Discord Launches AutoMod To Block Dangerous Words

JAKARTA - Discord gives admins the ability to keep their servers secure by launching AutoMod, on June 16th. AutoMod functions to detect and block harmful messages from posting something.

"AutoMod is here to lighten your load, working to keep your community and conversations clean at all times so you can take time to have fun stress-free," Discord wrote in its announcement.

With this feature accessible via the Server Settings menu, admins or moderators create a list of the words they want to search for on Discord.

When launched, AutoMod is equipped with a keyword filter that can automatically detect, block, and warn you of messages containing harmful words or phrases before they are posted in text channels, Threads, and within Text Chats in Voice.

Enabling AutoMod Discord is very easy, just go to Server Settings > Content Moderation on the desktop. AutoMod is only available for Community servers.

In addition to AutoMod, Doscord also announced that they are expanding Premium Membership availability to more US servers this summer.
