Link protection.

Enable a broad external-link rule when a channel should not accept web addresses, bare domains or IP-address links.

Set clear boundaries for links.

Keep external links out of selected spaces, with exclusions for the channels that need them.

The walkthrough

How it works.

From your settings to the result your team can review.

01
Define the spaces
Enable link protection and exclude channels where sharing is welcome.
02
Recognise the link
The filter looks for supported external-link formats in a message.
03
Apply the rule
The bot attempts to remove the message using its channel permissions.

A policy filter, not a reputation scanner

Link protection recognises common HTTP, HTTPS and FTP URLs, www links, valid bare domains and IP-address links. When enabled, it attempts to remove matching messages.

Behaviour and exceptions

Link protection is disabled by default.
A routine link removal does not add a warning.
The dashboard can allow gifbox.me and its subdomains.
Channel or category exclusions can keep selected spaces outside automatic moderation.
