Slowmode

Keep channels usable during busy periods without punishing normal conversation.

1

Fixed slowmode

Set a static slowmode duration for any channel. Nighthawk applies it automatically and restores the original setting when disabled. Great for channels that need a permanent cooldown.

2

Adaptive slowmode

Let Nighthawk raise slowmode as message rate increases and lower it again when traffic calms down. Set minimum and maximum thresholds in the dashboard so the channel never becomes unusable.

3

Timed auto-delete

Schedule automatic deletion of messages in a channel during events or raids. Useful for temporary channels, Q&A cleanup or announcement channels.

4

Exemptions and overrides

Choose which roles can bypass slowmode and which channels should never have adaptive slowmode applied. Staff channels, for example, can be excluded entirely.
