Replacing TeamSpeak, Discord has become a constant for most gamers, streamers, and content creators to communicate during games or connect with their communities online. So, citing the expansion of the Discord community, the company is taking some significant steps to improve the user experience. Therefore, Discord has now announced a new AutoMod tool that can automatically detect and block certain offensive words or phrases in a server.
Discord recently took to an official blog post to announce its newest AutoMod tool. This feature resides in the Server Settings menu, under Content Moderation, on desktops and allows server moderators with “Manage Server” permission to configure the tool to detect and block offensive or abusive words or phrases in their servers.
After adding the keywords that they want to block in their servers, moderators can also choose one of three responses for users who use the blocked words. Currently, they can select to block the message before being posted to a chat, send an alert to a chosen channel, and apply a timeout for the guilty user account.
