# Attack Mode

**Attack Mode**

Portals and captchas are great at keeping bots out, but what about bots that mimic human behavior? That's where Attack Mode comes in.

Type **/attack** in your group to enable it. Guardian's AI will scan for unusual behavior and, upon detection, will immediately remove and blacklist the user across all current and future Guardian-protected groups.

Sometimes when you check the ban history, it's shocking to see how many have been lurking across groups, waiting to strike. Fortunately, they only get one chance.

The Guardian AI has blacklisted more than 5,000 bad actors to date. Every time an admin uses **/attack**, the whole Guardian ecosystem gets a little safer.
