¶ Custom Settings
Each rule has settings you can customize to your liking. Click the help button ❔ next to the setting if provided to find out more about it. Some are listed below.
Banned Words
- You can paste multiple words into the list by separating them with a comma. Eg.
word,word,word- Banned Words (wildcard) - This means that Dyno will look for the word within another word. For example if the word “hi” was banned in wildcard the word “high” would be automodded.
- Banned Words (exact) - This means that Dyno will only look for that exact word within a message.
Links
- You do not need to add
http://orhttps://to the beginning of a link.- You do not need to add a link for every single sub-domain. For example, if you add “dyno.gg”, all “dyno.gg/” links would be detected.
- Delete specific links - Use this option if you only want to delete certain links.
- Delete all links - Use this option if you want to delete ALL links. (You can still allow certain links with this setting.)
¶ Actions
These are the actions Dyno can take upon a user triggering a rule.
- Warn - Gives the user a verbal warning in chat when they trigger the rule.
- Delete - Deletes the message that triggered the rule.
- Auto Mute - Will mute the user for triggering the rule x amount of times according to # of violations set.
- Auto Ban - Will ban the user for triggering the rule x amount of times according to # of violations set.
- Instant Mute - Will mute the user immediately after triggering the rule.
- Instant Ban - Will ban the user immediately after triggering the rule.
The
Warnaction for rules in Automod only sends a verbal warning in the channel that automatically deletes after a few seconds (for example, setting Warn as an Action for a rule with the Banned Words filter will respond with{user}, Watch your language.). It is not a?warnand will not dm the user, be logged in the Modlog channel, appear on ?warnings or ?modlogs, or go toward any Autopunish settings.
Automod violations expire after 5 minutes.
¶ Permissions
You can also set custom permissions per rule.
- Affected Roles - The user must have these roles to be affected by the rule.
- Affected Channels - The message must be sent in these channels to be affected by the rule.
- Ignored Roles - The rule will ignore any user who has these roles.
- Ignored Channels - The rule will ignore messages sent in these channels.
Don’t add both
Affected RolesandIgnored Rolesor bothAffected ChannelsandIgnored Channels. If you add an Affected Role, it will automatically ignore all other roles and If you add an Affected Channel, it will automatically ignore all other channels and vice versa.

¶ Troubleshooting Steps
- Make sure Dyno has the permissions specified here.
- Run
?diagnose Automod(case-sensitive). If the module is disabled, enable it on the dashboard or by running the?module automodcommand. - Make sure the user triggering Automod is not a Dyno Moderator or Manager, as these users are ignored from Automod. To check if Dyno views the user as a moderator or manager, run the ?whois command on them and check if Dyno labels them as a
Server Moderator,Server Manager,Server Admin, orServer Ownerunder Acknowledgements. - Make sure the user triggering Automod does not have an
Allowed/Ignored Roleand is not testing it in anAllowed/Ignored Channel. These can be set on the dashboard underManage Default Settingsfor Automod as well as in thePermissionssection of individual rules. - If only certain rules are not working, Dyno may not view the message being sent as a violation of the rule.
