FAQ
Answers to common questions about oculus
What is oculus?
oculus is a free, security first Discord bot. It stops raids, nukes and rogue staff with anti-nuke, anti-raid, verification and fake permissions, and also does moderation, music, levels, tickets, logging, social feeds and more. Add it from oculus.rocks.
Is oculus free?
Yes. Every security, moderation and music feature is free. We may add optional extras later, but protection will never be paywalled.
How do I add oculus to my server?
Press Invite to Discord, pick your server and keep the Administrator permission it asks for. Then run ,h to see what oculus can do.
Where can I get help?
Join the oculus community and support server at discord.gg/gebEZfhqUs, or run ,support in Discord.
What is the prefix?
The default prefix is , so ,ban works like /ban. Change it in the dashboard under Settings.
What are fake permissions?
You remove dangerous Discord permissions like ban or manage roles from your staff roles, then give those powers back inside oculus. Staff can still moderate through oculus, but a stolen account or a script cannot mass ban through Discord directly.
How fast does anti-nuke react?
Oculus watches the audit log in real time. Once someone crosses a limit you set, it freezes them in oculus, removes their dangerous roles or bans them, and tells the owner. It is measured in seconds, not minutes.
Why does oculus need to be at the top of the role list?
Discord only lets a bot act on members below its own highest role. If oculus sits under an attacker, it cannot stop them. Anti-nuke checks this and warns you.
Can oculus guarantee my server is safe?
No bot can promise that. Oculus closes the common holes and reacts fast, but you still decide who gets owner level access.
Which links can I play?
Search by name, or paste links from YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, Deezer and more. Links from Spotify and similar apps are matched to a playable source.
Why did music stop but moderation still works?
Music runs on its own node. If it restarts, security and moderation keep running. Music is usually back within a minute.
What data does oculus keep?
Only what features need: IDs, your server settings and moderation records. See the privacy policy for the full list and how long each is kept.
How do I delete my data?
Email [email protected]. It is done within 14 days.
