Definitions
An automated bot used to flood a Discord server or Twitch chat with messages, often coordinating with multiple alt accounts to overwhelm moderation. Distinct from a Twitch 'raid' (a friendly cross-channel viewer hand-off). Raid bots are universally bannable, and most large servers/Twitch channels run anti-raid bots that auto-ban accounts matching raider patterns.

Semantically related
- Self-bot69%
Running a bot on your own Discord user account (rather than a proper Discord bot account) — automating reactions, message responses, voice-channel joining, etc. Self-botting violates Discord's Terms of Service and can get the account terminated. Common in cheat-engine and 'farming' communities for grinding rewards.
- Raid train65%
A coordinated series of channel raids organised in advance: streamer A ends their stream by raiding streamer B, who later raids streamer C, and so on. Often used by smaller streamers to boost each other's viewership. The 'train' is sometimes scheduled with a hashtag and shared spreadsheet of times.
- annoybot61%
(computing, slang) A bot within an IRC channel that sends annoying messages to online participants.
- Mod mail60%
A Discord bot pattern that lets members DM a bot and have the bot relay messages to the moderation team in a private channel. Solves the problem of mods' DMs being closed or members not knowing who to contact privately. Most mid-to-large servers run ModMail bots; it's a quasi-standard infrastructure for community management.
- botted60%
In gaming slang, botted means a server, lobby, or environment is flooded with bots — automated programs posing as players rather than real humans. A botted lobby is a common complaint in competitive games, where bots skew stats, make farming too easy, or undermine the authenticity of a win. It's also used as a verb: you might "get botted" if someone suspects you're not human, or a leaderboard might be "botted" if top scores are impossibly inflated by cheating scripts.
