Hey everyone! I’m running a Discord server and I’m having trouble with users who keep posting repeated messages. I want to find a moderation bot that can automatically detect when someone is flooding the chat with the same content over and over.
The main feature I really need is the ability to set up a whitelist of certain terms or phrases that the bot should allow even if they get repeated. For example, if people are saying common things like “thanks” or “lol” multiple times, I don’t want those to trigger the spam protection.
I’ve been searching through different bot lists but haven’t found anything that offers this kind of customizable spam detection yet. Has anyone here used a bot that can handle this type of filtering? Any recommendations would be really helpful!
dyno’s great for filtering, but free limits suck. mee6 might go a bit overboard with spam, so watch out for that. arcane bot’s kinda underrated but does a good job with customizing your repeated message settings!
Had the same problem recently - went with Ticket Tool Bot. Most people skip it since it’s marketed for ticketing, but the spam protection is actually really good. The contextual filtering is what sold me - you can set it to ignore repeated messages when they’re responses to specific keywords or commands. Whitelist works great too, though getting the timing thresholds dialed in took some tweaking. Best part is it learns from what moderators do, so it gets better at telling real spam from legit repeated responses. Worth a look if the popular bots aren’t cutting it for you.
Those bots work fine until you need to change something. Then you’re waiting for updates or stuck with their limits.
I fixed this for my team’s server with Latenode automation. Instead of premade bots, I connected Discord webhooks to a custom filtering workflow.
You can build whatever logic you want. Track message patterns over time, run multiple whitelists for different channels, factor in user roles or message context.
My setup catches spam but ignores reaction spam during events and allows repeated commands in bot channels. Carl-bot can’t do that.
When your community grows or needs change, you just modify the workflow instead of hunting for new bots.
Takes about an hour for the basic version, then add features as needed.
Skip hunting for Discord bots - build exactly what you need with Latenode.
Discord bots only do what their creators thought you’d want. Your spam filtering is specific to your community.
Latenode lets you create a webhook that monitors Discord messages in real time. Set up your own repeated message detection and maintain your whitelist however you want.
I built something similar for a gaming community with custom rules per channel. Took about 2 hours total.
You control the filtering logic, adjust thresholds instantly, and add features like user strikes or temp mutes.
Carl-bot has a robust automod feature that fits your needs perfectly. I’ve been using it for eight months, and the spam detection is reliable. You have the option to catch repeated messages while also allowing specific words or phrases through a whitelist. The setup is quick; it should take you about ten minutes via their dashboard. Just be sure to adjust the sensitivity to avoid false positives for harmless phrases. You can also implement different rules per channel and exempt certain roles from the spam filters, making it a solid choice for server moderation.
