SAVY Community Guidelines

1. Core Mission & Respect

SAVY is built to empower Discord communities with dependable server protection, automated moderation, and professional administrative utilities. Every community using SAVY is expected to cultivate an environment built on respect, safety, and constructive engagement.

2. Fair Play: Giveaways & Polls

SAVY includes native /giveaway and /poll engines. Server owners and staff must maintain absolute fairness:

• Legitimate Prizes: Giveaways hosted via SAVY must represent real, fulfillable rewards. Bait-and-switch giveaways or deceptive contests intended solely to inflate member counts are strictly prohibited.
• Honest Polls: Polls must reflect truthful community voting without manipulating results or using alternate accounts to rig outcomes.

3. Responsible Auto-Moderation & Honeypots

SAVY provides powerful protective tools including Anti-Link, Anti-Spam, Anti-Nuke, and Honeypot traps:

• Anti-Link Shielding: The anti-link feature blocks unauthorized server invite links and unwanted YouTube links while intentionally allowing safe image/GIF sharing (Tenor, Giphy, .gif). Whitelist trusted media channels using the Exceptional Channels setting.
• Honeypot Trap Channel: Set channel permissions carefully on honeypot channels (e.g. hiding them or restricting viewing) so that regular, innocent members do not trigger false 12-hour automated timeouts.
• Anti-Nuke Protection: Keep your high-level administrator roles secure. The anti-nuke engine will trigger lockout and strip admin roles from any staff account that deletes 3 or more channels or roles in 15 seconds.

4. Recruitment Applications & User Privacy

When utilizing SAVY's interactive application panel system:

• Legitimate Screening: Applications are designed for server staff selection, whitelisting, roleplay characters, or team recruitment.
• Strict Privacy Protection: You must never ask applicants for sensitive personal information, including real-world government IDs, passwords, bank or payment information, or private physical addresses.
• Respectful Review: Staff reviewers must process applications fairly and handle applicant answers with confidentiality.

5. Ticket System Etiquette

Support tickets created through SAVY should be utilized solely for official server assistance, reports, and inquiries. Users are prohibited from repeatedly creating empty or troll tickets. Server staff are encouraged to archive transcripts responsibly using the built-in #transcript logging channel.

6. Zero Tolerance Violations

SAVY enforces zero tolerance for servers that facilitate harassment, hate speech, coordinated raids, illegal content, or distribution of stolen credentials. Communities found participating in these activities will have SAVY immediately withdrawn and will be permanently banned from the bot ecosystem.
