A good moderation bot is the backbone of a healthy Discord server. It catches spam, enforces rules, and gives your team logs and tools - automatically. Here’s how to set one up.

What a Moderation Bot Handles

  • Auto-mod - filters spam, mass mentions, and banned words
  • Anti-raid - slows or blocks coordinated join attacks
  • Warnings & timeouts - escalating actions for repeat offenders
  • Logging - a record of deletes, edits, joins, and mod actions

Step 1 - Deploy the Moderation Template

On SpawnBots, choose the Moderation template, paste your bot token, and deploy. It ships with automod, warnings, kick/ban, and a mod-log channel.

Step 2 - Set Permissions Correctly

Give the bot a role high enough to act on members (Kick/Ban/Manage Messages/Moderate Members) and place that role above the members it should manage.

Step 3 - Configure Your Rules

Set spam thresholds, banned words, and which channels are watched. Add a clear rules channel so members know the expectations.

Pro Tips

  • Pair auto-mod with a verification gate to stop bots at the door
  • Keep a private mod-log channel for your staff
  • Review logs weekly and tune thresholds to your community
