Skip to main content
Quarky’s AutoMod goes beyond Discord’s native content filtering, giving you finer control over what gets blocked and how violations are handled. Rules are evaluated before a message is posted, so filtered content never appears in any channel. You can create up to 25 rules, each with its own type, action, and optional configuration.

​
Set up AutoMod

1
Begin by running /admin-mod auto setup in your server. In the setup panel, select any allowed roles that should be immune to AutoMod rules and choose the log channel where AutoMod alerts will be sent.
2
Click the Rules button in the setup panel. This opens the full AutoMod rule manager, where you can define new rules, edit existing ones, and control their behavior.
3
Click Add to create your first AutoMod rule. You will be prompted to select the rule type and the action that should occur when it is triggered.
4
For this example, choose the Everyone & Here Ping Filter rule type and set the action to a 5-minute timeout. You may choose other actions depending on your moderation needs.
5
To add another AutoMod rule, click Add again. For this second rule, select the Username Mention Restriction rule type to block mentions of specific users.
6
Rules like Username Mention Restriction require additional configuration. Click Config to open a modal where you can enter a comma-separated list of User IDs and optionally provide a custom rule name.
7
After entering the User IDs, you’ll see both rules listed in the panel. You can create up to 25 AutoMod rules of any type with the Premium Tier. Make sure all required values are filled — rule cards turn red when information is missing.

​
Available rules

The following rule types are available when building your AutoMod configuration. Rules marked with a parameter require you to fill in a value via the Config button.

This rule list is updated continuously as new AutoMod features are added to Quarky.

Logging

When AutoMod blocks a message, it sends an alert to the log channel you configured during setup. Each alert includes details about which rule was triggered, the offending content, and the action taken. To change your log channel at any time, re-run /admin-mod auto setup and select a new channel.
Use a private, staff-only channel for AutoMod logs so your moderation activity stays out of view from general members.
