Verification | Discortics Documentation

Verification gives new members a check before they receive access roles. It doesn't remove existing members.

Before you begin

You need Manage Server.
Discortics needs Manage Server, Send Messages, Embed Links, Timeout Members, Ban Members, Kick Members, and Manage Roles.
Keep the Discortics role above every role it gives.
Create a public #verify-here channel and a private staff log channel.

Choose a mode

Mode	How members verify	Best for
Captcha	Type the text in a distorted image. Not case-sensitive, expires after 15 minutes	Most servers
Password	Enter a code you share, 4–100 characters. Case-sensitive	Private communities
Advanced	Sign in on a website. Blocks VPNs and checks for linked accounts	Stopping alt accounts

Set up Captcha

Set up from the Dashboard

Open Dashboard → Verification.
Choose Captcha.
Choose your log channel in Setup, then open Panel and select #verify-here as the panel channel.
In Failed verification, set the action to Do nothing for your first test.
Save with Verification off.
Open Dashboard → Settings → Auto Roles, choose at least one after-verification role, and save.
Return to Dashboard → Verification, reload, turn on Verification, and save.
Open Panel and select Send Panel.
Test with a member who isn't whitelisted.

The Verification page before sending the panel

Dashboard settings are grouped into Setup (mode, password, Advanced checks, log channel, and failure action), Panel (channel, message, and join DMs), Appeals (Advanced appeals and ping roles), and Bypasses (trusted members). Switching tabs keeps unsaved changes; use the shared save bar to save or discard them.

Access roles

Set these with /settings autorole or Dashboard → Settings → Auto Roles. See Configure autoroles.

Before Verification roles are given on join.
After Verification roles are given once a member passes. Use these to unlock the server.

Make sure only members with those roles can see the rest of your server. Each group holds up to 5 roles on Public, 10 on Prime, and 20 on Custom.

Settings

Setting	What it does
Log Channel	Records each attempt's member, status, and reason. Keep it private
Panel channel	Where the Dashboard's Send Panel posts. Discord asks each time
Password	Set a new one any time. The current password can't be viewed
Failure action	What happens when a member fails. See below
Whitelist	Members who skip the check
Reset	Clears all verification settings. Autoroles aren't changed

Failure action

Captcha and Password apply this after three wrong attempts. Advanced applies it when a check rejects the member. The default is Kick.

Action	What it does
Do nothing	No penalty. They can try again straight away
Warn	Issues a formal warning
Mute	Stops them speaking for a set time
Timeout	Applies Discord's timeout for a set time
Kick	Removes them. They can rejoin and try again
Soft Ban	Removes them and deletes one day of messages, then unbans
Ban	Bans them. Set a duration, or `none` for a permanent ban

Durations look like 15m or 1h. You can also choose whether to DM the member.

Whitelist

Open Whitelist in /verification settings and use Add Members or Remove Members with comma-separated user IDs, or paste IDs on the Dashboard. Each server can whitelist up to 10,000 members, and verification must be turned on to add new ones.

Whitelisted members skip the challenge and get both role groups when they join. To approve someone manually, run /verification whitelist user:@member. This applies only to this server.

Customise the panel

Dashboard: use the message builder for text, images, links, and one verification button or dropdown. Save before you send.
Discord: Send Panel always sends the default message with a Verify button. You can change its title and description for that send.

Sending creates a new message and doesn't update older panels.

How members verify

A new member joins and gets any Before Verification roles.
They use the button or dropdown on the panel, or run /verify.
Discortics shows them a private captcha or password prompt.
They select Enter Code and type their answer.
A correct answer gives them the After Verification roles.

They have three tries. Captcha difficulty and the 15-minute expiry can't be changed.

Advanced verification

Select Advanced in /verification settings or Dashboard → Verification.

A member selects Verify and gets a private link, valid for one hour.
They sign in with Discord and read the privacy notice.
The page checks their connection and device, and shows the result.

Members can decline and stay unverified.

What it checks

Check	What it does
Network screening	Blocks known VPN and Tor addresses and listed network providers
Linked accounts	Allows one linked account per server. Others must leave before one can verify
Account-switch cooldown	Waits 14 days after another linked account leaves. The same account can return immediately
Current bans	A Discord ban on a linked account blocks the others in that server

Alt checks are on by default. Turn them off with Alt checks on the Dashboard or Alt Checks in /verification settings. This keeps network screening, but stops browser fingerprinting, new IP or device matching records, and the linked-account, ban, and cooldown rules.

There's no permanent main account, so members can use account A in one server and B in another.

Premium options

On Prime or Custom:

Switch Cooldown: set the cooldown from 0 to 365 days. Downgrading returns it to 14 days.
Appeals: let members submit one appeal of up to 200 characters. Choose up to three ping roles, and optionally DM on join. Appealing doesn't give access.

Approve or review a member

Use /verification whitelist user:@member, or Choose an Action → Whitelist this user on a verification log. This gives the access roles and skips the challenge, linked-account, and cooldown checks in this server.

A ban on a linked account still blocks access until that account is unbanned. Discortics needs Ban Members or View Audit Log to check bans.

Timing: Ten rejected rejoins within 24 hours causes a ban. A first-time rejection has 15 minutes to retry. A failed rejoin gets the failure action immediately, unless Appeals is on, which gives 15 minutes.

Help a member who can't verify

"You are unverified". Their browser or privacy settings may be blocking the checks. In Brave, turn Shields off for the verification site and retry. They can also try another browser or ask staff for a review.

iCloud Private Relay is listed. Safari itself is supported, but the relay is blocked.

iPhone or iPad: Safari → Page Menu → Show IP Address.
Mac: Safari → View → Reload and Show IP Address.
Then reload and retry. See Apple's guide.

Your data

Advanced links Discord accounts across participating servers using network and browser or device fingerprints.
IP and fingerprint matching values are stored as keyed hashes, with account and server IDs, verification state, timestamps, and technical matching details. Raw IPs and device observations aren't stored in verification records.
These records stay while the member is in a server using Advanced, then for one year after they leave the last one.
They contain no GPS, city, country, or location history. Moderators see the result and reason, never the raw data.
Cloudflare separately processes connection information and the security challenge.

Read the privacy policy.

Staff shortcuts

On Prime or Custom, right-click a member and use Apps → Verify Request to send a verification DM, or Whitelist to choose which modules exempt them. Verify Request doesn't reset their verification or remove roles.

Failure logs offer Whitelist this user, and appeal logs also offer Reject Appeal. Each asks you to confirm and writes a new log.

Commands

Command	What it does	Permission
`/verification settings`	Set up verification and the panel	Manage Server
`/verification whitelist user:`	Approve a member in this server	Manage Server
`/verify`	Start verification privately	None

Troubleshooting

The panel isn't showing. Check that Verification is on and Discortics has Send Messages and Embed Links. Use Send Panel to post it again.

A warning says verification might not work. The Setup tab lists what's missing.

Roles aren't being given. Give Discortics Manage Roles, move it above the roles, and check they're in the right group.

The panel's Send button is disabled. Save all required fields first.
