# Strikes & Limits

## What is a "Strike"?

Strikes keep track of how many times a specific member said a blacklisted item.  

Each time a member sends a blacklisted message, they will receive a strike.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Bad Word Blocker will only keep track of strikes if at least one limit exists
{% endhint %}

## Viewing a Member's Strikes

1. Navigate to your Discord server 
2. In any channel, type in `/strikes view` 
3. If you want to view your own strikes, skip the next step
4. If you want to view another member's strikes, select the `member` option and enter the desired member
5. Hit Enter (or the send button if you're on mobile)

## Changing a Member's Strikes

{% hint style="success" %}
Only people with `Manage Messages` or `Administrator` permission can change strikes
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to your Discord server 
2. In any channel, type in `/strikes set` 
3. Enter the member and strikes in the boxes that are shown
4. Hit Enter (or the send button if you're on mobile)

## What is a "Limit"?

Limits put a cap on the amount of strikes a member can receive before something happens.

Example limits:

* If a member gets 1 strike, they get muted for 2 hours
* If a member gets 3 strikes, they get kicked
* If a member gets 5 strikes, they get banned for 1 year

## How to Create a Limit

{% hint style="success" %}
Only people with `Manage Messages` or `Administrator` permission can manage limits
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to your Discord server
2. In any channel, type in `/limits add` 
3. Input boxes should appear:
   1. **Amount:** Enter the amount of strikes that should trigger the `action`
   2. **Action:** Whether the member should be timed out, kicked, banned, or given a role once the `amount` is reached
   3. **Duration (optional):** How long this punishment should last. If left empty, the punishment will never end unless a human manually undoes the action.
4. Hit Enter on your keyboard if on computer, or the send button if you're on mobile
