# Settings

> Per-project toggles for moderation behavior, bot functionality, and access controls.

Project Settings contains per-project toggles that control what the bot analyses and how it responds. Changes apply to the currently selected project only.

## Bot Enabled

Turns the bot on or off for this project. Takes up to 5 minutes to apply. This is the same control as the master toggle in Schedule.

## Moderation Settings

| Setting                       | What it does                                                                                                                                           |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Sticker Moderation**        | Analyses sticker messages for inappropriate content and removes them if they violate rules                                                             |
| **Animation Moderation**      | Analyses GIFs and animations for inappropriate content                                                                                                 |
| **Image Moderation**          | Uses AI vision to scan photo messages for inappropriate content                                                                                        |
| **Respond to Admins**         | When on, the bot replies to messages from admins and moderators. Turn off to silence chat and FAQ responses for your own team - moderation still runs. |
| **Allow Bot to Ban Directly** | When on, the bot bans users immediately. When off, it mutes and creates a pending ban request for an admin to approve.                                 |

<Tip>
  Start with both **Allow Bot to Ban Directly** and **Respond to Admins** off. Once you've reviewed a few weeks of incidents and you're confident in how the bot handles your community, you can enable direct banning for the threat types you trust it on.

## Functionality Settings

| Setting             | What it does                                                                 |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Basic Chat**      | Allows the bot to reply to greetings, @mentions, and general social messages |
| **FAQ Responses**   | Allows the bot to answer questions using the Knowledge Base                  |
| **Emoji Reactions** | Allows the bot to add emoji reactions to noteworthy messages                 |

Disabling **Basic Chat** and **FAQ Responses** while keeping security rules active puts the bot into a silent moderation mode - it acts on violations but never initiates or joins conversations.
