Security

Automod Pro

Advanced rules for raids, suspicious accounts, links, invites, mentions, and spam.

Updated October 21, 20262 min read

Getting started

1

Apply a baseline

Use Balanced, Community, Strict, or Raid Lockdown. Presets add missing rules without deleting existing policies.

2

Choose protection

Detect spam, duplicates, mentions, invites, unapproved domains, caps, emoji, attachments, account age, suspicious names, or join raids.

3

Simulate safely

New custom and restored policies begin in simulation mode. Paste a sample into the simulator before enforcement.

4

Choose an action

Log, delete, warn, timeout, quarantine, kick, or ban. Repeat offenders can escalate automatically.

5

Review incidents

Review recorded cases, mark false positives, and respond to member appeals from the dashboard.

6

Prepare emergencies

Configure an incident channel and quarantine role before enabling Emergency raid mode.

Settings reference

Use this reference when you need to check what a setting does.

Protection type

Spam, duplicate, mention, invite, domain, caps, emoji, attachment, account-age, suspicious-name, or raid detection.

Trigger limit

Count, percentage, or minimum age used by the selected protection.

Window

Seconds during which messages, attachments, or joins are counted.

Action

Log, delete, warn, timeout, quarantine, kick, or ban.

Simulation

Records a match without deleting content or punishing a member.

Exceptions

Ignored channels and exempt roles scoped to one policy.

Escalation

Violation count and hour window used to advance repeat offenders.

Incident channel

Staff-only destination for case number, member, rule, action, and matched reason.

How it works

Here’s what happens once you’ve finished setup.

  1. 1
    Event

    A message or member join reaches Auto Moderation.

  2. 2
    Exceptions

    Administrators, message managers, ignored channels, and exempt roles bypass applicable policies.

  3. 3
    Active policies

    Evaluate safely until the first rule matches.

  4. 4
    Case

    NightCrew records evidence, applies or simulates the action, logs it, and optionally DMs the member.

  5. 5
    Staff

    Resolves the incident or marks a false positive; members can appeal with /automod-appeal.

Example

EXAMPLE
Balanced public community

Apply Balanced, configure #security-log, keep new policies in simulation for 24 hours, then enable progressive discipline after reviewing matches.

Troubleshooting

Raid rule detects normal growth

Increase the join limit or shorten the window.

Quarantine is not applied

Select a quarantine role and place NightCrew above it in Discord.

All links are blocked

Add bare domains such as youtube.com to the policy allowlist.

Too many false positives

Return the policy to simulation, mark incidents as false positives, and tune its limit or exceptions.

Same message gets two actions

Avoid overlapping basic Moderation and Automod Pro rules with identical thresholds.
