How to set up automod on Discord (step by step)
To set up automod on Discord, open your automod bot's config (?automod config with Rage), turn on the spam, link, invite, scam and mention rules, add staff roles and media channels to the ignore list, test the rules with a sample message, and turn on automatic lockdown for spam waves.
1. Pick the rules
Start with the rules almost every server wants: spam, scam links, mass mentions and invites. Add links and caps rules if your community needs them.
2. Exclude the right places
Media and partner channels may need links; staff should never be caught. ?automod ignore add #media and ?automod ignore add @Staff.
3. Test it
?automod test check out discord.gift/abc shows what would happen to that message, without deleting anything.
4. Prepare for spam waves
?automod lockdown on --channels 3 --members 5 locks every channel when spam hits 3 channels from 5 members at once. Pair it with antiraid for join floods.
Questions
Should I use Discord's AutoMod or a bot?
Both: Discord's AutoMod is great for keyword filters, and a bot adds scam lists, spam detection, punishments and lockdowns.
