Think of these like Discord DDos attacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block Suspect Spam Content<\/strong>: Remove spam content as soon as it\u2019s posted from channels, direct messages, and forums. It won\u2019t stop everything, and it only works for English-speaking spammers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block Commonly Flagged Words<\/strong>: This can <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly to profanity but may help remove spammers who are sending links to unwanted content, offensive server names, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For each of these, you can choose a response (like blocking the message and sending an alert to let moderators or admins know) or create a whitelist of roles or channels in which this rule won\u2019t apply.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-873254\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/automod_rules_discord.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Modify AutoMod rules within Discord\" width=\"730\" height=\"473\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also set up a custom word blacklist using the \u201cCreate\u201d button next to \u201cBlock Custom Words\u201d if you\u2019re noticing that some spam is slipping through the filter and you want to block this language entirely.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_a_Discord_Security_Bot_to_Moderate_for_You\"><\/span>Get a Discord Security Bot to Moderate for You<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/364223\/the-best-discord-bots-to-power-up-your-server\/\">use bots within your Discord server to do a lot of the moderating for you. Some bots are designed with content moderation in mind to combat spam and other unwanted behavior (like raids). You can use a resource like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/top.gg\">Top.gg<\/a> to find bots, or you can use one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wickbot.com\"><strong>Wick<\/strong><\/a>: Designed to combat DDOS-style spam, raids, advertisements, NFSW content, and malicious links, Wick uses a \u201cheat\u201d principle to silence users who break the rules. The bot also monitors for potential server nukes, can introduce user verification, trigger lockdowns, and even monitor moderators and other staff.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/captcha.bot\">Captcha.bot<\/a><\/strong>: Spammers create Discord accounts en-masse so verification is tricky obstacle to overcome. Introduce a simple Captcha for new members, complete with a time limit. You can also use other moderation tools like account flagging and automatic removal of spammy links.<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/securitybot.gg\"><strong>Security Bot<\/strong><\/a>: Primarily aimed at raiders and nukers, Security Bot can also deal with spammers by detecting problematic behavior like users adding bots, deleting or creating new channels, updating and awarding so-called \u201cdangerous\u201d roles, excessive mentions, or excessive kicks and bans. There\u2019s also a built-in verification system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These bots can be used in conjunction with (and sometimes instead of) a team of moderators.
