Crosslink - Link detection and reputation

Crosslink is a smart link detection and reputation service built to make link filtering convenient for moderators and community managers. With convenience at the forefront, configuration on Discord is made to be as simple as possible for the end user. Our reputation system takes third parties into account as well as our own local domain database to keep your community safe!

Adding Crosslink to your Discord server

To add Crosslink to your server, click the image adjacent to this post or click here. This will open a prompt asking you to select a server to add the bot to. We ask for several permissions when you invite the bot; Send messages, Manage messages, Embed links, Add reactions and Use external emojis. All of these permissions are required for the base functionality of the bot.

About inherited Discord permissions

One of the most powerful configuration elements in Crosslink is the 'Inherit Discord permissions' option. This option reads the permissions a user has within any given channel when posting a link, the two permissions this takes into account are the 'Embed links' permission which when disabled deletes any link posted and the 'Attach files' permission which when disabled deletes any link to a file posted.

About scam detection

Crosslinks scam detection compares links sent against known company domains to find potential scam links. For example, a scam link pretending to be Discord.com might be Discrod.com, this would trigger scam detection resulting in deletion of that link. Crosslink scam detection currently has >90% accuracy, and it's constantly vetted to be as accurate as possible.

About Crosslink's anti-virus

Second to link checking is file checking, crosslink boast configuration for several filetypes including media files and subtypes (images, gifs, videos & audio), potentially dangerous files and all other files. If these files aren't already set to be deleted, they're scanned through a local antivirus. Additionally, media files are scanned and checked against known 'crash' media.

Getting started with Crosslink

After inviting Crosslink to your server, any administrator may ping it to get an up to date command list, full documentation is at the top of this page or here. Some settings are detailed above, the rest are explained in the config command! To change settings, simply edit the message you triggered the command with!
