AntiScamBOT Update: 24h Monitoring & Smarter Detection
Summary
AntiScamBOT announces an important update adding 24 hour monitoring for new members, improved detection for business-offer and false-profit scams, and faster concurrent image reprocessing. Timeouts no longer trigger global watching and cross-guild checks only flag prior scam actions. This reduces false positives and boosts community safety.
Patch Notes – AntiScamBot Update (2026-06-03)
What’s new:
- Longer watch for new members: The bot now monitors members for 24 hours after they join (up from 30 minutes), checking their messages throughout that period for scam patterns.
- Smarter scam detection for recent joins: Updated the model to look for specific scams like:
- Fake business offers (“inbox me for paid reputation/review removal”).
- Out-of-context funds/sales/profit screenshots used as proof of earnings.
- Broad creative/marketing bios (only flagged unless paired with stronger evidence like links or payment requests).
- Timeouts no longer trigger global watching: Being timed out in Discord (for any reason) will no longer cause the bot to watch that user globally for future messages.
- Cross‑guild checks are scam‑focused: When the bot sees a user who was moderated in another server, it only counts that as a risk if the prior action was scam‑related (not just a timeout or unrelated moderation).
- Faster image handling: The bot can now reprocess multiple images at the same time (using a thread pool), so it stays responsive while scanning pictures.
