Honeypot
Honeypot watches one restricted Discord channel and automatically acts on members who send a message there. It can delete the trigger message, notify the member, apply a punishment, and send a detailed incident log.

When To Use It
Use Honeypot as a tripwire for compromised or automated scam accounts. The channel warning tells legitimate members not to post, while any message sent there can trigger the action you configured.
Test the selected action with a disposable member account before enabling it in a live server. Role hierarchy and missing permissions can prevent Discord or Athena moderation actions from being applied.
