Avatar Protection
Stop scammers from copying trusted team members by locking down their avatars.
SecurityBot’s Avatar Protection feature allows you to protect a specific user's avatar from being copied by others in your server. When enabled, SecurityBot monitors new members and profile updates to prevent anyone from using the same profile picture as a protected user.
This is especially useful for founders, moderators, or team members who are commonly targeted by impersonators.
How to Use Avatar Protection
To protect someone’s avatar, simply run the command:
/protect_avatar [@user]SecurityBot will then monitor and block any member attempting to use that avatar.
✅ If the user updates their avatar, SecurityBot will automatically update the protected version.
🔁 Running the command again on the same user will remove the protection.
Example:
Using /protect_avatar @Hendo will:
Immediately protect Hendo’s avatar.
Prevent others from using the same profile picture.
Display a confirmation embed showing the protected image.
Using the same command again will:
Remove avatar protection for Hendo.
Confirm the action with an embed message.
Best Practices
Protect all visible team members. Founders, moderators, and support staff are frequent targets.
Pair this with Blocked Nicknames to build a stronger impersonation barrier.
Monitor logs regularly to stay ahead of new scam tactics.
