Moderation and safety

Set up AutoMod

AutoMod checks messages as they are sent. It can block content, alert your team, or time out a member when a rule matches.

PathDashboard → Your server → Auto Mod

Choose a rule

Rule	What it watches
Bad Words	Words and phrases you provide.
Spam	Repeated messages and message frequency.
Link Filtering	Links, with an allowed-domain list.
Mention Spam	Too many mentions in one message.
Mass Caps	Excessive uppercase English text.
Discord Invites	Discord server invite links.

Create a safe rule

1. Choose a rule and click Setup.
2. Add keywords, domains, or the mention limit for that rule.
3. Exempt only the roles and channels that need it.
4. Choose Block Message, Send Alert, or Timeout.
5. Select a log channel or timeout duration when required.
6. Save and test in a private channel.

Start with blocking and alerts

Review results for a day before adding Timeout. This catches overly broad words or limits without punishing members.

Rule not running?

• Confirm it is saved.
• Check exempt roles and channels.
• Verify message and timeout permissions.
• Use domains such as youtube.com in the allowed-domain list.
