Anti-raid

Lock down your community the moment joins, messages or invites spike beyond normal levels.

1

Set the protection level

Choose from OFF, LOW or HIGH in the dashboard. LOW holds brand-new accounts for review; HIGH blocks joins or locks invites entirely until you turn it back down.

2

Define thresholds

Configure how many joins, messages or invites per minute should trigger a raise in protection. Each community has different traffic, so tune thresholds to your normal activity.

3

Automated escalation

Let automod rules raise the anti-raid level when spam or join spam is detected. This gives you hands-free protection during sudden raids.

4

Manual lockdown

Use n!lockdown to instantly restrict a channel or the whole server during an active raid. Configure which roles are affected and which channels stay open for staff communication.

5

Return to normal

Once the raid passes, lower the protection level with one click. Nighthawk will restore normal join and messaging behavior automatically.
