Use a lockdown when a raid or a spam wave is happening right now and everyone has to stop writing at once. One command closes the server for everyone but the staff; ending it, by hand or after the minutes you chose, gives every channel back its own permissions.

​
What it does

A lockdown, while it is on:
  • closes the text channels so nobody can write, react or start threads (everyone, not the staff)
  • deletes the invites and blocks new ones
  • can raise the verification level of the server to High
When it ends, every channel goes back exactly as it was (a channel that allowed writing allows it again, one that denied it still denies it), the invites are free again and the verification returns to what it was.
Needs Administrator. !raidmode and !raidstate are aliases of !lockdown. !lock is a different command: it only locks the channel you are in (see Channel). With no channels chosen, it closes every text channel. It can end by itself after the minutes you choose (a job checks every minute), and it posts a notice in the channel you pick.

Anti Raid can start it

In !automod raid (and in the dashboard, Anti-raid & nuke), set the action to lockdown. When a burst of joins is detected, the lockdown starts by itself. The anti-nuke’s panic mode can start it too, when several protections act within a few minutes. The dashboard has a Lockdown tab with the state, Start and End buttons and what it does.

Dashboard → Moderation → Anti-raid & nuke → Lockdown: start it and choose what it does.
