A Dyno Alternative With Anti-Nuke and Anti-Raid
Dyno is one of the most used Discord bots, with automod, moderation, logging, tickets and much more. Its own FAQ says it does not stop staff abusing their permissions. That is the job Bastion is built for.
Last checked: . Details about Dyno come from dyno.gg and docs.dyno.gg on that date and may have changed since.

Ban and timeout appeals
Someone who is banned or timed out gets a link, signs in with Discord and explains why it should be lifted. Staff approve or deny with one click.
How appeals workMember reports
Members right-click a message, choose Apps, then Report to moderators. Staff get a post with buttons to delete it, time the author out or dismiss it.
How reports workRight-click actions
Warn, timeout, kick, ban or quarantine from the right-click menu, with a short form first and the same limits as the slash commands.
Right-click actions
Which one should you pick?
Choose Dyno if
- You want one bot for automod, moderation, tickets, levels and social alerts.
- You want ban and mute appeals and tickets from the same bot.
- You want the bot with the biggest track record. Dyno says it is on over 11 million servers.
Choose Bastion if
- You want protection from a rogue admin or a hacked staff account. Dyno's own FAQ says it does not offer this.
- You want join raids detected and stopped by themselves.
- You want a captcha for new members without building one yourself.
- You want backups of your roles and channels.
- You already use Dyno for everything else. Keep it, and add Bastion for security.
