# Anti-Raid

> Protection against a flood of accounts joining at once. Anti-raid watches the join rate and locks the door — a different problem from filtering messages, and one Discord’s own tools do not address.

Raid detection is rate-based: fifty accounts in ninety seconds is a raid regardless of what any
of them says. AutoMod inspects content and therefore cannot see it at all.

Responses range from raising the verification level, to auto-timeout of new joins, to closing
the server to new members entirely until a human intervenes.

**Vetox** ships Anti-Raid on the Basic tier at $4.99/month, alongside a protection rule set
that also covers the anti-nuke case.
