Raids and rogue admins are rare but expensive. Pluuty's protection tools (Server Premium) are there for the bad day, not the average one.
Raid protection
Join gate: verification and account-age or avatar checks before members get full access
Raid mode: automatically tighten join handling when Pluuty detects a spike in joins or spam
Lockdown: lock channels with one command and reopen when it is clear
Anti-nuke
Anti-nuke watches for destructive admin actions — mass channel or role deletes, mass bans, webhook spam — and can rate-limit or strip permissions from the offending actor before more damage lands.
Structure snapshots
Pluuty can snapshot your server structure (channels, roles, permissions) so that if something is nuked, you can revert to a known-good layout instead of rebuilding by hand.
When you need it
Free moderation and automod handle day-to-day. Upgrade to Server Premium — a flat $4.99/mo — when your server is large enough to be a target, or when a single bad actor could do real harm.
