What apoptotic is

apoptotic is one bot designed to replace the usual stack of five-or-six per-feature bots. It runs as a single Rust binary on its own VM, talks to Discord through serenity and poise, and persists everything (moderation cases, AutoMod config, leveling state, channel-game state, scheduled tasks, BMC memberships) to a local SQLite database owned by a dedicated worker thread. That design serializes writes naturally and never blocks Tokio workers, even when a guild generates a burst of audit-log traffic.

Most configuration can be done either through slash commands or through the dashboard — a small website that gives Discord server admins an easy UI for managing the bot.

Moderation suite

The moderation suite covers the full lifecycle of a case: warn, mute, kick, ban, tempban, and timeout. Every action is written to a structured audit log with the moderator, target user, reason, expiry, and related case IDs. Users can be looked up by ID, mention, or username and the bot will produce a per-user history view. Tempbans and timeouts auto-expire on the server side — they do not depend on the bot being online at the exact expiry moment. An optional appeal flow lets banned users submit a reasoned appeal that drops into a configured staff channel.

AutoMod

AutoMod is configurable per guild and runs every message through a chain of filters: word lists with optional regex, spam controls (rate limits and message repetition), mention controls (cap on @mentions per message), link controls (per-domain allow/deny lists), phishing-domain detection against a maintained blocklist, and raid / anti-nuke heuristics that watch for sudden bursts of deletes, role removals, or webhook creation. Optional alt-account detection is available through opt-in IP verification — see the bot privacy policy and the site privacy policy for exactly what is and is not stored.

Event logging

Granular event logging lets each guild route specific event categories — message edits and deletes, role changes, channel creates and deletes, voice joins and leaves, member joins and leaves, AutoMod actions — to different channels. Every log entry includes a deep-link to the original actor and target where applicable, so investigating an incident is a chain of clicks rather than a manual cross-reference.

XP and leveling

A standard XP / leveling system rewards consistent participation. XP is awarded per message with cooldown protection so it can't be farmed by spam. Roles can be auto-assigned at configurable levels, level-up announcements can be muted to a single channel, and a leaderboard command renders the current top contributors.

Channel games

Channel games include the classic counting game (with breaker detection, save points, and per-channel difficulty) plus a small set of opt-in mini-games designed for quiet hours rather than dominating the chat. The games share the same persistence layer as the rest of the bot, so state survives restarts.

Voice playback

Voice playback supports queueing tracks from supported sources, basic playback control (play, pause, skip, stop), and per-guild volume defaults. The voice pipeline runs in its own task so audio decoding never blocks command handling.

Scheduled tasks

Scheduled tasks cover the recurring social rituals that quietly hold a community together: a daily Question of the Day, birthday reminders, configurable one-shot reminders, and arbitrary recurring announcements. Schedules are stored in SQLite and replayed on startup, so a restart never causes a missed birthday.

Roblox + SP-Legends integration

apoptotic integrates directly with the SP-Legends backend. Inside Discord you can look up a Roblox player, see their public stats, track absences in private servers, and surface live private-server availability as embeds. The cross-service link uses an HMAC-signed token and the /verify endpoint on apoptoses.com hashes the visitor's IP — so the bot can detect alt accounts that share an IP within the same server without ever storing a raw IP. The token is single-use and time-limited.

Buy Me a Coffee tier role sync

For communities that fund themselves through Buy Me a Coffee, the bot syncs membership tiers to Discord roles automatically. Linking a BMC membership to a Discord ID is opt-in. When a tier changes, the corresponding role is added or removed without manual intervention.

Default permissions and why Administrator

apoptotic requests Administrator when invited. That is a broad scope, and the reason is honesty rather than convenience: several features — audit logging across every channel, role management for verification and BMC sync, AutoMod actions (deletes, kicks, bans), and channel-level event logging — require permissions that, taken together, add up to Administrator anyway. Splitting them into a custom permission set has historically caused subtle bugs where a feature silently fails on one server and not another. If you'd rather invite the bot with a narrower scope and accept that some features will be disabled, get in touch through the contact form.

Privacy and Terms

The bot has its own legal documents that cover what it stores about Discord servers it has been added to (moderation logs, AutoMod rules, leveling XP, counting state, configured log channels, BMC membership records, and so on).
