Quick setup guide
1
Add the bot
Invite Language Filter to your Discord server using the Add to Discord button on the homepage. Give it the permissions required for moderation, logging and slash commands.
2
Open the dashboard
Sign in with Discord, pick your guild and check that the bot appears in the selected server. Use the dashboard for the easiest configuration experience.
3
Select channels
Choose watched channels, categories or threads. Enable auto-watch if new channels should be protected automatically.
4
Configure moderation
Add dictionary words, choose anti-spam level, enable anti-link rules and decide whether warnings should lead to auto-mutes or temporary bans.
Dashboard setup checklist
- Guild overview: confirm the bot is enabled and the correct guild is selected.
- Dictionary: add the words your community wants filtered. Avoid adding vague words that could cause false positives.
- Channels: select watched channels or categories. Categories are useful when you want new server areas to be managed together.
- Anti-link: choose all-link blocking or custom link/category rules. Use staff review for unknown links when you want moderators to decide.
- Punishments: set warning thresholds, mute length, ban length and warning expiry so actions stay fair.
- Whitelist: add trusted users and choose whether they bypass all checks, spam only, links only, spam plus links, or AI checks.
- Logs: pick a moderation log channel so staff can see evidence and actions clearly.
AI moderation setup
- Start with AI screening if you want an extra safety layer on flagged language matches.
- Enable GPT review when you want context-aware decisions for messages that are not obvious.
- Use AI safety monitoring for harassment, violence and sexual-content categories.
- Choose profile actions: monitor, delete message, temp mute or temp ban.
- Set the AI alert role so the right staff are pinged for review actions.
- Enable image analysis only when your server needs image moderation and understands that AI credits may be used.
Tip: use conservative thresholds first, watch the AI logs, then tighten settings once you understand how your community talks.

FAQ
Why is the bot not deleting messages?
Run /settings diagnose. The bot usually needs permissions such as View Channel, Send Messages, Manage Messages, Read Message History and moderation permissions for timeouts or bans.
Why are some channels not protected?
Check watched channels, categories and auto-watch settings. The bot only moderates the places you have selected unless auto-watch covers new channels.
Should I manage everything through commands or the dashboard?
The dashboard is best for large changes because it shows settings together. Commands are useful for quick changes inside Discord.
Does AI moderation replace staff?
No. AI is a support tool. It can help spot context and serious safety issues, but staff should review logs, tune thresholds and handle appeals.
