# QMod Overview: Quarky's Discord Moderation Features

> QMod is Quarky's moderation suite covering AutoMod content filtering, comprehensive event logging, and fine-grained staff permission controls per role.

QMod is Quarky's built-in moderation suite, designed to give server admins more control than Discord's native tools offer. It lets you automatically filter problematic messages before anyone sees them, log every moderation action to a dedicated channel, and limit exactly which staff members can use which mod commands — and how many times.

## What's included

QMod is made up of two main systems that work independently or together:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="AutoMod" icon="robot" href="/moderation/automod">
    Automatically filter messages for excessive mentions, links, sensitive info, Discord invites, and more. Filtered messages are blocked before they appear in any channel.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Staff Permissions" icon="user-shield" href="/moderation/staff-permissions">
    Grant specific roles the ability to mute, kick, or ban — with caps on how many times they can act, optional password protection, and full logging.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Key capabilities

* **Pre-send filtering** — AutoMod blocks rule-violating messages before they're ever posted, so no one sees them.
* **12 rule types** — Cover mentions, links, email and IP addresses, Discord invites, word length, non-English characters, and more.
* **Granular staff limits** — Set a maximum number of mutes, kicks, or bans per staff member and reset the counter on any schedule.
* **Password-protected actions** — Require staff to enter a password before executing a mod action for an extra layer of accountability.
* **Comprehensive logging** — Every AutoMod trigger and staff action gets sent to a channel you choose, keeping a transparent audit trail.
* **Up to 25 rules** — Both AutoMod and staff permission rules support up to 25 entries each on the Premium Tier.

<Note>
  All QMod commands require server admin permissions by default. To let staff members with specific roles use `/mod` commands, adjust Discord's slash command permissions — see the [Role-Based Permissions](/user/getting-started/role-based-permissions) guide.
