@ozn1911 nope! we tried that and it was kinda useless against unseen images - our current system is able to detect new images too! blog coming soon

hello! i developed a bot that passively detects and removes all Mr. Beast scam images on Discord.

it’s a bot used in 30,000 servers that has a ~10-step detection sequence to always keep ahead of the scams.

invite it here :] https://t.co/O3K6pHzWD8

@IsaveIme oh lmfao

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@NatiRivers We've tested it against a lot of memes made to look like the scams, we haven't had any be matched :)

@setti i will soon! it will be published on my blog ( https://t.co/qpBfFEeIyk ). I won't be going into full details on the exact detection method, however I will give a vague overview of things we are doing as well as some traps we fell into while designing this.

@RReretor83206 It is not open source because that would make it easier for the scammers to work around. It is also not paywalled. The anti-scam is completely free and always will be, even though it uses the most compute resources out of any of the other 300+ features Scrump offers.

Thanks!

@RBLakshya it will not! it checks the images themselves. (also, this wouldn't work anyway as the scams use between 1-4 images, though most commonly 4)

@ACertainMiku @lxstf1sh there has so far only been one false positive, in which a user took a screenshot of another user who had posted the scam - we deployed an update that stops that from being flagged (as well as all screenshot-related ones). as for completely unrelated images? very very unlikely

@Fuhrbly you would be surprised haha

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@Fuhrbly for art communities- which I run multiple of -this is a non-starter.

@ShoutsRobin that's fair! i'm currently working on a big rewrite of the website at the moment. i'll get this added :)

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@ShoutsRobin A few partnered and verified servers use it, I can tell you of my own partnered server Crunchy - other than that I don't currently track it.

@_hakagie this would be cool, however the UX would be awful & explaining to users to invite one fully-admin bot and then one without perms seems... weird?

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@_hakagie i understand where you are coming from. however giving individual permissions would not really mitigate this as the permissions granted individually pretty much equate to admin. i will take it into consideration though, thanks!

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@IsaveIme the exact algo will be kept gatekept as i don't want to make it easy for the scammers to adapt. that being said, if anyone wishes to have access to my sample set of 100+ example images they can message me :)

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@evernightvoid yeah, admin is just to make setup easier, it does not require admin.

if you only wish to use anti-scam you can use https://t.co/VYoyGRuBlw

if you want to use other features: https://t.co/y38H9Lr2Lr

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@_hakagie here is what the actual permissions would look like: https://t.co/y38H9Lr2Lr

for anti-scam only: https://t.co/VYoyGRuBlw

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@_hakagie you may configure it however you like, it will let you know the specific perms required if you remove admin. since scrump has literally 300+ features, it requires almost every permission, and i believe a singular checkbox for requesting admin is more user-friendly than 50+ boxes

@Biscuit_Designs wtfreak its been 40m and now its nearly 3k

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@Biscuit_Designs in the past 5 minutes it doubled in likes (300->600) 😭 wtfreak

@r0muS1 my issue with honeypot is some bots are adapting to it, simply just finding the honeypot channels and avoiding them (that and sometimes users can't read lol). this detects the images regardless of adaptations and doesn't get innocent users in the crossfire.

[୧ ‧₊˚ abifail ⋅ᰔᩚ @SQNG]

@lxstf1sh this is not using phash. this uses a 10-step detection method that allows it to stay ahead of the scams and adapt in real time
