KippGuides DashboardGuides for running a safe Discord server
Practical, sourced guides for anyone running a Discord community, whether or not you use Kipp: securing accounts, permissions, raids, nukes, scams, rules, staff teams and appeals. Every security and moderation guide lists its sources, mostly Discord’s own help center, Safety Center and developer docs. Kipp’s own how-to guides follow.

Server security
- Lock down your own Discord account
Most server takeovers start with one staff account. Secure yours first: 2FA, backup codes, QR scams and apps you’ve authorised. - Roles, permissions and the 2FA requirement
How Discord’s role hierarchy works, which permissions are dangerous, and why every staff account should need 2FA. - Pick the right verification level, rules screening and filters
What Discord’s five verification levels really check, plus Rules Screening, Onboarding and the explicit media filter. - Get the most from Discord’s built-in AutoMod
What Discord AutoMod can block, its limits, and where a bot adds to it. - Stop a raid in progress
A step-by-step response to a join raid or spam wave, using Discord’s own tools and Kipp’s. - Recover from a nuke or a hacked staff account
Contain, clean up and recover, following the NIST incident response guide adapted to Discord. - Add bots and apps safely
Who can add apps, what to check before you do, and how to review integrations and webhooks. - Help your members spot scams
The scams that hit Discord communities, and simple advice you can paste into your rules or a pinned message. - Discord limits every moderator should know
The numbers behind the tools: audit log retention, timeouts, bans, bulk delete, roles and channels.
Moderation playbooks
- Write rules people follow
Structure, wording and enforcement, from Discord’s own moderation guidance. - Build and run a staff team
Least privilege, sub-teams, training and confidentiality, from Discord and Trust & Safety practice. - Fair, consistent punishments
Choosing an escalation system and applying it the same way every time. - Handle reports and evidence
What to collect, when to report to Discord, and when something is a matter for the police. - Run fair ban appeals
Why appeals help, how to review them, and what Discord’s own appeals cover. - Keep teens safe in your community
Discord’s age rules, its teen protections, and what that means for your server. - Look after your moderators
