The /controls panel
/controls (or =controls) opens Automod's control panel right inside
Discord: set up and analyse your server without memorising commands.
The menu at the top of the panel switches pages. Everyone can open it, but only the buttons you are allowed to use
are clickable, and rights are checked again on every click. A panel opened by someone else only answers them: run
/controls yourself. The banner is green when active, red when paused and
orange when something is wrong (missing permission, maintenance). Everything can also be done from the
web dashboard.
🏠 Home — everyone
- Automod ON / OFF: pauses all automatic moderation (
=stopright). - Test mode: sanctions are simulated; a full report is posted in the logs when you turn it off
(
=testmoderight). - This week: number of sanctions, automatic and by staff.
- Protection: active modules, repeat offenders, server lockdown or raid mode in progress.
- Plan: your current plan and the Plans button.
- If the setup isn't done: the Configure button (opens
/setup).
🤖 Automatic moderation — /controls right
What members do, in two groups: Message content (insults, sexual content, personal data, scams) and Spam, mentions and links. For each module:
- the status button goes from OFF to ON (rule-based detection) then to AI (artificial intelligence, Max plan or your own key, content modules — see the AI);
- the % button sets the sensitivity from 0 (insensitive) to 100 (most sensitive) — Pro plan; on Free, each module keeps its standard sensitivity;
- a protection from a higher plan shows a button to the plans.
📋 Logs and Smartlog — /controls right
Two groups: Moderation (staff and automatic sanctions, convocations, permanent bans) and Server (raids, joins and leaves, bot additions…). Each event's button goes from OFF to ON (classic log) then, on the Pro plan, to 🧠 Smartlog.
A Smartlog card shows the member's avatar and context (account age, record, repeat offences, notes) and buttons
depending on what happened: unban and reinvite after a ban, lift the timeout after a mute, remove the warn, delete the
message after an @everyone, turn off raid mode… Each button requires the matching command's permission, the reason and
duration are asked before a sanction, and the card keeps track of who did what. Cards go to the Smartlog channel if
set, otherwise to the log's usual channel. Log channels are chosen in /setup or on the
dashboard.
🛡️ Protection — =lock, =stop or /controls right
Everything that protects the server, in four groups: Emergency, Raids and joins, Anti-nuke and Server. Details on the Protections and anti-raid page.
⚖️ Sanctions — =history or =pardon right
- Choose the period: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or all time.
- Overview by sanction type, staff sanctions and most active moderators, automatic detections, most sanctioned members, ongoing timeouts and temporary bans.
- Actions: lift a timeout, pardon a member (their repeat offences reset) or pardon everyone (with confirmation).
🎉 Community — /controls right
Welcome, goodbye, joins and leaves, auto-roles, member counter, suggestions, role menus, reaction roles and staff absences: each feature has its own page with an ON / OFF button and its settings (see Community).
🔐 Permissions — owner, buyer, administrators, bot admins
- The list of every command and who can use it.
- Edit permission: pick a category, then a command (or the whole category), then Discord (the linked Discord permission), Owner (owner, buyer, bot admins) or Roles and members. Reset goes back to the default.
- The owner can also remove the buyer's rights there. See Permissions.
