How to setup and use Polaris

Adding Polaris to Your Discord Server

This guide explains how to add, configure, and complete Discord server linking for the Polaris bot so it can be used with your Discord server and SCP:SL server.

  1. Invite the Polaris bot to your Discord server using the Polaris Bot Invitation Link

  2. Link the bot to your Discord server (Discord server linking):

    • In your SCP:SL server console, run:
      !discord <DiscordServerID>
    • The console will output an Account ID.
    • In your Discord server, run:
      /scpsl-link <AccountID>
    • You can also retrieve the Account ID by using the !id command on your SCP:SL server.
    • The ID can also be viewed on the SCP:SL server web list:
      https://servers.scpslgame.com/

  3. Authorize your SCP staff roles using the /whitelist command.

    • Only members with whitelisted roles are permitted to report cheaters.
    • Ensure staff members only use reporting commands within private staff channels.

  4. Optional (but recommended):
    Create a dedicated Discord channel to receive automated responses from Northwood Studios, such as notifications when a report is accepted or denied.

    Use the command /reportfeedbackchannel set <#channel> to configure where report responses from the Safety & Compliance team will be posted.

Reporting Cheaters with Polaris

Polaris allows authorised staff members to report cheaters directly from Discord once Discord server linking has been completed.

If Polaris is linked to your Discord server, authorised staff roles can submit reports from your own server. If Polaris is not linked, reports must be submitted through the official SCP:SL Discord server. Submitting reports there requires the Server Host role (also commonly referred to as the serverhost role).

To submit a report:

  1. Navigate to a private staff channel in your Discord server.
  2. Type /report and press Enter.
  3. A window titled Report a cheater! will appear.
  4. Enter the player’s SteamID64 in the UserID field.
  5. Provide a direct link to video evidence in the Proof field.
