Discord Alt Account Detection
Alt accounts (secondary or disposable Discord accounts) are frequently used by banned users to evade server moderation, cheat in community events, or launch targeted harassment campaigns. GuildWard analyzes risk signals to flag suspicious accounts during onboarding.
Key Risk Signals Analyzed
- Account Age Verification: Restrict accounts created within hours or days of joining.
- Network & IP Risk Indicators: Flag proxy networks and known automated threat ranges during verification.
- Manual Review Queue: Send high-risk accounts to staff review before granting member roles.
- Privacy-Respecting Architecture: Minimal data retention with explicit user notices and clear privacy controls.
