Scam and raid tooling mass-creates Discord accounts with auto-generated usernames: two random words plus five digits, like confident_sparrow_44492 or jovial_avocado_88213. Hashbot can recognize and ban these accounts on join — no filters to write, no lists to maintain.
Available to active Subscribers. One toggle, zero upkeep — the detection vocabulary is maintained centrally by the Hashbot team.

​
How It Works

  1. A new member joins (or changes their name) with the generated-name shape: word_word_12345 (also with . separators)
  2. Hashbot checks both words against the same vocabulary the scammers’ name generators use
  3. If both words match, the member is banned automatically — the ban appears in your logs with the reason [built-in] generated scam username
Because both words must come from the generator’s own vocabulary, ordinary names that merely end in digits — like john_smith_12345 — are not flagged. Allowlisted members, managers, and bots are always exempt.

​
Enabling It

1

Open the Dashboard

Go to dashboard.hashbot.com and select your server.
2

Navigate to Text Filters

Click Text Filters in the Hashbot sidebar.
3

Toggle it on

Enable Block auto-generated usernames. That’s it — detection starts immediately.

Why Use It Instead of a Regex?

You could approximate this with a broad regex like ^[a-z]+_[a-z]+_[0-9]{5}$ — but that pattern also matches legitimate users whose names happen to fit the shape. The built-in detector only fires when the words themselves come from scam tooling vocabulary, giving you the coverage without the false positives.

​
Best Practices

  • Pair it with Verification — generated-name bans catch the accounts that scam tooling creates, verification stops the ones it drives
  • Watch your ban logs for the [built-in] generated scam username reason to see it working
  • If you previously added your own broad word_word_12345-style regex filters, you can keep them — the two work side by side
