AutoMod: mention limit
An AutoMod rule that stops messages pinging too many people and roles at once.
automod_rule.mentions
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, AutoMod: mention limit.”
/setup → AutoMod: mention limit 5 → time out 10 minutes.
What it does
An AutoMod rule that stops messages pinging too many people and roles at once. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Protection in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep the server safe: an AutoMod rule that stops messages pinging too many people and roles at once.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
