Anti-nuke watches audit-style patterns: rapid channel or role deletion, or many bans in a burst. Sift can strip dangerous permissions or timeout the actor even when Discord would allow the action.
Trusted roles
Allowlist roles that should never trigger anti-nuke during legitimate recovery — e.g. your head mod during a coordinated cleanup.
Mass message deletes
Bulk purges by non-owners are logged as suspicious for review. Owner deletes are expected during channel resets.
Networks
On Sift Max, a burst of bans or kicks is not copied across the network in case an admin account was stolen — see Server networks.
