Automated actions

Automated actions escalate repeated protection violations, such as warning once and timing out after repeated offenses.

Add an action

1. Open a protection filter.
2. Enable automated actions.
3. Add a threshold, such as 3 violations.
4. Set the time window April should count within.
5. Choose the action April should apply.
6. Add a duration when the action needs one, such as timeout.
7. Save and test carefully.

Available action types

Actions depend on the filter and server permissions, but common outcomes include warning, deleting messages, timeout, kick, or ban.

Configure safely

• Start with warnings or short timeouts.
• Use a clear notification message so members understand what happened.
• Keep staff or bot roles excluded from filters that could interrupt moderation.
• Review protection logs before increasing thresholds or punishment severity.
