## <mark style="color:$primary;">Block messages quietly.</mark>

If this option is disabled, <mark style="color:purple;">**Bocto**</mark> will block the message considered spam and display the corresponding spam type <mark style="color:$danger;">warning message</mark> visible to everyone in the channel:

If this option is enabled, <mark style="color:purple;">**Bocto**</mark> will block the message considered spam, but won't reveal itself by displaying a <mark style="color:$danger;">warning message</mark>.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">Send logs to admins.</mark>

If this option is enabled, in addition to the <mark style="color:$danger;">warning message</mark> posted in the channel where the spam message is posted, <mark style="color:purple;">**Bocto**</mark> will also post a detailed alert to the <mark style="color:yellow;">**#alerts**</mark> channel it created during the [setup on the server](/getting-started/setup-on-server.md). This option is especially handy if you have enabled the <mark style="color:$success;">Block messages quietly</mark> option.
