Modern Discord Member Verification
A Discord verification bot verifies new community members before granting access to server channels. GuildWard replaces clunky text reactions and intrusive ad-supported external portals with a clean, privacy-respecting verification experience.
Key Verification Features
- Branded Verification Pages: Customize headers, community logo, color palette, and welcome instructions so members recognize your server.
- DM & Private Channel Routing: Delivers verification links via private DM. If member DMs are disabled, GuildWard seamlessly falls back to a server-configured private channel.
- CAPTCHA & Rule Acceptance: Combine Cloudflare Turnstile anti-bot checks with explicit community rules acknowledgement.
- Durable Role Reconciliation: Automatically assign verified roles upon completion and recover gracefully if Discord API rate limits occur.
- No Password or Token Requests: GuildWard operates via standard OAuth2 and NEVER requests user passwords or Discord token logins.
