Discord Moderation Bot Guide: Auto-Mod, Anti-Spam & Logging
Keep your Discord server safe and clean. Set up a moderation bot with auto-mod, anti-spam, warnings, and logging - no coding.
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
Protect your community on autopilot. Launch a Discord moderation bot free and keep it online 24/7.
