How to set up member verification on a Discord server

01

Before you start

You need the Manage Server permission. Kirzen needs Manage Roles, and the Kirzen role has to sit above the Unverified role in the role list, or it cannot hand the role out. Bots do not go through verification: the bot autorole takes care of them.

The steps

• 1. Choose how strict the gate is Strict: members who have not verified see only the verification channel. It is the strongest and the most work on a server that is already running. Standard: they can look around but not speak, which is what most servers want. Light: it only marks people and blocks nobody.
• 2. Create the roles Without confirm it only shows what would change. The roles are called Verified and Unverified unless you name them. Depending on the profile it also adjusts @everyone, which is what makes the gate real, so current members will notice the change until they verify.

• 3. Check the role order In the server's role list, put the Kirzen role above Unverified. Kirzen cannot give a role that sits above its own.
• 4. Choose how members verify A button, a select menu, or questions that a moderator reviews.
  /verification mode
• 5. If you chose questions, set them up Write up to five questions, separated by a vertical bar, and choose the channel where the answers go. With auto approve on, people get in as soon as they answer and the questions are only a record.
  /verification questions /verification review
• 6. Optional: change how the panel looks Title, text, button label and colour, given as a hex value.
  /verification appearance
• 7. Post the panel Send it to a channel that newcomers can see. If you change the looks later, run it again to update the message.
  /verification panel
• 8. Optional: refuse very new accounts Set a minimum account age in hours, up to 8760. It is off at 0.
  /verification minimum-age
• 9. Turn verification on If something is missing, such as the roles, the panel or a review channel, the command says what.
  /verification toggle enabled: true
• 10. Check it and test it Look at what is configured, then join with a second account to see the whole path.

Common mistakes

• Turning it on without a panel. Newcomers would get Unverified and have nothing to click. Post the panel first.
• Using Strict on a server that already runs. Members lose sight of channels until they verify. Tell your community first, or start with Standard.
• The Unverified role above Kirzen. Kirzen cannot give it, so new members do not get it.
• Questions without a review channel. The command warns you: with no review channel and no auto approve, nothing reaches a moderator.
• Changing the looks and forgetting the panel. The message already posted does not change by itself. Run the panel command again.
