Custom Bots could Nuke your Server
15,101Letting someone code a custom discord bot for your server is very dangerous. This is because a lot of people will inadvertently give the bot permissions that could be used against them. Bot creators can used modified discord clients to log into the bot and become the bot. When logged in, the bot creator can ban everyone, modify roles, modify channels, and basically reduce your server into nothing.
How do you protect yourself from custom bots that can nuke your server? Basically don't accept custom bots from people unless you know exactly what the bot is doing. This also applies to webhooks. Stick with the main bots that people use on their discord servers and you should be safe.
TO BE FAIR, there are a ton of actual hardworking developers out there that do create bots for a living. Just do your research on the person who is developing your bot and see if they have created reputable projects in the past. Someone with a ton of active and safe projects under their belt will not risk their rapport for a single 500 member discord server. So, just keep in mind that there are legitimate developers out there that want to get paid or get their name out there.
