Overview
The bot that shouldn't need to exist.
Honeypot is a Discord bot that automatically catches and removes spam bots by monitoring a dedicated #honeypot channel.
When someone posts in the honeypot channel, Honeypot acts immediately — removing the user and deleting their messages before they can cause harm.
How It Works
- 1.Honeypot creates (or you set up) a hidden
#honeypotchannel. - 2.Spammers or bots post in the channel.
- 3.Honeypot instantly removes the user (kick/ban) and deletes their messages.
- 4.The action is logged to your selected log channel.

Kick is default and is a softban (bans & unbans) so Discord deletes their immediate messages.
Getting Started

- 2.Ensure the bot has the required permissions.
- 3.The bot creates a
#honeypotchannel for you. - 4.Use /honeypot to configure the bot's behavior.
