Discord comes with moderation tool that automatically detects unwanted word use

Discord has introduced a new moderator tool that allows admins and moderators to automatically detect and block written word usage on Discord servers that they have not allowed. The language is intercepted before the messages are posted.

Admins and moderators can manually set up to three word filters through Automod containing written words or phrases that they consider undesirable and do not wish to receive. They can also use an automatic English dictionary from Discord that is regularly updated. Which words are on that list, Discord won’t share though†

It is also possible to link a specific action to the word lists via Automod. For example, the written message can be blocked, the sender of the message can get a temporary time-out or the admin can be informed about the language use. Exceptions can also be set per word list and users are given the option to detect and block variations on unauthorized words.

Automod consists of word filters for now, but Discord says it is working on additional filters that should be able to detect or block other unwanted content in the future. The company did not disclose what that content is. The company reports that the newly introduced filters also work on links and spam. For now, only the Discord servers with a Community server have the option to use Automod.
