Impersonation is one of the most common scam tactics in Discord communities. Scammers may copy team usernames, adopt similar profile pictures, or use deceptive naming tricks to appear legitimate. Daxeon offers powerful anti-impersonation features to detect and block these tactics before they can cause harm.

## Key Protections

Daxeon includes layered tools to detect impersonation attempts and enforce protections automatically:

* **Blocked Nicknames**\
  Restrict the use of specific names or terms commonly associated with your team or brand. Detects both exact matches and visually similar variants using special characters.
* **Protected Avatars**\
  Monitor and restrict the use of profile pictures associated with trusted roles. If another user copies a protected avatar, Daxeon will take automated action based on your configured severity.

Each feature can be used independently or combined to create a robust defense against impersonation attempts in your server.
