| Ban after kicks | With Kick, ban accounts that come back after this many kicks (up to 10). Empty never bans. | Never | Free |
How it works
The alt identifier checks every member who joins, before verification and the join announcer. Members it kicks or bans skip both.
Held members can't start verification, and aren't verified automatically when they rejoin, until their account is old enough. /alt-identifier allow lets one user in before that.
Kicked and banned members get a DM saying why. After 10 catches in a minute, Verifier stops sending these DMs for the rest of that minute; the action still happens.
Hold needs verification
Hold in verification only works when the server has a verification system.
Verifier needs the matching permission
Time out needs Timeout Members, Kick needs Kick Members and Ban needs Ban Members. Saving refuses an action Verifier can't take, and the panel warns you if the permission is removed later.
Troubleshooting
Saving fails with a permission error
Verifier is missing Timeout Members, Kick Members or Ban Members for the action you picked. Give its role the permission in Server Settings › Roles.
A real member was caught
Run /alt-identifier allow with the member, or with their user ID if they were kicked. They're let in even though their account is new.
Held members can't verify
That's what Hold does. They can verify once their account reaches the minimum age, or right away after /alt-identifier allow.
