What M.A.P. reads, and what it keeps

A bot that watches for scammers has to read things. This page says exactly which things, how long they are kept, and what M.A.P. will not do under any circumstances.

Scanning partly asleep Everything else running

The short version

Right now, scanning is asleep

Since 9 October 2026, the automatic protection has not been running. Discord withdrew two permissions — Server Members and Message Content — because the periodic review window closed without a submission. A bot that asks for a permission it has not been granted does not start in a reduced mode; it refuses to connect at all, so those permissions are switched off in order for M.A.P. to run.

Asleep: message and link scanning, scam-phrase detection, new-member screening, raid detection, rename impersonation alerts, and the passive wallet logging described below.
Still running: nuke prevention via the audit log, invite tracking, ban syncing across the network, and manual link scanning you ask for.

The permissions are not back, and there is no date for them. Discord's self-service request form refuses to take the application at all — it answers “this action cannot be performed because the application is exposed to a high user count”. M.A.P. is now in more servers than Discord will review automatically, so restoring the two permissions has to go through a direct request instead of the form. That request is being prepared. This page will be changed the day it is answered, either way — including if the answer is no.

Whitelisting, and what it actually gates

M.A.P. used to require a server to be whitelisted before it would do anything. That is no longer true, and the site said otherwise for longer than it should have. Here is the current state, read out of the code rather than remembered.

Open to any server

The directory, flex cards, the market views, Radar floors, the Arena, sports lines, the shop, news, member cards and leaderboards — and Shield's link scanning, nuke prevention, invite tracking and ban syncing. Add M.A.P. and they work. No application, no role, no payment.

Holders only

Pro Token Analysis and Wallet Check. A Puffsterz or Vibe Tribe role, re-read from Discord on every single use. There is no payment path to these and no amount held reaches M.A.P. administration.

Verified servers only

Registering a project token, the live token panel, the project price line, and the signal rules members arm on that token. Plus the network threat broadcast, which is pushed into verified servers' alert channels. Verification is free and applied for, never bought.

Blacklisted

A server or account on the blacklist is refused everything, verified or not. That is now the only door M.A.P. closes by default. There are currently no blacklisted servers.

In the code, the whitelist is consulted from exactly four places: token registration, the token panel, the project signal rules, and the Shield threat broadcast. Nothing else asks. If you are told a server has to be whitelisted for anything else, that is out of date.

What it reads

Messages

Checked as they are posted, for links and for known scam phrasing (fake support, seed-phrase requests, "validate your wallet" lures). The text is examined in memory and is not stored. Only the outcome is kept — that a message was flagged, not what it said.

Links

Checked against eight threat intelligence sources plus the age of the domain. New domains are treated with suspicion, because drainer sites usually are new.

Joins

Account age and other risk indicators are scored when someone joins. Join bursts are tracked per invite, which is how a raid is spotted.

Name changes

Compared against staff and known-project identities. Renaming to impersonate support is the most common attack in a Web3 server.

Audit log

Watched for mass destructive actions, so a server being taken apart raises an alarm while it is happening.

Direct messages

Never. M.A.P. does not receive them and could not read them.

Wallet addresses, and why they are recorded

When a wallet address is posted publicly in a channel M.A.P. can see, it is recorded along with the account that posted it, the server and the channel. This happens automatically and without a notification.

The reason is sybil abuse. M.A.P. runs a referral reward programme, and the obvious way to attack one is to run twenty accounts and claim twenty times. Those accounts look unrelated — different names, different join dates — right up until two of them post the same wallet. That shared address is the only reliable thread between them.

Access is restricted to M.A.P. administrators. There is no public view, no member-facing output, and the data is not used for advertising, profiling or resale. It is not sold and not shared with projects.

If you do not want a wallet address linked to your Discord account, do not post it in a channel. That is the whole of the control you have, and it is worth saying plainly rather than burying.

What M.A.P. will never do

Touch your money

No custody, no routing, no cut, no fees. Tips and donations go wallet to wallet and M.A.P. is not in the middle of them.

Sign anything

It never executes a trade, signs a transaction, mints, stakes or claims. The wallet door signs a line of text to prove ownership — not a transaction, no fee, nothing moves.

Ask for a seed phrase

Never, for any reason. Anyone asking for one in the name of M.A.P. is stealing from you.

Add you to servers

M.A.P. does not request the permission that would let it join a server on your behalf.

Read your DMs

Covered above, and worth repeating.

The permission boundary

Two kinds of administrator exist and they are never blurred together.

Server manager

Anyone with Manage Server in their own server. They can set M.A.P. up there: channels, features, switches. That is the whole of it.

M.A.P. administrator

Three hardcoded accounts. Nothing else reaches it — not a server role, not Manage Server, not a wallet, and not any quantity of anything held.

A server administrator gets zero M.A.P. backend access. Running a server in the network is not a credential inside M.A.P., and no combination of roles or holdings turns into one.

Reporting something

If you find a way to get M.A.P. to do something it should not, or you think your data has been handled wrongly, say so and it will be looked at properly.
