Honeypot - Criminal

A honeypot channel looks ordinary and is mentioned nowhere. Real members have no reason to post there; bots and selfbots that scrape a server find it and trip it. Criminal deletes the message and applies your chosen punishment immediately.

Arm a trap

/honeypot edit

The panel sets the punishment, the channel, exempt roles and both messages. Everything is also available under the prefix as ,honeypot edit or ,honey edit.

Command	Purpose
`/honeypot edit`	Configure punishment, channel, exemptions and messages
`/honeypot config`	Show the current trap settings
`/honeypot reset`	Delete the trap channel and wipe its settings
`/honeypot variables`	List the tokens the warning and DM messages accept

Punishments

Punishment	Notes
`ban`	Permanent
`softban`	Ban + unban; takes a purge window of 12 hours, 1 day or 7 days
`kick`	Remove from the server
`warn`	Case entry only
`jail`	Needs `/setup jail` first
`timeout`	Discord’s native timeout

Both the trap warning and the trigger DM accept plain text or an embed script, so the trap can look like a normal rule reminder instead of an obvious trap.

Rotating names

Trap channel names can rotate hourly, so regulars can’t learn to avoid “the weird empty channel”. Turn rotation on inside /honeypot edit.

Safety rails

Administrators are always exempt · arming a trap can never lock you out.
The bot skips anyone it couldn’t moderate anyway, and members below its top role are unaffected.
Catches post to the log channel alongside other moderation records. Silence them under /config view → Logs → Ban, timeout & honeypot logs.

Choosing the jail punishment only works after /setup jail has built the role and private channel. Otherwise the catch is logged but the member is not moved.
