Profanity Moderation

Profanity moderation automatically monitors messages for inappropriate language and takes action when violations occur.

InfiniBot’s profanity filter uses a combination of pre-defined words and server-specific custom words to provide comprehensive coverage.

  2. Enable the feature with the Enable button (if applicable)
  3. Configure the following settings:
    • Manage Strike System - Manage the strike system
      • Manage Members - Manage each member’s strikes
      • Maximum Strikes - Configure the maximum number of strikes before automatic timeout

Filtered Words

  1. Access via: /dashboard → Moderation → Profanity → Filtered Words

  3. Manage your filtered words:
    • Add Word - Add new words (supports multiple words separated by commas)
    • Delete Word - Remove specific words from the filter
    • Test - Verify your word patterns work as expected
    • Reset to Defaults - Clear all custom words and start fresh

Word Management: Your server can have up to 150 filtered words total. InfiniBot automatically prevents duplicate words and validates each entry to ensure proper formatting.

InfiniBot automatically applies basic pattern matching words to detect simple variations of these words. For detailed information about the advanced pattern matching rules in the word filter, see the Filtered Words page.

Testing Your Filters

Use the Test button to ensure your word filters work as expected:

  1. Access via: /dashboard → Moderation → Profanity → Filtered Words → Test
  2. Enter sample text that might trigger your filters
  3. Check if the results match your expectations
  4. Adjust your filter patterns as needed

This helps you avoid false positives while still catching problematic content.

Admin Channel

The admin channel receives notifications when members use profane language:

  1. Create a private channel visible only to moderators
  2. Configure the admin channel by using /set admin-channel in the desired channel or through the dashboard.
  3. Strikes will be reported here, along with message content and overriding capabilities

Strike Management

From the Admin Channel:

  • View the original deleted message
  • Mark strikes as incorrect (refunding them to the member)
  • Review strike information

Users can check their own strikes with /view my-strikes
Moderators can check any member’s strikes with /view member-strikes @member

How to Disable Profanity Moderation

If profanity moderation doesn’t suit your server’s needs, you can disable it:

  1. Access via: /dashboard → Moderation → Profanity
  2. Click the Disable Profanity Moderation button

Alternatively, you can fine-tune InfiniBot’s Filtered Words to better suit your community’s language standards without disabling the entire feature.
