Link filter

The link filter controls which URLs members can post.

Configure link protection

1. Open Protection > Link filter.
2. Enable the filter.
3. Choose whether to use a whitelist, blacklist, or both.
4. Add domains without extra tracking paths when possible.
5. Exclude roles or channels that need broader link access.
6. Configure sanctions and notification messages.
7. Save and test a matching URL.

Whitelist

Use the whitelist when only approved domains should be allowed, such as documentation, support, or official community links.

Blacklist

Use the blacklist when most links are allowed but a few domains should be blocked.

Tuning

Do not block every link in help channels unless moderators are ready to handle false positives.
