Spoiler filter

The spoiler 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 Spoiler 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 and Worker default maximum is 5 paired || spoiler segments. The filter matches when the count is greater than the maximum: five pairs pass and six match. An unmatched delimiter is not a complete pair.

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.
