Automod that never sleeps
Six rules, three punishments, and the options that stop it getting in your staff's way. Pick a rule to see what it catches.
Bad Words
Keep a blacklist of words the bot should catch and a whitelist for words that look bad but are fine in your server. Both are edited from the dashboard or with the automod commands.
lol you absolute [blacklisted word], get out of my lobby
Removed by Automod: Bad Words
Automod will delete message and warn every time this rule matches.
- Ignore admins
- Ignore bots
- DM the member the reason
- Log every Automod action
- Whitelist words that are fine here
- Blacklist words that are not
Repeat offenders escalate on their own
Set how many warnings or timeouts a member gets before the bot steps in, and what it does when they get there. Try it.
Fires once a member reaches a set number of warnings or timeouts. Add as many rules as you like.
- Warning 1 of 3Issued by a moderator with /warn, or by an Automod rule set to warn.
- Warning 2 of 3Issued by a moderator with /warn, or by an Automod rule set to warn.
- Warning 3 of 3Issued by a moderator with /warn, or by an Automod rule set to warn.
- Auto punishment: Timeout (1h)Member is timed out for 1h. A case is opened, the member is sent a DM, and the log channel gets the entry.
Stack as many rules as you like: three warnings for a timeout, five for a kick, seven for a ban. Warnings from moderators and from Automod both count.
Members hear it from your bot, in your words
The module sends a DM when someone is punished and posts an entry to your log channel. Both use the module's variables, so you write the template once.
{action}The punishment issued{moderator}Who issued it{time}When, as a Discord timestamp{case}The case number{reason}The reason given
Punishment Issued
You received a punishment from our server staff for breaking the server rules. Please revise the rules again, and check the details of your punishment below:
- Punishment:Warning
- Moderator:Jordan
- Time:in 2 minutes
- Case ID:#482
- Reason:Spamming after two automod warnings

Rules the module does not ship, built in the builder
Spam limits, raid handling, reports and appeals differ from server to server, so you build them from blocks. The punishment blocks open cases and log like the built in commands do.
- TriggerMessage sent
Fires on every message in the channels you choose. Bots and staff roles are skipped with a condition.
- ActionAdd one to the member's counter
A custom variable per member that resets after a short window, so the count only ever covers the last few seconds.
- ConditionMore than 6 messages in 10 seconds?
Set the numbers to suit your server. Nothing happens on the other branch.
- ActionDelete, time out for 10 minutes, log it
Purge their recent messages, apply the timeout, and post to the mod log with the reason "Spam". The case shows up in their history like any other.
Add AI moderation in one block
The API Request block ships with templates for the two moderation models most servers use. Paste your key into Secrets once, drop the block into a message event, and put a condition in front of the punishment.
https://api.openai.com/v1/moderations{
"model": "omni-moderation-latest",
"input": "{event_message_content}"
}{ai_check.response.results[0].flagged}true or false, plus a score for each category if you want finer control.
flagged equals trueOnly the true branch reaches the punishment. Everything else falls through untouched.
- 1Message sent
- 2Send it to the model
- 3Flagged?
- 4Delete, warn and log the category
Keys are stored in your bot's Secrets and never appear in a message, a log or a variable. The model returns a value, your condition decides, and the bot acts. Nothing is banned by a model on its own.
How it compares to Discord AutoMod and hosted bots
Discord's built in AutoMod is worth keeping on. A BotGhost bot picks up everything it stops at.
| Feature | Your BotGhost bot | Discord AutoMod | Hosted moderation bots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Runs under your own bot name and avatar | Yes | Built in | No |
| Word, link, invite, caps, emoji and mention filters | Yes | Limited | Yes |
| Warnings with numbered cases and moderator notes | Yes | No | Varies |
| Automatic escalation after a set number of warnings | Yes | No | Varies |
| Temporary bans and temporary roles | Yes | No | Varies |
| Custom punishment DMs and log embeds with variables | Yes | No | Limited |
| Rules you design yourself: spam limits, raids, reports, appeals | Yes | No | No |
| AI harmful content and toxicity checks | Yes | Limited | Varies |
| Cost for everything above | Free | Free | Varies by plan |
Hosted bot features vary by bot and plan. Checked September 2026.

Built on the platform behind millions of bots
Moderation runs on infrastructure that has been hosting Discord bots since 2018.
Set up moderation in six steps
From a fresh bot to warnings, Automod and automatic punishments
Create your bot and invite it
Sign in to BotGhost, create a bot, and invite it to your server with the Moderate Members, Ban Members, Kick Members and Manage Messages permissions.
Enable the Moderation module
Open Modules in the dashboard and switch on Moderation. All of the commands above go live on your bot straight away.
Set moderator roles and a log channel
Choose the roles that can run moderator and admin commands, or leave default permissions on so Manage Messages and Administrator decide. Pick the channel every action is logged to.
Turn on Automod rules
Enable the Automod module, pick the rules you want and the punishment for each. Add a few words to the blacklist and whitelist to start.
Add automatic punishments
In the Moderation module, add a rule such as three warnings leads to a one hour timeout. Add another for five warnings leads to a ban.
Write the DM and test it
Edit the punishment DM if you want your own wording, then run /warn on a test account. Check the DM, the log channel and /user history.
How to make a Discord moderation bot
A short, honest guide to what a moderation bot should handle, what the module gives you, and where the builder takes over.
What a moderation bot should actually do
Moderation has three jobs. React fast when someone breaks a rule, keep a record so the next moderator knows what happened, and take the repetitive decisions off your staff entirely. Most bots do the first job well and the other two badly, which is why the same members keep getting the same first warning from different moderators.
The Moderation module on BotGhost is built around cases. Every ban, kick, timeout and warning is numbered, attached to the member, visible with one command, and counted towards the automatic punishments you set. The bot remembers, so your staff do not have to.
Making one without writing code
Writing a moderation bot by hand means a Discord library, permission handling, a database for cases, a scheduler for temporary bans, and a machine to keep it all running. BotGhost removes all of that. The module is a set of switches in the dashboard, and the bot is hosted for you.
The path from a new server to a moderated one looks like this:
- Create a bot and invite it with moderation permissions.
- Enable the Moderation module and choose your moderator and admin roles.
- Pick a log channel and, if you want, edit the DM members receive.
- Enable Automod and choose the rules and punishments.
- Add automatic punishments for repeat offenders. Done.
Where the builder takes over
The module covers the commands every server needs. The rules that differ from server to server, like how fast is too fast, how new is too new, and what a report should look like, are built in the event builder from the same blocks as everything else on your bot.
Because the punishment actions are blocks too, a rule you build yourself still opens a case, still sends the DM, and still lands in the log. A homemade anti spam rule and the built in warn command leave the same record behind.
Keeping AI in its place
AI moderation works best as a second opinion. Send the message to a model, get back a flag or a score, and put a condition in front of the action. Below the threshold nothing happens, above it the bot deletes and warns, and in the grey zone it posts to a staff channel for a human to decide.
The model reply is just another variable in the flow. It cannot ban anyone on its own, and every decision it influences is still a numbered case a moderator can review and remove.
