Prevents unauthorized bot additions to your group.

Eject User Remove the user who added the unauthorized bot
Admin Notifications Notify admins of bot addition attempts

Raid Protection

Available on PRO tier only

Defend against coordinated mass-join attacks with automatic detection and lockdown.

How It Works

  1. Sentimento monitors the rate of new member joins
  2. When joins exceed the configured threshold, a raid is detected
  3. Automatic lockdown is triggered to prevent further joins
  4. Admins are notified of the raid event
  5. Lockdown lifts automatically after the configured duration

Sensitivity Levels

Level Description
Low Tolerates higher join rates before triggering
Medium Balanced detection for most communities
High Aggressive detection, triggers on smaller join bursts
Custom Configure your own join count and time window

Configuration Options

  • Enable/disable raid protection
  • Set sensitivity level (low, medium, high, custom)
  • Configure custom join thresholds
  • Set lockdown duration
  • Choose raid action (lockdown, notify admins)

Bot Swarm Detection

Available on PRO tier only

Independent from raid protection, bot swarm detection identifies coordinated bot invasions using behavioral analysis.

How It Works

  • Detects patterns consistent with coordinated bot accounts joining simultaneously
  • Analyzes account characteristics (age, profile completeness, naming patterns)
  • Works alongside raid protection for layered defense
  • Triggers configurable actions when a swarm is detected

Configuration Options

  • Enable/disable swarm detection
  • Configure detection sensitivity
  • Set action for detected swarms

Progressive Punishment

Available on PRO tier only

Per-category warning system that escalates punishments for repeat offenders.

How It Works

  3. Subsequent violations escalate to mutes
  4. Continued violations result in bans
  5. Warning counts reset after a configurable timer

Escalation Path

1st offense → Warning
2nd offense → Warning
...
Nth offense → Mute (configurable threshold)
Further offenses → Ban

Configuration Options

Setting Description
Enable Progressive Punishment Turn on per-category tracking
Warning Count Number of warnings before escalation
Mute Duration How long mutes last
Reset Timer Time after which warning counts reset
Per-Category Config Different thresholds per rule category
