nuke set the time window and a threshold per action (0 turns one off), pick the response — quarantine, strip roles, kick, ban or alert only — and add trusted users and roles.
Prepare the safety net
BotGG creates the Quarantine role and takes a safety snapshot when you first enable anti-nuke. Turn on auto-restore (free on every plan) and keep Backups running.
Respond from Discord
When a nuke starts, your alert channel gets the trigger, the executor and what was done. Restore roles with one click, or hit
/panicto lock everything down.
What the anti-nuke watches
Each counter is per executor and per time window, so a moderator banning two spammers is fine, while one account deleting several channels in a few seconds is not. Instant triggers fire on the first occurrence by anyone who isn’t trusted. The owner and BotGG are always trusted; trusted roles only count once they have been held for ten minutes, and handing someone a trusted role is itself a trigger.
If the attacker’s top role is above BotGG’s, the bot can’t touch them — the alert says so and tells your team to act now. That is why the console suggests keeping BotGG’s role near the top. Step-by-step hardening tips are in the Discord anti-nuke guide.
- Thresholds: channel deletes and creates, role deletes and creates, bans, kicks, unbans, webhooks, emoji and sticker deletions.
- Responses: quarantine (default), strip roles with an optional 24-hour timeout, kick, ban, or alert only.
- A bot that nukes is kicked instead of quarantined — its power is its managed role.
- Every incident lands in the console’s incident log with “Restore roles” and “Undo”.
Without the audit log, and when you need a panic button
Without View Audit Log BotGG can’t see who did what, so it falls back to counting channel deletions, role deletions and bans across the whole server and only alerts. Grant the permission to get per-user protection.
/panic start locks every writable channel, pauses invites for 24 hours through Discord’s incident actions and can quarantine one member; with Verification enabled, newcomers also have to solve its captcha. /panic end puts everything back. Anti-nuke is part of Moderation and works alongside anti-raid mode.

What is a Discord nuke?
A nuke is when someone with too many permissions — often a hacked admin account or a malicious bot — deletes channels and roles, bans members or spams webhooks within seconds to wreck a server. An anti-nuke bot detects that burst and stops the account behind it.
How do I protect my Discord server from being nuked?
Give admin permissions to as few people as possible, keep BotGG’s role above staff roles, grant View Audit Log, enable anti-nuke with the quarantine response and keep regular backups. The anti-nuke guide walks through every step.
Will anti-nuke punish my own admins?
Only if they cross a threshold. Add them as trusted users or give them a trusted role and they are never acted on; the server owner and BotGG are always trusted. A quarantined member gets every role back with “Restore roles”.
Can BotGG bring back deleted channels?
Yes, on every plan: auto-restore recreates deleted channels and roles, including the permission overwrites that pointed at deleted roles, from the newest backup taken before the attack. You can also restore manually from Backups.
What permissions does anti-nuke need?
View Audit Log to see who did what, Manage Roles to quarantine, Kick or Ban Members for those responses, Manage Webhooks to delete webhooks (not in the default invite — the alert tells you when it is missing) and Manage Server to put the server name back.
Does it react to bans made through BotGG itself?
Yes. Kicks, bans, softbans and unbans someone makes through BotGG commands, the console or appeal approvals are counted for that person with the same thresholds, so a compromised moderator can’t use the bot to nuke.
