VoidBox

Free forever

VoidBox is a Discord bot made by one person, Boombox, in Ukraine. Levels, economy, moderation and tickets cost nothing, and always will.

People got used to paying for the basics: levels, a welcome message, a ticket button. That was never the expensive part.

Is it free?

Pick any feature a Discord server needs. MEE6 is the most-installed bot, so it is the one to compare with. Its own help pages list what its free plan includes.

  • XP for chatting and voice, rank cards, leaderboards and role rewards when members level up. Free on every server.

  • Warnings, timeouts, bans, anti-raid, invite and spam filters, and a scam filter that removes phishing links and scam screenshots by itself.

  • Welcome and goodbye messages with a picture card, and an optional DM for new members.

  • Coins, a daily reward, jobs, a shop, a bank, trading and games to bet on, all with your own currency name.

  • A ticket panel, private ticket channels and a PDF transcript of every ticket when it closes.

  • Members pick their own roles with a reaction or a button.

  • Posts when a YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Reddit, Bluesky or RSS channel you follow puts out something new.

  • Giveaways with a button to enter, and a birthday message on the day. Giveaways that respect sleep: winners get at least 12 hours to claim, and a prize nobody confirms as delivered is flagged. No 90-second claims at 5 AM.

  • The two things MEE6 does give away. VoidBox does too, with your own emoji and board name.

Basics a server needs, behind a paywall

Levels, moderation, welcome messages, economy, tickets, reaction roles, social alerts, giveaways and birthdays: Premium at MEE6, free at VoidBox on every server. VoidBox Premium, $4.99 a month, adds the paid AI and never takes a basic away.

Built from bad days

Free is half of it. The other half is fair: a bot shouldn't let anyone be robbed, or be treated like they don't matter.

The scam

Hacked by a server event

Someone made a Discord event that pointed to a scam invite. A member trusted it, and their account was stolen. Link filters never looked at events, and in many servers everyone could create one.

The same week the scams kept changing shape: QR codes to "claim Nitro", a fee to "unlock" a prize, a moderator in a ticket asking for a password.

  • Every event is checked the moment it's made, and scam ones are removed
  • /analyze flags "everyone can create events" with a one-click fix
  • Scammers are kicked by default, and scams lower a server's health score
  • Giveaways asking for fees, passwords, seed phrases or QR codes are refused, in tickets too
  • Anyone can report a server, screenshots included

The unfairness

90 seconds, at 5 AM

1:30

A giveaway was won while the winner slept. The time to claim it was one minute and thirty seconds. Staff called it a personal choice to sleep.

11:33 to 11:48: the winner asks why there were only 90 seconds to claim at 5 AM; it is about fairness, not the prize.
  • Claim time in VoidBox giveaways is never under 12 hours
  • Winners are told in the channel and by DM, with a Claim button
  • An unclaimed prize goes to someone new, automatically
  • A prize nobody confirms as delivered in 24 hours is flagged on the host's next giveaways

The maker

Boombox

Made VoidBox, alone, in Ukraine

Builds every part of it: the bot, the dashboard, the AI and the arcade. Premium pays for the servers; nobody else is behind it.

The promise

Written down so it can be held to

A feature that is free today stays free. If something has to cost money, it is new and it is extra, never a basic moved behind a paywall.
