1. Turn AutoMod on
Open the AutoMod section in Server Settings (in some versions Discord shows it under Safety Setup). Pick the ready rules you want to turn on; you can turn each rule on and off separately.
GUIDE · AUTOMOD
Discord AutoMod kurulumu
AutoMod is Discord's built-in filter for servers: a message is blocked before it's even sent, and it works even if your bot is offline. But the number of rules is limited and it struggles to catch spelling tricks on its own. The best results come from using both together.
- 🚫 Blocked before sending
- 📛 Banned words
- 📣 Mention spam
- 🔕 Exempt roles and channels
- 🤝 Together with Groyt
2. Pick the filters
- Commonly flagged words: Discord's ready-made profanity and slur lists.
- Custom words: your own list; writing
*word*catches every message it appears in. - Suspected spam: messages that look like spam patterns.
- Mention spam: pinging too many people or roles in one message.
3. Eylem ve muafiyet
Pick what happens for each rule: block the message, send an alert to a staff channel, time out the member. Exempt staff roles and some channels if needed; otherwise even moderators can't send their own announcements.
4. Fill the gaps with Groyt
Groyt's profanity, ad, spam and caps filters catch spelling tricks (repeated letters, dots in between), keep separate exempt roles and channels for each filter and log every action. If you like, it also copies your banned word list to Discord's AutoMod, so words stay blocked even while Groyt is offline.
FAQ
Do I still need a bot when there's AutoMod?
AutoMod is fast and always on, but its rule count is limited and it struggles to catch slang on its own. A bot is still needed for logs, penalty points and link and ad details.
What are AutoMod's limits?
Discord limits the number of rules and words and changes these limits from time to time. See Discord's AutoMod help page for the current numbers.
Will Groyt break my AutoMod rules?
No. Groyt only updates the rule it created itself; it doesn't touch rules you set up by hand.
