Automod

Automod watches every message and acts before humans need to. Configure each rule independently:

/automod spam-messages     # block message flooding
/automod flagged-words     # block profanity and slurs
/automod mention-spam      # block mass mentions
/automod keyword           # block your own custom word
/automod anti-link         # block all links
/automod spam-settings     # tune the flood thresholds

Rule details

Spam messages

Default: more than 5 messages in 5 seconds triggers a punishment. Tune with /automod spam-settings (messages, time window, timeout duration).

Flagged words

Built-in profanity and slur detection. Zero configuration — enable it and it works. False positives are rare but possible with unusual languages; add server-specific terms with /automod keyword instead.

Mention spam

Blocks messages that ping more than N users (/automod mention-spam, default 5). Protects against ping-spike raids.

Keyword filter

Your own list: /automod keyword word:<term>. Use for slurs specific to your community, invite links to rival servers, scam phrases, etc.

Anti-link

Removes any message containing a URL unless the sender is a moderator.

Recommended ladder

For most communities:

1. First offence → automatic timeout (set duration per rule)
2. Repeat offences → escalate manually via /warn and /timeout
3. Raid patterns → Verification + lockdown

Punishments from automod appear in the modlog exactly like staff actions, so your team always has the full picture.
