Honeypot system
The new honeypot system detects suspicious users before they can cause problems. Server owners can choose the punishment, including purge, timeout, or soft ban.
Java Lava gives Discord moderators the tools they need for everyday server management, including moderation, welcome messages, reminders, configuration, and more.
Most Discord scams rely on a small number of tricks. These checks can help you spot them before they become a problem.
Java Lava staff will not contact you first asking for passwords, tokens, or payments.
Be careful with shortened links and websites you don't recognize. Check where a link leads before opening it.
Fake Nitro offers and verification pages are common ways to trick Discord users into giving away account access.
A copied username or profile picture doesn't make someone staff. Check their username, roles, and server permissions.
Use a strong password and enable two-factor authentication on your Discord account.
Report suspicious messages to Discord and tell the server moderators so they can review what happened.
