How to block scam links on Discord

Scam links - fake "free Nitro", phishing pages, sketchy invites - are how most servers get members compromised. Here is how to catch and remove them automatically.

Turn on link protection

Open the AI Chat Filter and select your server.
Enable it - scam and phishing links are caught as part of the filter.
Set a log channel so you can see what was blocked.
Save changes.

Why automatic beats manual

Scam links spread in seconds, usually from a freshly hacked account posting to many channels. By the time a moderator notices, people have clicked. Automatic filtering removes them the instant they are posted.

Layer your defences

Combine the filter with anti-raid (so compromised accounts are slowed down) and a minimum account-age gate. Together they shut down the usual scam-spam pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Does it block all links?

No - it targets scams, phishing and unwanted links rather than blanket-blocking every URL, so normal sharing still works.

What happens to a caught message?

It is removed and logged, and repeat offenders can be timed out automatically.
