Emoji filter

The emoji filter checks messages using the saved settings and can apply your chosen sanctions.

Configure and verify

Sign in, select the server and open Protection and select Edit beside Emoji protection. April needs Kick Members and Ban Members for protection processing, along with permissions for the chosen action. Enable the filter, set its options, review global and filter role/channel permissions, choose Delete and/or Warn, then save. See Protection overview for setup and recovery.

The API default maximum is 10; the Worker fallback is 0. It counts regex-recognized Unicode and custom emoji and matches when count is greater than maximum: 10 at a saved maximum of 10 passes; 11 matches. The recognizer may not cover every emoji sequence.

The local edit form shows settings before saving; the filter was disabled.

In an authorized test channel, try a harmless example on each side of the boundary and inspect the protection log and actual Discord outcome. Saved settings do not prove delivery or deletion. If the filter does not match, check its enabled state, permissions, exclusions and earlier matching filters. For a false positive, disable or adjust the rule and restore content manually if appropriate. Review automated actions before enabling escalation and messages before relying on warnings.
