Blocked phrases
Blocked phrases has separate Literal phrases and Wildcard phrases lists. Literal phrases match a substring exactly;* and ? in that list stay literal.
With Ignore punctuation, a literal phrase such as boat also matches b.o.a.t.
pup removes Unicode punctuation for this additional match, keeping spaces and
symbols such as + and emoji. Entries containing only punctuation still match
literally. The option starts off and requires pup to respond. It does not
change wildcard phrases. When this rule is set to Take action, anonymous
submissions use the same matching option.
In the wildcard list, * matches any number of characters, including spaces and
line breaks, and ? matches one Unicode character. buy*coins matches “buy cheap
coins”; c?t matches “cat”. Escape a literal star, question mark or backslash with
\*, \? or \\. Other escapes are invalid. Matching ignores case and normalizes
Unicode compatibility forms; it does not ignore accents or punctuation. Patterns
match anywhere in a message and must contain a non-space literal character.
Each phrase is limited to 200 characters, with up to 200 literal phrases and 50
wildcard phrases. Wildcard phrases require pup as responder; Discord AutoMod
does not receive these patterns. Try a sample message checks the draft lists
locally without saving or sending your message. Scope and exemption checks still
apply to actual messages.
Link protection
Link protection distinguishes blocked domains and their subdomains from exact blocked hosts. Add hosts individually, without a URL scheme, path or port.example.com in the domain list includes sub.example.com; *.example.com is an
alias for that same rule and also includes the base domain. The exact-host list
matches only that hostname. Other glob expressions and regex are not supported.
Allowed domains override either block list and the approved-role
requirement for those hosts only. Approved roles permit other links; they do not
bypass explicit blocked domains. With the role requirement enabled and no approved
roles selected, it applies to all ordinary members. Protected-staff exemptions
remain in effect. These additional link policies require pup as the responder.
