Change member nickname on join (Discord.js)

so I have a huge problem with people joining my server with a hoisted name "! Name" which puts them at the top of the member's list, and they can advertise their servers. I am trying to change their nickname to something random when they join. I am using discord.js. I think it would be something like "message.member.setNickname" but I could be wrong, if you can help it would be appreciated!

To detect incoming users, you should listen to the guildMemberAdd event, which passes a GuildMember as a parameter. GuildMembers don't have a username property, so you'll have to use GuildMember#user to convert it to a User, and then check User#username.

If the username starts with a !, you can use GuildMember#setNickname to change it.

client.on('guildMemberAdd', (member) => {
 if (member.user.username.startsWith('!')) {
  member.setNickname('...');
  // code...
 }
});

It might also be a good idea to listen to the guildMemberUpdate event to see if a member ever changes their nickname after joining to something you wouldn't want.
