Image detector
NG-3: how it spots scams in images
It's the model that gives the bot a second look. It works with other signals and never decides on its own that someone did something wrong.
- Doesn't keep your images
- Only if you turn it on
- A person reviews submissions
How it works
What happens to an image
It all happens in seconds, in the memory of the machine the bot runs on.
The image arrives
Someone posts it in your server and the bot downloads it from Discord.
It gathers signals
It reads the text, checks phrases and domains, compares it with confirmed scams and looks for bursts of posts.
NG-3 compares it
It turns it into numbers and sees whether it looks more like scams or like normal images, such as memes and real screenshots.
The risk decides
It only deletes when the case is convincing and your server allows it. It leaves a short notice and an alert for moderators.
Scope
What it checks and what it doesn't
It checks
- PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF images up to 8 MB, up to 4 per message.
- The channels the bot can see, only if you turned the detector on.
- In GIFs, up to 4 frames of the animation.
It doesn't check
- Messages from other bots.
- Anyone with Manage Messages or Administrator.
- The people in the image: there is no facial recognition.
Learning
How your reports make it better
If a scam slips through or it deletes something normal, you can send it from the panel. It's voluntary and asks for your consent.
You send it
From Scam detector. PNG, JPG or WebP up to 5 MB.
A person reviews it
The team decides whether it's a scam, normal or rejected.
A fingerprint is made
If approved, a numeric fingerprint is saved in the scam list or the allowed list. That way, next time that image or a very similar one shows up, the bot already recognizes it.
We delete our copy
The copy you sent us is deleted from our system once the fingerprint is made, or right away if rejected. The original image on Discord is not touched.
Your submissions teach the detector: once approved, they become a fingerprint that trains it for next time. They are not shared with anyone.
Privacy
What we do with your data
Normal images aren't kept
Analysis happens on the spot. The image exists in memory for a few seconds and is discarded.
What you send is encrypted
Each image has its own keys and is padded to hide its size. Only the bot and the panel can open it.
Illegal content
If someone sends something illegal, especially involving minors, their access is suspended and law enforcement is notified.
What NG-3 doesn't do
- It doesn't identify the people in an image.
- It guarantees nothing: it can be wrong both ways.
- A similar style isn't enough to delete.
- It can delete without a person stepping in at that moment. You have the right to ask a person to review it.
