# Bot Purges

{% hint style="info" %}
**Premium Feature** — Bot purging requires a Premium subscription. [Compare plans →](/daxeon-knowledge-hub/plans-and-pricing/plans-and-pricing.md)
{% endhint %}

Bot Purges help protect your server by automatically removing unverified users. These accounts are often the first step in bot raids, mass DM scams, or token spam. Purges run on a scheduled cycle and target users who have not been assigned any roles, helping you maintain a safer server and a more accurate member list.

***

### How It Works

* **Auto-Removal**: Kicks members with no roles every 30 minutes to eliminate unverified bots.
* **Grace Period**: Members who joined within the last 5 minutes are excluded to give time for verification.
* **Bans Known Scammers**: Members listed in the Daxeon scammer list are banned during the same scheduled run.

***

### Enable Automatic Purges

To turn on autopurge:

```
/purge enable
```

Daxeon will show a confirmation prompt. Click **Confirm** to turn autopurge on, or **Cancel** to leave it off. Once enabled, autopurge will immediately begin checking for unverified members and known scammers every 30 minutes.

To turn it off again:

```
/purge disable
```

To check the current state at any time:

```
/purge view
```

`/purge view` is available on all tiers; free-tier servers see an upgrade prompt explaining how to get autopurge.

You can also control whether purge notifications are posted to your log channel via `/settings chat_alerts`.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Before enabling:** Make sure the majority of your active members already have roles. If not, set up a verification system and encourage users to verify first.
{% endhint %}

***

### Run a Manual Purge

You can also run purges on-demand at any time, whether or not autopurge is enabled:

```
/purge run
```

***

### Before You Purge

* **Check for unverified members**: Make sure you don’t have legitimate users without roles.
* **Use verification**: Set up a role-based system to ensure legitimate users are verified before enabling purges.
* **Communicate with mods**: Notify your team before enabling to avoid confusion.

***

### Best Practices

* **Enable purges after your verification flow is live**
* **Manually run a purge** after a raid or bot wave
* **Monitor purges** using the log channel
