The Auto-Mod page (/automod) configures streamion.bot's automatic chat moderation. Every incoming chat message is checked against your rules before streamion.bot looks at it for commands; based on what matches, streamion.bot can delete the message, time out the chatter (a temporary ban), or ban them permanently.

Auto-Mod requires the automod.manage permission, which is granted to the Owner, every Admin, and every Moderator by default. The feature can be globally disabled by your operator; in that case the page shows an information banner and existing rules are preserved but inactive.

Master switch

The toggle in the top-right of the page is the main on/off switch for the whole moderation system. While it is off, Auto-Mod accepts configuration changes but does not act on incoming messages — useful while you are still setting things up. Turn it on once you have your rules and exemptions ready.

Lockdown banner

When a rule triggers a workspace lockdown (for example because bot-raid detection went off), a warning banner appears above the master-switch status. It shows what triggered the lockdown, when it started, when it will auto-release, and a Release now button. Clicking the button ends the lockdown immediately, without waiting for the timer.

Filter rules

The Filter Rules tab is the list of rules you've set up. Rules are checked by type, top-to-bottom; the first one that matches wins, and that rule's action (Delete, Timeout, Ban) decides what happens to the message.

Use the New rule button to add a rule, the row icons to edit or delete it.

Chat settings

The Chat Settings tab holds the workspace-wide options that several filter types depend on.

Exemptions

The broadcaster is always exempt. The three toggles let you additionally exempt moderators, VIPs, and subscribers from all filters. Changes save automatically.

Caps filter

Triggers when both conditions are met: the share of capital letters in a message crosses the threshold, and the message is at least the configured minimum length. The minimum-length floor prevents short messages like OK or LOL from being moderated.

• Threshold (%) — percentage of uppercase characters, between the configured minimum and maximum.
• Min message length — characters; 1–500.

Account-age filter

Blocks chatters whose Twitch account is younger than the threshold — a classic anti-spam measure against freshly created throwaway accounts.

• Min account age (days) — set to 0 to disable the filter; otherwise messages from accounts younger than this are subject to the configured action.
• Hold first message — the switch already exists, but the review queue that the held messages will land in ships in a future release; toggling it now has no effect yet.

Bot-raid defense

The Bot-Raid Defense tab configures detection of coordinated bot raids — sudden bursts of new (often disposable) accounts flooding chat with similar messages. When the detector trips, the workspace enters a lockdown that tightens chat restrictions until the situation calms down or you press Release now on the lockdown banner.

The exact thresholds and lockdown duration are set on this tab; refer to the in-page descriptions for the current limits.

How this interacts with Twitch's own AutoMod

Twitch's built-in AutoMod runs before any third-party bot can see a message. streamion.bot's Auto-Mod is layered on top: messages that Twitch already filtered out never reach streamion.bot at all. Use streamion.bot's Auto-Mod for the channel-specific rules Twitch's filters don't cover.
