Automod and security
Rules that read every message, gates that check every join, and alarms for the rare day a staff account goes rogue.
Every catch lands in your mod log
Automod writes a case for each message it removes, with the rule, the reason and what it did. Repeat offenders escalate without anyone stepping in.
- Each rule says what it caught, in the member’s own words or links.
- A second strike inside the window escalates on its own, from a warning to a mute.
- Every hit is a case in the member’s history, so your mods see the pattern.
Stop spam, raids and scams before your mods wake up.
- Automod rules
- Caps, bad words, invites, links, phishing, mass mentions, emoji spam, zalgo, duplicates and more.
