Automod.

Choose what Stoatmod watches, how confident a match must be and what the bot should do when a configured category crosses that threshold.

All features

Your community. Your moderation rules.

Choose which content to flag and how the bot responds, with room for human review.

The walkthrough

How it works.

From your settings to the result your team can review.

  1. 01

    Choose what to watch

    Enable moderation categories and set the confidence needed for a match.

  2. 02

    Set the response

    Decide whether a match should be observed, reviewed or acted on.

  3. 03

    Review the outcome

    Use event history and eligible cases to understand what happened.

01

Automatic does not mean uncontrolled

Stoatmod checks text and qualifying images against the moderation categories a server enables. A category only triggers when its score is greater than the effective threshold and its configured action permits an intervention.

Policy Studio separates observation from enforcement. Teams can watch matches first, move selected categories into review and enable stronger actions only after they understand the effect on their own community.

  • Observe matches without taking action.
  • Send selected matches for moderator review.
  • Delete, warn or time out according to each category policy.
  • Keep channel exclusions and moderator exemption under server control.
02

Thresholds and category policy

The default moderation threshold is 90%. The dashboard limits normal policy thresholds to 50–100%. The legacy command permits lower values only after a separate confirmation because low thresholds can act on weak background scores.

~threshold

~threshold set 90

Set a 90% threshold.

~categories

Review enabled moderation categories.

03

Safety and failure behaviour

  • Moderation-provider or network failures are fail-open, so the message remains rather than being silently removed.
  • Suicidal thoughts use an always-enabled supportive DM category without deleting or warning. Promoting self-harm is a separate moderation category.
  • Moderator exemption is enabled by default and can be changed by the server team.
  • Cases and event history provide review context, but not every operational event becomes a moderation case.
04

Recommended rollout

  1. 01

    Audit permissions

    Run setup and resolve missing permissions or role hierarchy first.

    ~setup
  2. 02

    Review current policy

    Open the dashboard or inspect categories and threshold commands before changing anything.

  3. 03

    Start conservatively

    Use observe or review modes for uncertain categories and keep the 90% default while testing.

  4. 04

    Verify the outcome

    Confirm the expected message, warning, timeout and case behaviour in a controlled channel.
