Forbidden words

You can configure some words that will be automatically moderated by the bot (messages containing such words will be instantly deleted). You can also add an optional reason that will be displayed at the place of deleted messages. Several examples are provided on the documentation page.

You can fill several “Forbidden words or expressions” fields. When a user sends a message that match the configured criteria, the message will automatically be deleted.

Forbidden words or expressions

In this field, you can set several words, group of words, or “regular expressions”.

One word or expression per line. If you put multiple words on one line, it will only match messages containing the whole sequence.

Each time a user sends a message, these words will be tested. If the message containes one of them, the message will be deleted.

You can for example fill this field with a swear words list.
