Every Moderation setting explained
A full reference for the Moderation module. Every settings tab is shown exactly as it appears in the portal, with a plain-English explanation of what each option does.
General
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Moderation enabled | Master switch for all moderation features on this server. |
| Anti-spam | Automatically catch and remove spam, floods and duplicate messages. |
| Log channel | Bans, kicks, warnings and other actions are posted here. |
| Moderator rate limit | Alert if a single moderator takes more than this many actions in 30 seconds (catches a compromised mod). |
Members with any of these roles are exempt from automatic moderation and raid checks.
New members
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| New member restriction role | A role applied to brand-new members for a short time (e.g. a "verifying" role that limits what they can do). |
| Minimum account age | Flag accounts younger than this when they join. Throwaway accounts are a common raid tactic. |
| Action on too-new accounts | What to do when an account below the minimum age joins. |
Spam detection
Fine-tune how aggressively the anti-spam system reacts. Lower = stricter.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Message rate limit | Messages allowed from one member within a few seconds before it's treated as spam. |

Log bans, kicks, joins, leaves, and role and channel changes, with who did it where available.
