Chat moderation: how to set up automatic filters

Automatic moderation for big and small channels

Twir moderation rules check every chat message and punish violators automatically: delete the message, warn the user, time them out or ban them. Moderators, VIPs and other roles can be excluded from any rule.

Filters cover links, banned words and phrases with regular expressions, caps, symbols, long messages, too many emotes, disallowed languages and repeated spam from one user. Each rule can warn first and punish only after several warnings, and a built-in tester shows which rule a message would trigger.

For raids and spam waves, the chat wall command deletes, times out or bans everyone who writes a given phrase for the next few minutes.
