Moderation: bans, word filter & auto-responses

CloudMod is more than role sync — each project ships several moderation tools. You'll find them in the project tabs.

Network bans (cross-server)

In the Bans tab you enable ban sync. When on, the bot enforces every ban network-wide: if a user is banned on any project server, the bot automatically bans them on all other servers of the project. Unban works symmetrically — unban anywhere and they're unbanned everywhere.

Safeguards:

• Server owners, the bot itself and admins are never banned network-wide.
• Whitelisted users (see below) are exempt — their bans don't propagate.
• A loop guard prevents the bot's own ban actions from being re-processed.

Requirement: the bot needs Ban Members on every server, and its role must sit above the target user's role.

Word filter

In the Word filter tab you maintain a pattern list with three match modes: substring, whole word and regex (advanced). When a message matches a pattern, the bot:

• deletes the message,
• optionally assigns a quarantine role,
• optionally sends the user a DM (custom template or default text),
• writes an audit-log entry.

Exempt: bots/webhooks, server admins, whitelisted users and holders of the per-server filter-exempt roles. The quarantine role must sit below the bot role; deleting requires Manage Messages.

Auto-responses

In the Auto-responses tab you create trigger-→-reply rules. Per rule: a trigger (with match mode), reply text or an embed (title + color), a per-user cooldown and a scope (all or specific sub-servers). On a match the bot replies — only the first matching rule fires per message.

Whitelist (trusted users)

In project settings you keep a list of trusted Discord IDs. These users are exempt from the word filter, ban enforcement and the account-age gate — handy for known alt accounts, partners or VIPs.
