Changelog
Tracking the evolution of maximum security.
v4.6.0 - LATEST
Advanced Analytics
- • Live Dashboard Graphics: Introduced an "Analytics" tab directly in the dashboard featuring a real-time, dynamic diagram of your server joins.
- • Data Visualization: Interactive Chart.js integration highlights best and worst traffic days using a custom intelligent color gradient.
Scam Link Detection
- • Automated Phishing Defense: Deployed advanced heuristic regular expressions instantly deleting common fake 'Free Nitro' or game promo links.
- • False-Positive Protection: Built-in whitelisting intelligently ignores true, legitimate Discord gift links so communities can still share freely.
With Version 4.6.0, we've brought a powerful statistical layer straight to your management dashboard along with zero-day-level phishing prevention.

Top Servers System v1.0
- • Featured Communities: Added the "Top Servers" system to showcase the largest protected communities directly on the homepage.
- • Dynamic Connectivity: Integrated an intelligent invite discovery engine that automatically fetches valid server invites for seamless joining.
Compliance & Transparency
- • Detailed Data Policies: Overhauled the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to include specific details on data storage, retention periods, and security measures.
- • Enhanced Privacy Clarity: Added clear documentation on how we process message metadata for real-time security without compromising user privacy.
The Policy & Connectivity update focuses on transparency and community growth. By adding the "Top Servers" system and providing explicit details on our data handling practices, we ensure server owners can discover new communities and manage their own with full confidence in our security architecture.
v4.5.0 - LATEST
Advanced Anti-Chain v3.1
- • Multi-User Detection: The anti-chain filter now detects coordinated attempts where multiple users type fragments of a word (e.g., User 1: "c", User 2: "o").
- • Targeted Punishment: Only the direct contributors to a fragmented word are punished. Bystander messages are preserved, while the entire violation chain is wiped.
- • Symbol Bypass Protection: New "Deep Cleaning" engine strips dots, dashes, and underscores (e.g., "c.o.c.k") to prevent filter bypasses.
- • Substring Whitelisting: Added safe-word support (e.g., "arch") to prevent false positives in high-security environments.
Security Infrastructure
- • Unified Logging System: Implemented a robust `sendLog` architecture across all security modules with intelligent category fallbacks.
- • Group security Logs: Coordinated violations now generate a single, detailed "Group Security Event" log, listing all penalized users.
- • Reliable Log Channels: Fixed logic issues to ensure security events are delivered even if specific log channels are unconfigured.
The Anti-Chain Protocol update introduces our most precise chat security engine yet. By moving beyond simple text matching to a multi-user awareness model, we can now effectively stop fragmented bypasses and group-based raids while maintaining 100% immunity for innocent bystanders. Combined with symbol-stripping logic and our new unified logging system, Detective sets a new bar for Discord server integrity.
v4.4.0
Strike System Overhaul
- • Dynamic Help Command: Added a new `!help` command that DMs a clean, formatting-friendly embed of all available commands to the user, automatically cleaning up the chat to prevent clutter.
- • Dashboard Strike Visibility: Fixed a critical ID mismatch that prevented strike data from appearing in the Penalized Members table.
- • Inline Strike Editing: Moderators can now hover over any strike to edit the reason or remove individual strikes directly from the dashboard.
- • Consolidated Logging: Strike events are now logged exactly once using a dedicated "strikes" logging category, eliminating duplicate entries.
- • User Notifications: Striked users now receive a DM with the reason, total strikes, and moderator name.
Dashboard & UX
- • Live Guild Refresh: New refresh button on the server selector that fetches your latest guild list from Discord without restarting or re-logging.
- • Save Bar Fix: Resolved an interaction conflict where clicking strike Edit/Remove buttons would trigger the "Save Changes" bar, blocking all edits.
- • Clean Messaging: All strike-related Discord messages (logs, DMs, replies) now use clean text formatting with no emoji artifacts.
The Strike Protocol update overhauls the entire moderation strike pipeline. From dashboard visibility to inline editing and consolidated logging, every step of the strike workflow has been refined. We've also added a live guild refresh to the server selector so you never need to restart to see new servers.
Anti-Spam v2 Engine
- • Processing Lockdown: Implemented a 5-second "lockdown" state for violators. Any trailing messages sent during this period are deleted on-sight to ensure 100% cleanup.
- • Thorough Scan: The engine now performs a deep-scan of the last 100 messages in the channel upon detection, hunting down and removing every message from the spammer.
- • Anti-Race Guard: New internal processing collection prevents concurrent punishment triggers, reducing API overhead and ensuring stability.
Performance & UI
- • Optimized Bulk Deletion: Grouped message removal via discord.js bulkDelete reduces multiple API calls to a single lightning-fast operation.
- • Similarity Logic Fix: Resolved a detection bug where the processor compared the current message to itself, improving accuracy and reducing false positives.
- • Visual Logging: Enhanced the Discord security embeds with clearer formatting and real-time trigger metadata.
The Maximum Integrity update introduces our second-generation Anti-Spam engine. By combining aggressive "Delete-on-Sight" lockdown rules with deep-scan channel cleanup and optimized bulk operations, we've created the most thorough chat security suite yet. This update ensures that no matter how fast a spammer moves, Detective moves faster.
UX & Visual Excellence
- • Custom Color Engine: Replaced native pickers with a premium HSV engine featuring Hex input, smart-flipping positioning, and glassmorphic aesthetics.
- • Discord-Grade Previews: Live embed previews now support real-time markdown rendering (bold, italics, code blocks) for accurate configuration feedback.
- • Rounded Aesthetics: UI-wide update to rounded corner consistency for a more modern and premium feel across all management modules.
Stability & Core Refinement
- • AutoMod Streamlining: Optimized the AutoMod suite by removing AI Semantic Analysis to focus on lightning-fast keyword and pattern detection.
- • Under-the-Hood Hardening: Overhauled script injection logic and error handling to ensure 100% UI responsiveness even on slower connections.
- • Safe Data Injection: Implemented server-side JSON serialization for configuration data, preventing dashboard crashes caused by special server characters.
Version 4.2.0 is all about polish and performance. We've introduced a state-of-the-art color engine and overhauled our live preview system to give server owners total creative control with instant visual feedback. Behind the scenes, we've hardened our infrastructure to eliminate UI unresponsiveness and ensure that even servers with complex names and configurations experience a seamless, crash-free management hub.
Whitelist & Access
- • Universal Shield: Whitelist protection now covers Anti-Alt, Anti-Spam, and Anti-Link modules, ensuring trusted users are never targeted.

Version 4.1.0 focuses on granular control and user experience. By introducing deep whitelist integration across all security modules and redesigning the dashboard settings into a themed category system, managing complex server security has never been more intuitive. We've also hardened the backend with improved fallback logic and real-time diagnostics to ensure maximum reliability.
Security & Infrastructure
- • Ironclad Headers: Integrated Helmet.js to enforce industry-standard security policies (CSP, XSS Protection, HSTS).
- • DDoS Protection: Global and targeted rate limiting applied to all API and authentication endpoints.
- • Environment Isolated: Full migration to secure .env configuration, removing all hardcoded secrets from the codebase.
