AutoMod

Discord’s own AutoMod rules (spam, mention raids, slurs and sexual content, invite links, staff impersonation in names) were created by your server layout and run inside Discord, before a message even appears. This page is the bot’s own layer on top: rules that read every message the bot sees and act on it.

On from the first day: the rules below start without an action, so only the scam check runs until you choose actions. Off means none of them run, scam check included; Discord’s native rules keep running regardless. Changes are a draft until you press Publish.

Ten rules: bad words, repeated text, server invites, external links, excessive caps (70% of the letters), excessive emojis (more than 7), excessive spoilers (more than 5), excessive mentions (more than 5), zalgo text, and anti-spam (more than 5 messages in 5 seconds). Each has an action: do nothing, delete the message, warn, timeout for one hour, kick or ban. The message is deleted for every action; a warning counts toward the Moderation page’s limit. The gear on a rule sets which roles and channels it applies to or leaves alone, and its own settings (the word lists, the limits, the allowed websites). Repeated text means a third message within a minute that is at least 80% the same as two earlier ones. Members with Manage Server or Manage Messages are never checked.

Whenever AutoMod is on, known scam and phishing links are deleted as well, whatever the rules say. Every hit is logged to the moderation log channel of the Logs page and the member gets a short DM naming the rule.

On by default: messages from other bots are not checked, so a music bot’s link or a feed bot’s repeated posts do not trip a rule. Switch it off to hold other bots to the same rules.

Admin, Audit logging and Commands are marked coming soon.
