🔒 Server Protection — /protection

Enable only the modules your server needs:

• invite, phishing and unsafe-link filtering,
• mass-mention protection,
• anti-raid protection with a new-account filter,
• automatic removal of bot-command messages.

It also supports custom blocked domains and keywords, channel exceptions, a moderation-log channel, adjustable thresholds (/protection limits) and welcome messages (/protection welcome).

⚙️ Getting started

1. Invite the bot and grant the permissions you need: Manage Messages for moderation, Manage Roles for fishing cup roles, and Ban Members/Kick Members for anti-raid protection.
2. Slash commands usually appear within a minute. Start with /info.
3. Set the language through /settings language and enable protection modules with /protection toggle.
