Bad-avatar detection checks the display avatar of each new member against a private set of reference avatars chosen by your server managers. It is useful for repeated impersonation, raid branding, and other known images that should be reviewed when a new account joins.
Bad-avatar detection is included with Scrump Pro.
Managing the avatar set requires Manage Server.
This is known-image matching, not a general profile classifier. Scrump only compares against the avatars your server has uploaded.

​
Configure bad-avatar detection

1

Open Security

Sign in at scrumpbot.com, choose your server, open Security, then select Bad-avatar detection.
2

Add reference avatars

Give the avatar an internal label, choose a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF image up to 10 MB, and select Add avatar.
3

Choose confidence

Use Exact matches only, Very high confidence, or High confidence. Very high confidence is the recommended default.
4

Choose an action

Select Alert and archive only, timeout, kick, or ban. Timeout duration can be set from 30 minutes to 30 days and defaults to 1 day.
5

Customize the member message

Preview Scrump’s default message or replace it with a custom plain-text or embed version. Scrump sends it only after a timeout, kick, or ban succeeds.
Each server can save up to 100 avatars. Scrump stores visual matching data, the label, and a small dashboard thumbnail. It discards the original upload after processing.

​
Detection records and permissions

Every match appears in the member’s moderation history and website moderation archive. Scrump also posts the result to the shared moderation log channel configured in the Security dashboard or with /settings moderation set-log-channel. For member actions, place Scrump’s bot role above the members it may moderate. If the selected punishment cannot be applied, Scrump records an alert-only avatar match rather than claiming that the punishment succeeded.

​
Subscription changes

If the server loses Pro, avatar matching and editing stop immediately. Saved avatars and settings remain visible as read-only data. Restoring Pro resumes matching without requiring the reference avatars to be uploaded again.
