Abuse Management

our matrix instance has a moderation tool mjolnir.
!!! info you are welcome to join #abuse:envs.net to report people for inappropriate behavior.

to protect your own room from known spammers and evil accounts:

• invite @mjolnir:envs.net and give the user admin Permissions.

  !!! tip if you do not want to give @mjolnir:envs.net admin rights then you need to change the room permission Change Server ACL to Moderator. With this setting, @mjolnir:envs.net only needs moderator permissions.

• the abuse moderators then receive the invitation and needs to confirm it.

after this step, the room is protected.

additional enabled Protections

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) and then activate in settings -> labs -> Try out new ways to ignore people.
