Discord AutoMod Rules Template
Discord AutoMod blocks spam, slurs, and mention raids before moderators see them. These text templates describe common rule setups you can recreate in Server Settings or paste into staff docs.
What Discord AutoMod does
AutoMod scans messages against keyword filters, spam heuristics, and mention limits. It can block, timeout, or alert staff automatically.
Rules live per server under Server Settings, AutoMod. Discord hosts the filtering — no extra bot required for basic presets.
Template categories
Templates cover keyword block lists, repeated text spam, mass mention protection, and invite link restrictions.
Each template is guidance text, not a one-click import. Copy the intent, then build matching custom rules in Discord.
Keyword lists
Start with obvious slurs and scam phrases your community already bans manually. Add variants slowly to avoid false positives.
Use separate rules for different actions — block severe terms, flag suspicious links for review.
Mention and spam limits
Cap mentions per message during raids. Pair limits with slowmode in announcement channels during events.
Repeated character spam rules help against copy-paste floods and empty emoji walls.
Staff workflow
Send AutoMod alerts to a private mod channel. Document who adjusts rules when Discord updates presets.
Review blocked messages weekly. Over-tuned filters frustrate legitimate members.
