Tips That Save You Time

- Check the trust score of any member before taking action
- Log every admin move to a private log channel for transparency
- Tell your members what commands exist so they can self serve
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Setting rules too strict and driving away good members
- Forgetting to enable captcha, which lets spam bots flood in
