AutoMod v2: A Deep Dive
safetyMarch 26, 20262 min read· by Kaisuki Team
Moderation that scales
Large communities need smart moderation. AutoMod v2 gives owners and moderators a powerful toolkit without needing to babysit chat.
What AutoMod can do
- Regex and keyword blocks with per-word severity levels
- Invite-link filtering — prevent advertisers from hijacking your community
- Slur detection — multilingual, with custom allowlists
- Spam heuristics — catch copy-paste flood attacks and new-account spam
- Auto-timeout ladder — first offense = warning, second = 10-min mute, third = 1-hour mute, etc. All configurable.
- Per-channel overrides — looser rules in
#off-topic, stricter in#announcements - Staff allowlists — moderators and trusted roles can bypass
Getting started
Go to Server Settings → AutoMod and click Enable. The defaults are sensible for most communities. Power users can dive into the rules editor for fine-grained control.
Audit trail
Every AutoMod action is logged to a channel of your choice. You can also review AutoMod stats from Server Settings → Insights.
Stay safe out there.
