/dmlock settings

Overview

/dmlock settings opens an interactive dashboard for locking direct messages between members, using Discord's built-in server incident feature. Useful when a raid or scam wave is spreading through DMs.

Required Permissions

• Manage Server

Subcommands

settings

No options. Running the command opens a dashboard with Lock and Unlock controls.

Dashboard settings

The dashboard has four controls:

• Lock now: locks DMs immediately for the selected duration.
• Unlock now: removes the lock immediately.
• Duration: choose 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours (default), 7 days, or forever, or enter a custom duration.
• Auto re-lock: when on (default), BetterAntiSpam automatically restores the lock if Discord's own incident window expires before you manually unlock it.

Behavior

• Locking and unlocking apply through Discord's native server incident system, the same mechanism behind the "DM lockdown" option in Discord's own security settings.
