Head to head
vs
Wick vs Double Counter
Two security apps with different theories of the problem: one hardens the whole server, the other filters who gets in.

Best choice by job
| Job | Why |
|---|---|
| Stop a compromised moderator destroying the server | Wick documents anti-nuke protection. Equivalent protection in Double Counter is not established. |
| Block alt accounts at the door | Double Counter documents alt-account and VPN detection. Equivalent detection in Wick is not established. |
| Cover members who are already in the server | Double Counter's own documentation states it is not retroactive: it evaluates only members who join after installation. |
| Automod and ongoing moderation | Automod, moderation commands and timed punishments are established Wick capabilities. |
| Verification gate on join | Both cover a verification gate with a captcha step. |

Our reading of the pair
Editorial judgment, not an observation
Wick documents anti-nuke and moderation; Double Counter documents alt and VPN checks on join. These records do not establish that either has universally broader coverage. Both published install requests include Administrator.
