OddCord system plan

Built into Discord, so it stops a message before anyone sees it. No bot can do that. Turn on the ready-made lists for profanity, sexual content and slurs, then add your own words. Set this up first, because it changes what you need from everything else.

There is a maximum number of rules. When you reach it, the next job covers the gap.

Adds extra actions on top of Discord AutoMod instead of running a second filter. It is the only bot here that does this. It has case management, more than eighty log types with ignore lists, self-assign roles, and alerts for Twitch, YouTube and TikTok. Used by 1,738,800 servers. Made by one independent developer. Completely free.

Choose this instead if you want TagScript, which lets you write commands with variables and conditions. Sapphire has nothing similar. Carl-bot also has 250 reaction-role pairs. Used by 14,847,972 servers. Two downsides: it runs its own filter alongside Discord AutoMod, and it is owned by a company called Bot Labs, which belongs to BlueStacks.

4.99 dollars per month. Choose it if other people will configure the server and want one on-off switch per feature.

Maki, Discortics, ProBot and MEE6. Their best features are levels, economy and tickets, which you are building yourself.

The only thing here that helps when a staff account is stolen and starts deleting channels. It watches for mass deletion, webhook spam and permission changes, removes the roles of whoever is doing it, and can undo the damage. It also backs up your server structure. The free version covers the basics. The five dollar version adds backups, undo, and panic mode.

You already bought this for life. It covers the same six kinds of attack, and can give staff moderation powers without giving them dangerous Discord permissions. Using it here instead of Wick brings your bot cost to zero. Two catches: it is a large multipurpose bot, so you must keep its levels, economy and music switched off, and its invite link asks for full Administrator by default, which you should reduce on the permission screen.

Free and open source, but you run it on your own server and maintain it yourself.

Detects large coordinated raids by fake accounts and bans them. It shares information across more than 100,000 servers, so a raid that hit another server first is blocked on yours before it starts. Setup is almost nothing: invite it and give it permission to ban. Its own site says raid protection is free permanently.

It only does this one thing. It will not stop a single troublemaker or a staff member behaving badly. Those are the two jobs above. There is no real competitor.

Spots second accounts belonging to banned people, and blocks VPNs, proxies, Tor and virtual machines. It gives a score from zero to one hundred rather than a yes or no, and takes about three seconds. This matters more for you than for most servers: once credits become real vouchers, someone making extra accounts is committing fraud, not just being annoying.

If you already pay for Wick, its own verification screen may be enough, and that is one fewer bot. It is weaker at spotting second accounts.

This identifies people by their device and network. Tell your members it is running. Start it in warning-only mode before letting it ban automatically, because shared houses and normal VPN users do get flagged.

Four separate free copies can sit in one server, so four voice channels can play different things. It plays from Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Bandcamp, Vimeo, Mixcloud, direct files, more than 20,000 radio stations, and Twitch streams. A queue holds up to 10,000 tracks. It includes a guess-the-song game. Playing 24 hours a day needs five server boosts.

This is not a fault. In 2021 Google sent legal notices that shut down Groovy and Rythm completely, and in 2023 forced Hydra to remove music entirely. No large music bot plays YouTube any more. Assume any music bot can disappear, and never make it essential.

Chip or Vexera if Jockie stops working. Save the link rather than installing them now.

Shows member and channel activity, and can display numbers as channel names, including clocks and countdowns. Install it early, because it cannot fill in the past. The day you want to compare this year to last year, you needed it a year ago.

You will already be saving every event in your database. After step 2 you can show better numbers than any bot, because yours can compare Discord activity against Twitch watch time and credits spent. Statbot fills the gap until then.

Levels and credits both come from the same thing: taking part. Two separate systems means two sets of numbers that must be kept in step forever. Use one ledger and one progression.

Gives roles based on how active someone has been recently, and removes the role when they stop. It is not a level system, so there is nothing to untangle later. Statbot is already installed for the job above.

Sapphire has no welcome feature, which turns out to help. Your welcome message is where account linking starts, so the link button belongs in the bot that owns identity. One message, one button, straight into job 1.

Built into server settings. Rules agreement and channel choices. Free, no bot needed.

Already installed. It sends a set message when it sees a word. Enough for common questions.

Both let you use variables and conditions without hosting anything. YAGPDB goes furthest but takes real effort to learn.

Anything that needs to read a balance has to live in your bot anyway. Do not build a general system for making triggers. Build the three specific triggers you actually want.

This is the point of the whole project and the part you have already built. No bot can do it, because no bot knows what a minute of watching your stream is worth, or how to send a real gift card.

It has a real public interface for reading and changing balances, so you could have used it instead of your own database and written only a connector. Not chosen, because you want full control, and its currency cannot properly represent something worth real money. Worth knowing it exists.

You asked for custom games, so nothing ready-made fits. These pay out in coins only, never credits. See rule 3 in section 7.

Jockie's guess-the-song game comes with the music bot and costs nothing extra.

Sapphire has no ticket system, so this needs its own bot. Both are free at normal volume. I have not checked either against their own websites, so confirm the details before relying on them.

You have a website with logins. Support requests could be a form there, saving into the same database, with no extra bot.

Shows every event in each member's own time zone, understands times written normally, and collects who is coming. It overlaps with nothing else here.

Discord Scheduled Events are free and fine if everyone is in one time zone.
