Anti-invite

Automatically remove Discord invite links

Anti-invite scans messages for Discord invite links, resolves each one, and removes the message unless it is exempt. It is a premium feature.

Setup

Run /anti-invite. The command takes no options and opens a dashboard where you set the toggle, log channel, excluded channels and roles, member threshold, action and allowed servers.

What it detects

It matches discord.gg/..., discord.com/invite/... and discordapp.com/invite/..., with or without http or www. Other link shorteners and vanity redirectors (for example dsc.gg) are not detected.

Actions

SomeUser, invite links are not allowed here.
  • Delete (default): removes the message.
  • Delete and warn: also posts a warning that deletes itself after 8 seconds.
  • Delete and timeout: also times the member out for 10 minutes. This needs the Moderate Members permission.

The timeout length and warning lifetime are fixed and cannot be changed.

Exemptions

A message is allowed if any of these is true, checked in order: anti-invite is off, the channel is excluded, the author has the Anti-invite · Exempt capability, the invite points to this server, the target server is on your allowed list, or the target server meets the member threshold you set.

You can also delegate Anti-invite · Exempt in Permissions to selected roles. The Excluded roles control in the /anti-invite Discord dashboard edits that same capability grant, so both surfaces use one rule. Those members can post invite links without Anti-invite actioning them.

Limits and permissions

  • Expired or invalid invites cannot be resolved, and those messages are deleted anyway.
  • The member threshold is a “big servers are fine” allowlist. It defaults to 0, which means there is no minimum and every other resolvable invite is enforced. Set it above 0 to exempt target servers with at least that many members.
  • If a message contains several links and one is not exempt, the message is removed.
  • The bot needs Manage Messages. If it loses that permission in a channel, links there are silently left alone.
  • If the bot loses Moderate Members after you pick the timeout action, messages are still deleted but the timeout is skipped.
  • A log channel needs Embed Links and Send Messages, or logging is silently skipped.
  • Enforcement shares the same rate limits as the rest of the bot. During a heavy raid it can stop acting once those limits are hit.
  • You cannot add your own server to the allowed list.

After setup, test one invite from a server that should be blocked and one from a server that should be allowed. Check the log channel if you enabled logging.
