AutoMod filter

The AutoMod filter module in AscensionBot — what it does and how to configure it.

A customizable message-content filter that guards against banned words, regex patterns, invite links, arbitrary URLs, and excessive caps. The link filter comes with a domain whitelist, so it never flags your own server invites or trusted sites. Punishments don't live in a separate system — they flow into the same warn escalation as manual moderation, keeping enforcement consistent. It can be turned on and tuned in minutes with a handful of slash commands, no coding required. Every rule can also carry its own escalation ladder, run in a no-punishment dry-run mode while you're still tuning it, catch near-duplicate spam through fuzzy matching, and gate out brand-new accounts with a minimum account-age requirement.
