What is the name of Discord's automated moderation tool?

The name of Discord's automated moderation tool is AutoMod. It is Discord's built-in system of content filters, designed to detect and block unwanted or risky content before it is posted.

AutoMod can use keyword rules, commonly flagged-word lists, spam-content detection, and mention-spam controls. Server administrators can configure actions such as blocking a message, sending an alert to a private moderator channel, or timing out a member in some cases.

A common mix-up is confusing AutoMod with bots such as Dyno or ModBot. Those are third-party applications that can automate moderation, but they are not Discord's own moderation feature. “AutoModerator” is also a plausible descriptive phrase, but AutoMod is the official feature name used in Discord's interface and documentation.

AutoMod is configured from a server's settings and is intended to reduce repetitive work for human moderators rather than replace them. Its filters can still miss context or incorrectly flag messages, so moderators generally review alerts and adjust exempt words, channels, and roles.
