# Abuse Management

our matrix instance has a moderation tool [mjolnir](https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir).  
to protect your own room from known spammers and evil accounts, you can simply give [@mjolnir:envs.net](https://matrix.to/#/@mjolnir:envs.net)  
an invite and admin Permissions in the room.  
the abuse moderators then receive the invitation and have to confirm it.  
after this step, the room is protected.

you are welcome to join [#abuse:envs.net](https://matrix.to/#/#abuse:envs.net) to report known spammers and evil peoples.

***notice:***

you can also subscribe to our banlist to ignore the banned users even in unprotected rooms.

.. to do this, you need to allow the `showLabsSettings` feature in your element config ([see sample config](https://element.envs.net/config.json))
and then activate in `settings` -> `labs` -> `Try out new ways to ignore people`.

in the last step you need to subscribe our banlist: [#envs-ban-list:envs.net](https://matrix.to/#/#envs-ban-list:envs.net) (`!UyrSHIwWgbGsHjabGe:envs.net`)
under `settings` -> `ignored users`.
