# What exactly is Lock Bot?

Lock Bot is a server utility, raid prevention, anti-scam and moderation bot including many commands that can help you run and protect your server. Serving over 28,000 servers, you're in great hands! Lock Bot can be used as your first, second or last defensive measure for raids!

Lock Bot has been specifically designed to try to prevent raids as much as possible.

Lock Bot is also able to remove all scam domains sent within your server, keeping your community safer than ever.

Lock Bot is designed to give you a painless experience, quick and easy modules to set up and don't have to worry about again!
