# Discord Communities are Getting a Safety Buff 🦺

Today, we're rolling out three new features that will help you keep your communities safe from DM spam and raids: Activity Alerts, Security Actions, and a revamped Members page.

## Activity Alerts and Security Actions
Activity Alerts will notify you of abnormal server behavior, particularly massive raids or unusual DM activity. From there, your team can investigate further and take further action to protect your community as necessary. If it doesn’t seem like an issue, you can easily mark it as safe.

Security Actions allow swift server lockdowns by surfacing useful tools quicker, helping halt new member joins or aiding in closing off DMs between non-friend community members. Current Security Actions include:
- Pause Invites: Stop new members from using any invites to join the server. Experienced moderators may know this one already, and now it’s more easily accessible.
- Pause DMs: Temporarily stops new DMs from being sent between members in the server. This excludes friends DMing each other, when moderators DM server members, or DMs from Apps.

## Members Page
Previously tucked away in Server Settings, the Members page is used to find specific members, display members with a specific role, and even help you prune inactive members.

Now, the Members page is in a more easily-accessible spot above your server’s channel list. And it’s been reimagined, letting you view your members in a more organized manner. It now displays relevant safety information about your members:
- Join Date: See when they joined your server.
- Invite Link: See which invite link they used to join your server.
- Account Age: See if they’ve been on Discord for a while or are a new user.
- Signals: Appears if someone may have been engaging in unusual DM Activity, or flags a member you’ve timed out. Use this to easily filter and find members who might require additional action or review. Over time, we plan on surfacing additional relevant Signals.

All of these new features work in tandem to provide mods with the helpful information and actions needed to help squash DM spam and thwart raids. We’re committed to improving safety on Discord by empowering and equipping mods with more tools to help protect your servers from harmful disruptions. It’s a never-ending journey, so stay tuned—the best is yet to come!
