Linked Servers
The linked server system allows ScamShield to propagate scam detection actions across multiple servers, automatically taking action on known scammers wherever they appear.How It Works
When a scam is detected in any server:- ScamShield identifies all other servers where both the bot and the flagged user are present
- For each server with linked accept enabled, the bot reads that server’s configured linked actions
- The configured actions (warn, timeout, kick, ban) are executed in the linked server
- An alert is sent to the linked server’s configured alert channel
- The results are shown in the original server’s alert embed
Configuration
Linked server settings are configured per-server via the General tab in the web dashboard.| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Accept Linked Detections | Enable to accept and act on detections from other servers |
| Linked Actions | Actions to take on the user (warn, timeout, kick, ban) |
Use Cases
- Multi-server moderation — Keep serial scammers out of all your communities
- Early warning network — If a scammer is caught in one server, other servers in your network are automatically protected
- Shared ban lists — Effectively create a shared ban list across servers
Detection Types
Linked propagation preserves the detection type (casino, support, intro, quick_scam), so the linked server’s alert embed accurately reflects what type of scam was detected.
