We use the same honeypot system on my discord server, and man is it good at catching both basic spambots and the most tedious (or mainly inattentive) kind of user. The newest generation of bots try to only post in the more active channels though, so it’s not a perfect solution.
I had similar issues with spam bots. Best defense is both a honeypot channel and cross channel spam prevention within a certain time bracket, about 1.3 seconds to 8.6 seconds is the sweetspot. The lower covers terrible internet and thats why its not 0.0 seconds.
I made my own bot for it actually, had a support subreddit and everything, got banned from there for bullshit. Now you lot have to put up with me.

That’s why you see the channel with your own bot, and then just filter those out

The bot has some experimental setting, one is a setting that will send a message and then delete it once a day

Use the same. Wish it had more customization but it works well enough
