A Discord moderation bot built for chat, images, and raids
Vettly Discord applies the same moderation decision layer to messages and attachments, then turns those decisions into server actions and reviewable logs.
Quick answer
A Discord moderation bot should combine fast message checks, media moderation, spam and raid signals, configurable actions, and human review. Vettly Discord uses the Vettly developer platform to return consistent allow, warn, flag, or block decisions and preserve the reason and policy version behind each action.
Chat and media
Moderate text plus supported image and video attachments through one decision layer.
Policy-driven actions
Turn decisions into delete, warn, log, escalate, or review behavior for each server.
Decision history
Keep category, reason, timestamp, decision ID, and policy version available to moderators.
What a Discord moderation bot needs beyond keyword filters
Keyword lists are useful for explicit terms, but communities also face harassment expressed through context, risky attachments, repeated scam links, and coordinated behavior. Those cases need more than a single banned-word check.
A production moderation workflow should combine automated decisions with configurable server actions and a path for moderators to review borderline cases.
- Message checks for harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, self-harm, spam, and custom rules.
- Image and video attachment checks using the same policy model.
- Actions that match the severity and confidence of a decision.
- Logs that explain what happened when a member or moderator disputes an action.
How Vettly Discord handles a message
The bot sends supported content to Vettly with the server’s active policy. Vettly returns a decision, categories, reasons, and an action. The bot then applies the configured Discord behavior and records the decision for review.
Clear violations can be handled automatically while uncertain or context-dependent cases can be routed to a human moderator.
Start with the bot or build your own integration
Vettly Discord is the fastest way to use the workflow in a server. Teams with a custom bot can integrate the Discord Moderation API pattern directly and choose exactly how each result maps to channel actions, roles, and moderator queues.
Use auditability to improve policy
Decision history is useful for more than disputes. Reviewing flagged cases shows where thresholds are too strict, where a community-specific rule is missing, and which actions should remain human-led.
