# Anti-nuke and mass deletes

Stopping channel wipes, role deletes and ban sprees, even from a mod account that's been taken over.

Anti-nuke watches the audit trail for rapid channel or role deletes, or a pile of bans in one burst. When it sees that, Sift can strip dangerous permissions from whoever's doing it, or time them out, even when Discord would let the action through.

## Trusted roles

Allowlist the roles that should never trip anti-nuke during a real recovery. Say, your head mod in the middle of a planned cleanup.

## Rebuild afterwards

Once anti-nuke has stopped someone, press Preview rebuild on the alert, or run /rebuild restore and pick how far back to look. Sift lists the channels, roles, bans and permission changes it can undo, and nothing happens until you press Rebuild. Rebuilt channels get new IDs, and Sift updates its own settings if its log channel was one of them.

Want a role handed back to everyone who had it? Staff roles are covered automatically. Add others, like Verified, with /rebuild roles.

## Mass message deletes

Bulk purges by anyone except the owner get logged as suspicious, for review. Owners clearing a channel is expected.

## Networks

On Sift Max, a sudden burst of bans or kicks isn't copied across the network, in case an admin account got stolen. See Server networks.
