Managing who gets access to your Discord community can be tricky. With membership screening Discord features, you ensure new members agree to your rules before engaging. Pair that with the MemberPress Discord Pro add-on, and you’ll take community safety, automation, and monetization to the next level.
What is Rules Screening?
Rules Screening is Discord’s built-in method of requiring members to agree to your community rules before they can chat, react, or DM. This adds a layer of protection and professionalism to your server.
But when combined with MemberPress Discord Pro, you’re not just screening — you’re also automating access, assigning roles, and building a paid membership community.
