ADA Handle Filter

Block unauthorized or scam-related ADA Handles from being shared in your server.

SecurityBot’s ADA Handle filter helps prevent phishing, impersonation, and scam attempts by blocking any unapproved ADA Handles posted in chat.

By default, all ADA Handles are blocked unless explicitly allowed. This ensures only trusted handles—such as your project’s official handles—can be shared in your community.

How to Manage ADA Handles

Enable or disable the ADA handle filter

The filter is enabled by default, meaning all ADA Handles are blocked unless approved. You can toggle the filter on or off using:

/settings block_handles

• When enabled, any ADA Handle not on the allowlist will be removed from chat.

• When disabled, ADA Handles will not be filtered.

A confirmation message will appear indicating whether ADA Handle filtering is currently enabled or disabled.

Allow a specific handle

To whitelist a handle you want users to be allowed to share in chat:

/allow_handle [handle]

Example:

/allow_handle $securitybot

This adds the handle to your allowlist. Messages containing that handle will no longer be blocked.

---

Remove a handle from the allowlist

To revoke permission for a previously approved handle:

/remove_handle [handle]

Example:

/remove_handle $securitybot

Once removed, messages containing the handle will again be blocked (if filtering is enabled).

---

View all allowed handles

To review which ADA Handles are currently approved:

/view_all [Allowed Handles]

Select "Allowed Handles" from the options to view your current allowlist in an embed.

Best Practices

• Only allow ADA Handles that belong to your team, partners, or trusted projects

• Use /view_all [Allowed Handles] regularly to audit the allowlist

• Combine with name blocking and link filtering for stronger protection

Only users with the admin role or Discord’s Administrator permission can manage the ADA Handle filter.
