# AutoMod

The `/automod` or `-automod` command allows server administrators to customize Discord's built-in moderation system, providing an additional layer of control over the content in your server. This feature lets you configure automated rules to detect flagged words, keywords, spam, links, mentions, and more.

   After triggering the command, select the **Advanced AutoMod** option from the available settings. This will open the AutoMod configuration menu.
3. **Add or Remove Rules**\
   You can easily add or remove specific rules based on your server’s needs.
   * **Add Rule**\
     Click on the **Add** button, and you will be presented with several rule options to choose from:
     * **Flagged Words Rule**: Automatically flag messages containing inappropriate or unwanted words.
     * **Keyword Rule**: Flag messages containing specific keywords that you define.
     * **Spam Rule**: Detect and act on repeated messages to prevent spam.
     * **Links Rule**: Block or flag messages containing links.
     * **Mentions Rule**: Detect excessive mentions, preventing spammy behavior.
   * **Remove Rule**\
     Click on the **Remove** button, then select the rule you want to delete. This will disable the selected rule from being applied in your server.
