5 FireFighter settings you should turn on today

If you have just added FireFighter to your server, or you've had it for a while but never set it up properly, these five settings are the best place to start. They take less than five minutes to turn on.

1. Turn on anti-raid

It's the bot's main feature. Type >>antiraid on and FireFighter will start watching for mass joins, spam and mass mentions. If your server is large or public, switch to strict mode with >>antiraid mode strict.

2. Exclude your staff

Your moderation team sometimes sends lots of messages in a row or mentions lots of people. So that anti-raid doesn't mistake it for an attack, exclude them with >>ignore rol @Moderador.

3. Require verification for new members

With >>verificacion configurar @Verificado, everyone who joins receives a code by private message and only gets access to the server after entering it. Automated accounts almost never get past this step.

4. Set up a log channel

Create a private channel for staff and type >>logs #canal. Bans, kicks and deleted or edited messages will be logged there. When something goes wrong, you'll know exactly what happened.

5. Set up a trap channel

With >>honeypot crear you create a channel where nobody should write. Spam bots post in every channel, so they fall into the trap and the bot punishes them automatically.

Extra: if you have a premium plan, make a backup with >>backup create. If someone deletes channels or roles, you'll be able to restore them.
