How the attack score works

What it does

Anti-Nuke limits count one kind of action each. Deleting channels has a limit. Deleting roles has another. A careful attacker stays under all of them by doing a little of everything.

The attack score closes that gap. Think of a tab at a bar. Every damaging thing a person does goes on their tab. When the tab reaches 100, Bastion stops them.

Turn it on

There's nothing to switch on. The score runs whenever Anti-Nuke is on, and it's free.

1. 1

   Open Anti-Nuke in the dashboard

   Only the server owner and trusted people can change this page.

2. 2

   Open Advanced settings

   Find the group called Mixed attacks.

3. 3

   Change the points if you want

   Each action has a number from 0 to 100. Most servers never need to touch them.

The points

These are the defaults. They're the same on every security level.

Points last ten minutes. After that the action drops off the tab. Each person has their own tab.

Worked example: a mixed attack

On Balanced, the limit for deleting channels is 3 a minute and the limit for deleting roles is 3 a minute. Alex's account is hacked. The attacker deletes two of each, so neither limit is reached.

Four actions and the account is in quarantine. Without the score, the attacker could have carried on for the rest of the hour.

Worked example: a normal evening

Sam is setting up for an event. Sam creates 3 channels and 2 roles.

• 3 channels add 36.
• 2 roles add 20.
• Sam's score is 56 out of 100.
• Ten minutes later it's back to 0.

Sam never gets close. Building things scores low on purpose. Destroying things scores high.

What happens at 100

• The person gets your Anti-Nuke punishment. That's quarantine by default.
• A report goes to your log channel. It lists what they did, such as deleted 2 channels and deleted 2 roles within ten minutes, and says no single limit was reached.
• Your alert roles are pinged, if you chose any on the Logs page.
• With panic mode on, the panic starts. If the score included deleted channels or roles, the missing ones are recreated from your newest backup.

If a limit and the score are reached by the same action, the report names the limit.

Bastion's commands count too

A /ban, /kick or /quarantine add adds points to the moderator who ran it, on the same tab as anything they did by hand. If a command would take them to 100, Bastion refuses it, tells them it has been reported and applies the punishment. Timeouts and warnings add nothing.

Changing the points

• Lower a number to be more forgiving about that action.
• Raise a number to be stricter.
• Set it to 0 to leave that action out of the score. Its own limit still works.
• Switching a limit off on the Limits list also stops that action scoring.

The 100 point trigger and the ten minute window are fixed.

Who's never scored

The server owner, trusted people and Bastion itself. The same people skip every Anti-Nuke limit.
