Guides: Can 18+ (NSFW) Discord servers use a bump bot?

Can 18+ (NSFW) Discord servers use a bump bot?

4 min read · Updated

The short version

Yes. On OneBump an 18+ server must be marked 18+. Its advert then only goes to servers that chose to receive 18+ adverts and whose bump channel is age-restricted. No other server ever gets it.

  • 18+ adverts only go to servers that asked for them.
  • If a server looks 18+, OneBump marks it and locks the mark.
  • Think that is wrong? Ask for a review. A person decides.

What does 18+ mean here?

18+ means content for adults. OneBump keeps it apart from everything else.

What are the two switches?

1My server is 18+Your advert only goes to servers that chose to receive 18+ adverts.
2Receive 18+ advertsOther servers’ 18+ adverts may arrive in your bump channel. It must be age-restricted in Discord.
The two 18+ switches, as the website shows them. Both are off unless you turn them on.
  1. My server is 18+. Turn this on if your server is for adults only. Your advert then only goes to servers that chose to receive 18+ adverts.
  2. Receive 18+ adverts. Turn this on only if every member is an adult and your community wants them. It only works while your bump channel is an age-restricted channel.

Where are they?

You need the permission in that server. Owners and administrators have it.

  • In Discord: type /settings in your server. A menu called “OneBump settings” opens. Only you can see it. Press 18+. There the first switch is the button Mark this server 18+, and the second is the button Receive 18+ adverts.
  • On the website: log in, press your server, then press the Settings tab. Press the Channel step. Change a switch and press Save changes.

🔞 18+ settings

Is this server for adults only? Then mark it 18+. Its advert will only go to servers that asked for 18+ adverts.

Want 18+ adverts here? Only if every member is an adult. Your bump channel must be age-restricted (members under 18 can’t open it).

This server is 18+ · No

Receive 18+ adverts · No

If OneBump’s safety check finds adult content in a server that is not marked, it marks the server 18+ and locks the mark. Only OneBump can remove the lock.

The 18+ screen in Discord for an ordinary server. Both lines say No.

How do I make my bump channel age-restricted?

Only do this if every member is an adult and you turned on “Receive 18+ adverts”. In any other server it hides the adverts from members under 18. Bumping still works, and OneBump tells an admin about it after a bump.

On a computer

  1. Right-click your bump channel.
  2. Click Edit Channel.
  3. On Overview, turn on Age-Restricted Channel. Press Save Changes.

On a phone

  1. Press and hold your bump channel.
  2. Tap Edit Channel.
  3. Turn on Age-Restricted Channel and save.

How does the automatic check work?

Not everyone turns the switch on honestly, so OneBump checks for itself. It reads what your server shows in public: its name and description, channel names and topics, role names, how many channels are age-restricted, and your advert.

Each sign adds to a score. A few weak signs do nothing. Then one of three things can happen.

What an admin seesWhat it meansWhat to do
A question on the 18+ screenOneBump thinks your server might be for adults only, and asks.Press Yes, mark it 18+ or No, it’s not.
“This server is now marked 18+”The signs are strong. Your server is marked 18+ and the mark is locked. Your advert still goes out, to servers that asked for 18+ adverts.If it is wrong, change what the check found. Then ask for a review.
“Your advert is paused for a check”A OneBump moderator has to look before your server can bump again. Nothing has been decided.Wait, or ask for a review and say what they should know.

OneBump does not post what it decided where every member can read it. Your server gets a message called “A message for this server’s admins”, with a Read it button. When someone with the Manage Server permission presses it, the news opens for them alone. Anyone else is told “Only admins can read this”.

🔒 This server is now marked 18+

OneBump’s safety check found signs of adult content:

Your description mentions adult content.

Several of your channel names or topics suggest adult content.

Your advert now only goes to servers that asked for 18+ adverts.

You can’t switch this off yourself. Only OneBump can remove the lock. Change what the check found, then ask for a review.

Ask for a reviewHow the 18+ check works

Only you can see this

What an admin reads behind Read it when the server is marked 18+ and locked. The two lines in the middle are the reasons, in plain words.

OneBump gives reasons such as “Your description mentions adult content.” or “Several of your channel names or topics suggest adult content.” It never shows a score.

What is the 18+ lock?

The 18+ lock means you cannot remove the 18+ mark yourself. Only OneBump can remove the lock. Your server can still bump: its advert goes to servers that asked for 18+ adverts.

How do I ask for a review?

  • In Discord: press Ask for a review on that message, or on the 18+ screen in /settings.
  • On the website: open your server. The notice at the top of the Overview tab has an Ask for a review button. Write what we should know and press Send to a moderator.

Say why your server is not 18+, and what you changed. A moderator looks at your server and either removes the lock or tells you why it stays. Read where your server stands and how reviews work.

What is never allowed?

Heads up

Sexual content involving anyone under 18 is never “18+”. It is banned. The server is removed from OneBump and reported to Discord.

What can go wrong?

  • No 18+ adverts arrive. Your bump channel is not age-restricted. OneBump says so on the 18+ screen.
  • “This can’t be switched off here”. Your server is locked as 18+. Ask for a review.
  • “A note about your bump channel”. OneBump tells an admin this after a bump when the bump channel is age-restricted but the server has not asked for 18+ adverts. Members under 18 cannot see the adverts. Bumping still works.

Quick answers

Can adult servers use a bump bot?

Yes. On OneBump an adult server must be marked 18+, and its advert only reaches servers that chose to receive 18+ adverts in an age-restricted channel.

Why is my server locked as 18+?

OneBump’s automatic check found strong signs of adult content, such as channel names or topics. You can ask for a review and a moderator will look.

What does OneBump look at to decide?

Things your server shows in public, such as server and channel names, topics, role names and your advert.

Your next step

Check both switches for your server. They are off unless you turned them on.
