Auto-Moderation
Filter messages, protect staff from unwanted mentions, and act on repeated infractions.
Free
Filter messages, protect staff from unwanted mentions, and act on repeated infractions.
Install Auto-Moderation from your bot’s Modules tab. Configure the settings below, save, and deploy the bot to apply changes. See module setup for shared setup steps.
Set up and use
Enter comma-separated Blocked terms, choose Infractions before action, and select timeout, ban, or warnings only. A timeout lasts ten minutes. Start with terms you can test in a private channel.
Enable Protect staff from pings to protect the server owner, members with Administrator permission, and an optional Protected staff role. The role mention itself is protected too. Block known scam images checks known scam-image variants. For broader image review, see AI Image Moderation.
Adjust AutoMod Infractions node
Select a member, an amount, and a reason. Positive amounts add infractions; negative amounts remove them, down to zero. Reaching the threshold can apply your configured action. Use {store:automod_infractions} for the resulting count. This count is separate from the Warning System.
The node appears for bots with Auto-Moderation installed and enabled. Place moderation commands behind an appropriate command permission requirement.
