AutoMod: suspected spam

Discord's own spam detection as an AutoMod rule (one per server).

Basic plan automod_rule.spam

In a flow

“When a button is clicked, AutoMod: suspected spam.”

/setup → AutoMod: suspected spam, tell staff in #mod-log.

What it does

Discord's own spam detection as an AutoMod rule (one per server). 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: discord's own spam detection as an AutoMod rule (one per server).

When not to

If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
