Anti-Nuke

Protection against destruction by someone who already has permissions — mass channel deletion, mass bans, or handing dangerous permissions to a role. The attacker is inside, so rate-limiting joins does nothing.

Anti-nuke works by watching privileged actions and reacting to their rate: five channel deletions in ten seconds is not administration, it is an incident. The usual response is to strip the actor’s roles immediately and alert the owner.

It is a genuinely rarer feature than anti-raid — of sixteen moderation and security bots examined in this publication’s research, three shipped real anti-nuke. Vetox covers it through its protection rule set.
