# Beast Mode

> Beast Mode is a global protection system that activates when suspicious activity reaches a critical level, punishing anyone who performs dangerous actions.

## How It Works

Beast Mode uses a global score system:

1. Every dangerous action adds points to your server's current score
2. When the score reaches the configured limit, "the beast wakes up"
3. While active, Beast Mode punishes **anyone** performing dangerous actions
4. The beast calms down after 60 minutes of inactivity or manual intervention

**Key Difference from Anti-Nuke:** Anti-Nuke tracks individual user limits. Beast Mode tracks server-wide activity and punishes everyone when activated.

## Checking Beast Mode Status

### Using the Dashboard

1. Go to [securitybot.gg](https://securitybot.gg/) and log in
2. Select your server from the dashboard
3. Navigate to the **Beast Mode** category

The status indicator shows whether Beast Mode is enabled and if the beast is currently active.

## Enabling Beast Mode

1. Go to [securitybot.gg](https://securitybot.gg/) and log in
2. Select your server from the dashboard
3. Navigate to the **Beast Mode** category
4. Toggle **Beast Mode** to enabled (green)
5. Click **Save**

## Stopping an Active Beast

If the beast has awakened and is punishing users:

1. Open the dashboard
2. Go to the **Beast Mode** category
3. Click the **Calm Down** button

The beast will also calm down automatically after **60 minutes** of inactivity.

## Who Is Exempt?

Even when Beast Mode is active, these users are not punished:

| Exempt Users               | Condition                         |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Higher role users          | Role is above Security's role     |
| Server owners              | Always exempt                     |
| Whitelisted users (global) | If **Allow Whitelist** is enabled |
| Whitelisted users (action) | If **Allow Whitelist** is enabled |
| Whitelisted role (global)  | If **Allow Whitelist** is enabled |
| Whitelisted role (action)  | If **Allow Whitelist** is enabled |

> **Important:** The **Allow Whitelist** setting must be enabled for whitelist exemptions to apply during Beast Mode.

## Modifying Settings

1. Go to [securitybot.gg](https://securitybot.gg/) and log in
2. Select your server from the dashboard
3. Navigate to the **Beast Mode** category
4. Adjust your settings:
   * Global score limit
   * Punishment type
   * Allow Whitelist toggle
5. Click **Save**

## When to Use Beast Mode

Beast Mode is ideal for:

* **High-value servers** that need maximum protection
* **Servers under active attack** where you want to lock down all activity
* **Secondary protection layer** alongside Anti-Nuke
