What is a Honeypot Channel?

A Honeypot Channel is a trap channel used by RamBot Automod to catch spam bots and malicious accounts.

Real members should not post there. If a bot or scam account does, Ram Bot can automatically punish them based on your server settings — for example banning the account.

Why randomize the channel name?

Honeybot can rename the honeypot on a weekly or monthly schedule. Random innocent-looking names make it harder for raid bots to skip a channel they have blocklisted.

Channel ID rotation

You can also recreate the channel with a new ID so bots cannot rely on a saved channel ID. Use the dashboard controls on the AutoMod → Honeybot section when your server is ready for a fresh trap channel.

Setup checklist

Enable the Ram AutoMod plugin on your server.
Open AutoMod → Honeybot and create or pick a honeypot channel.
Hide the channel from @everyone — only Ram Bot needs to see it.
Choose an action (ban recommended for raid bots) and optional alert channel.
Turn on name rotation if your server is frequently targeted.

Tip: Link staff to this guide from your mod handbook. The honeypot only works when members know not to post in it.
