Automod and Anti-Raid

Automod and anti-raid keep a server safe while nobody is watching. Asbern writes its rules into Discord's own AutoMod, so Discord enforces them, and the moderation module never reads what members write.

How it Works

Everything is under /menu › Other › Admin › Moderation › AutoMod, over two pages. Asbern works with Discord's own AutoMod, not beside it: these controls create and switch real Discord AutoMod rules, and they read back what Discord holds — so what this screen says is what Discord enforces. Discord checks each message itself, as it is sent. Rules you made yourself in Server Settings › AutoMod are counted and never edited, paused or doubled.

• AutoMod — the master switch, for every channel at once. Off pauses the rules Asbern made in Discord AutoMod and stops anti-raid; On — or switching on Rules, Scam links or Anti-raid, which turn AutoMod on too — switches the same ones back on.
• Rules — Discord AutoMod rules for slurs, cuss words, sexual content, spam, mention pile-ons and invite links: Discord's own word lists for slurs, profanity and sexual content (all three share one Discord rule), its spam filter, mention spam (six mentions to start with) and Discord invite links. A rule that blocks every link except the domains you list is there too, only if you ask for it by name. Off pauses them; nothing is deleted.
• Verify level — Discord's own new-member verification (Server Settings › Safety Setup): what a new member needs before they can talk — a verified email, an account older than five minutes, ten minutes in the server, or a verified phone. It is the same setting, read and written here. A Community server needs at least a verified email, so Off is not offered there.

You choose one consequence for the rules: tell staff and leave the message up (recommended), block it, block it and tell staff, or block it and time the member out (ten minutes unless you change it). They alert staff and delete nothing unless you choose a stricter consequence. The alert is posted by Discord and quotes the message, so give it a staff-only channel.

Scam Links

Scam links blocks links to known scam and fake-Nitro sites, from a list Asbern ships and updates with each release. It is compiled into Discord's AutoMod like the rules, so Discord deletes a matching message in every channel before anyone sees it. Switching it on while AutoMod is off switches AutoMod on too.

Warning Escalation

Escalation, on the second page, decides what a member's warnings add up to: after 2 to 10 warnings within 90 days, they are timed out, kicked or banned on their own. It applies to every member, even with AutoMod off, and a voided warning does not count. A kick or ban it issues is not undone by switching escalation off. Warnings come from Warn — see Moderation Actions.

Anti-Raid

Anti-raid watches who joins. A burst of joins — 10 in a minute unless you change it — counts as a raid only when at least half of them are accounts made in the last week; a burst of older accounts is treated as attention, not an attack. You set the number of joins, the time they arrive in and the share of new accounts that counts.

You also choose what it does, and each step is off until you switch it on: lock the server down, raise Discord's verification level, and pause invites. It acts without asking you first, and it only acts while the AutoMod master switch is on — its row says so when it is not. Its alert in your staff channel carries Undo beside each step it took, so an admin can put that step back.

AutoMod, Scam links and Anti-raid are each off until an admin switches them on, or Complete setup's Protection step does.

What it Costs

Nothing. Asbern is free: every feature on this page is included in every server, and no card is needed.
