The captcha system protects your server from bot attacks it might face.
Before enabling the captcha, note that Discord already offers ways to filter arrivals: the server's verification level (email address, phone number, account age) and, in Community mode, the rules screen and onboarding. These settings add no extra step for your members and are enough for most servers.
DraftBot's captcha remains useful if your server is not in Community mode, or if you want an additional barrier on top of these protections.
If your server uses Discord's native rules screen (the one new members must accept before accessing the server, enabled through Community mode), DraftBot's captcha will only appear once those rules have been accepted.
You can configure the captcha system on your server with the /config command, then going to the "Captcha" tab of the selector.
You will then be able to:
Configuring the captcha system is not available on the DraftBot panel yet.
When a new member joins your Discord server, a message appears in the channel you have set for the captcha.
The member then has to type the characters shown on the image meant for them in order to access the server.
The join message is only sent after the Discord community rules and DraftBot's captcha have both been validated.
If the member does not answer within 2 minutes, or fails the captcha more than 3 times, they will be kicked automatically!
