About MonGuard

The Story

MonGuard started as a personal project. The developer — Schorzen of DungeonStudio — was tired of moderation bots that were either too complicated, too expensive, or just unreliable. Most bots demanded complex setup processes, charged for basic features, or went offline when you needed them most.

So instead of settling, Schorzen built MonGuard from scratch. Every command was designed around one question: "What does a real server admin actually need?" Not bloated features nobody uses. Just solid, reliable moderation tools that work — every time.

What started as a tool for personal servers grew into something the entire Discord community could use. Today MonGuard protects servers of all sizes, completely free — and that will never change.

What MonGuard Stands For

• Built for Real Moderation
  Every feature in MonGuard came from real-world moderation needs. Anti-raid, ban appeals, auto-ban thresholds, mod abuse detection — these aren't gimmicks, they're things actual server admins deal with every day.
• Free. Always.
  Professional moderation should not be locked behind a paywall. MonGuard gives every server — from a 10-member friend group to a 10,000-member community — access to the exact same tools, completely free.
• Reliability Over Everything
  MonGuard runs on stable cloud infrastructure with automatic sharding and Firebase-backed persistence. Your data is safe even when the bot restarts. We see you even in the dark.
• Community First
  MonGuard grows based on what users actually need. Every major feature — anti-raid, the appeal system, role selection — was built because real server admins asked for it. If you have a suggestion, we listen.
• Privacy Respected
  MonGuard only stores what it needs — moderation records, server settings, and nothing more. Your data is never sold, shared, or used for anything other than keeping your server safe.
