Recommended bots and why
Wick recommended
Anti-raid and anti-nuke
Extra protection for public or fast-growing servers: raid detection and limits on destructive admin actions.
Carl-bot recommended
Role menus, logging, tags
Reliable reaction/button role menus for anything Onboarding doesn't cover, detailed mod logs, and saved 'tags' for answers you type every week.
MEE6 optional
Leveling and social alerts
Popular for XP levels and for posting new YouTube/Twitch content; some features require premium, so check its current plans.
Statbot optional
Analytics beyond Server Insights
See which channels and events actually drive activity as the server grows.
Bot features and premium plans change; check each bot's site. Grant only the permissions a bot asks for, never Administrator.
