Protecting your discord server from bots

A typical crypto discord server is constantly attacked by bots shilling scams. Banning them manually wastes your mods' and users' time. Basic protection measures, like captcha verification, do little good, either.

Rarimo has developed a free plugin for the popular token-gating bot Collab.Land to fight this menace. It allows the server admin to set up channels for verified humans only.

Configuring the Collab.Land bot​

Step #1: Invite the Collab.Land bot​

In case you didn't use Collab.Land yet, follow the Discord Bot Walkthrough to invite the bot to your server.

Step #2: Create a Discord role for humans​

Collab.Land's token gating rules are based on discord roles, so we need to create a role for the verified users by following the Setting Up Permissions FAG guide.

Let's call our role Certified Human✅:

Step #3: Add the Proof of Humanity action​

  1. Open the Collab.Land Command Center:
  2. Log in via Discord:
  3. Click on the Marketplace tab:
  4. Install the Rarimo Proof of Humanity Verify Action by clicking on the Free Install button:

Step #4: Set up a token-gating rule​

  1. Click on the TGRs tab in the Collab.Land console:
  2. Click on the Select Role button:
  3. Select the role you created in Step #1 and click Apply:
  4. Fill in the following fields and verify that the screenshot below matches your form:
    • Chain: Polygon;
    • Token Type: ERC721;
    • Addresses: 0xaD7De01cb7eaAFf3a419A0a0a3133a964cD90373(reference);
  5. Click Save and verify that you see the following screen:

Step #5: Configure the channels​

Now that we have the token-gating rule in place, we can configure the channels that require the Certified Human✅ role.

Follow the How do I set up a Role-Exclusive channel? guide to configure the human-only channels.

Step #6: Guide your users​

Add a greeting message to your #collabland-join or other appropriate channel that prompts users to get verified.

Verification guide for users​

Now that the server is configured, let's see how the users can obtain the Certified Human✅ role.

Step #1: Start the verification​

Call the /rarimo-verify command to start the verification process:

Step #2: Complete the Proof of Humanity verification​

tip

Users who completed the Proof of Humanity verification earlier can skip this step.

After clicking the Verify Your Humanity button, you will be redirected to the Prove Your Humanity page. Follow the instructions to complete the verification.

Step #3: Claim the verified role​

Once you've completed the verification, go to the #collabland-join channel and click on the Let's go button to obtain your verified role:

Step #4: Enjoy the quality discussions​

You can now access the channels that require the Certified Human✅ role. Have fun with your fellow humans!
