Auto-moderation
Auto-moderation examines each published message and compares it against a list of forbidden words or phrases defined by the server. On a match, the author receives an automatic warning and the moderation team is notified.
The list belongs to the server: there is no global list imposed on anyone. A gaming server and a professional one do not draw the line in the same place, and each defines its own.
How a match is established
A single-word entry is compared against the message's words taken individually: the term must appear as a whole word, so an innocuous word containing the forbidden sequence does not trigger an alert.
A multi-word entry is searched as a phrase across the whole message, which allows targeting a specific turn of phrase rather than an isolated term.
What happens on a match
- A warning is recorded automatically against the author, with the matched term or terms as its reason.
- A notification is posted in the server's configured moderation channel.
- The warning joins the member's history, readable with *getwarn.
Configuration
The module is enabled in the dashboard, Auto-moderation section, where the list of terms and the destination channel for alerts are set. It is disabled by default: no message is examined until an administrator enables it.
Message content is never kept. Only the forbidden term that triggered the alert — which comes from the server's own list — is stored as the reason of the warning.
