- Raid bot69%
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.
- Reaction roles68%
A Discord feature/bot pattern where members self-assign roles by reacting to a message with an emoji. A bot watches the message and adds/removes the matching role. Used for opt-in pings (e.g., game-specific notification roles), color roles, pronoun roles, age/region tags. The most common bot for this is Carl-bot or YAGPDB.

(Internet slang) exposing]] themselves as bots.
- Soundboard60%
A Discord feature (and many third-party bots) that lets users play short audio clips into a voice channel. Used for memes, sound effects, and chaos. Discord's built-in soundboard launched in 2023 and is integrated with Nitro. Soundboard abuse (spamming clips) is one of the most common voice-channel moderation issues.
- Mod mail59%
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.
