# Raiding

### What it looks like:

Several users joining within a small time frame, usually bot accounts or people who join together to troll.

<details>

<summary>Examples</summary>

* 3+ people joining off of the same invite and immediately breaking rules.&#x20;
* Many similarly named accounts.&#x20;
* Many very young accounts (less than 3 days).

</details>

### How to handle it:

If it’s a smaller raid, just ban the users who participated.

If it’s larger (5+ users) and not stopping, immediately ping `@❰ Sr Moderators ❱` and `@❰ Admins ❱`.

**Sr Mods/Admins**: Go to the invites tab and pause all invites. Start banning the raiders. Please make sure you are banning actual raiders and not just a group of friends who joined together with no ill intent.
