# Filter Joins {% hint style="info" %} Replace `[prefix]` with your server's prefix. {% endhint %} ## Filter Joins Enable Enabling the join filter will punish members who join in a group. To enable the filter, run the following command: ``` [prefix]filter invites enable ``` Once you run that command, serenity will prompt you with an embed confirming it enabled the join filter.

#### **Already Enabled** If you get a message saying "Mass join protection is already enabled", it means what it says. The filter for mass joining is already enabled in your server. ## Set the Rate You can modify the number of allowed members to join per 5 seconds before triggering the join filter. ``` [prefix]filter joins rate [rate] ``` Once you run that command, serenity will set the new rate of allowed joins and send you a confirmation embed.

## Disable the Join Filter You can disable the join filter by using the following command: ``` [prefix]filter joins disable ``` Running this command will allow members to join at an infinite rate. Once you have ran this command, serenity will send an embed confirming that the join filter has been disabled.
