Discord gave Protector access to presences. Three protections turn on, and statuses are read, never kept.
Presences are the members' status: online or not, their custom status, the device they use. Discord keeps this access for bots that really need it, and it has just granted it to Protector.
Trapped status
An account that puts a scam link in its custom status is handled as if it had posted it in a channel. It's on by default, in the Anti-phishing module.
Representative role
Members who put your server invite in their status get a role, and lose it when they remove it. Turn it on in the Invite tracker module, with the role of your choice.
Staff presence report
Every Monday, the daily online time of members with a staff role is posted in the log channel. Only the daily totals are kept, for 30 days. Turn it on in the Staff watch module.
The details of what is read and kept are in the privacy policy.
Appealing a blacklist
/appeal now opens a ticket in your name on the support server. You explain your situation directly to the Protector team, you can add screenshots, and you get the answer in the same place.
Only one appeal can be open at a time, and you need to be on the support server to see it.
Fixed since
An announcement status, like "5x Nitro Boost giveaway" with a server invite, was taken for a scam. Only a known scam domain, written with or without https, or scam text next to a link outside Discord now counts.
Presences are read more lightly by the bot, and /verification-setup no longer stops on an error at the end of the setup.
Image scanning now runs on its own: the bot no longer freezes for one or two seconds on every image it checks, and keeps answering commands meanwhile.
The bot stays responsive even under heavy load: its database keeps what it reads often in memory, direct messages and welcome, level and captcha images no longer block it, and nothing that hasn't changed is rewritten every ten minutes anymore.
After a restart, the Invite tracker showed "inviter not determined" for more than an hour. Invites are now read again in about ten minutes, biggest servers first.
On the Balanced level, an image is only removed from 80% confidence, up from 70%: ordinary photos were mistaken for explicit content. Between 65 and 80%, your staff gets the "to review" alert.
The bot sometimes restarted on its own when its memory was full, and froze for a few seconds now and then. It no longer keeps members who have been idle for a while in memory: they come back as soon as they write or act, and your staff is always tracked.
