!nuke

Twitch YouTube Trovo Kick

Overview​

The !nuke command is a powerful moderation tool allowing moderators to perform bulk actions (timeout, ban, delete) on users whose recent messages contain specific text or match a regular expression.

Warning: This is a powerful command. Use it with caution, especially with broad match strings or regex.

Important: By default, only users with Super Moderator permission level or higher can use this command.

Usage​

!nuke <lookback_seconds> <action> <match_text_or_regex>

Examples​

Timeout users saying "spam spam" in the last 60 seconds for 120 seconds:

example chat
moderator badgeModUser:!nuke 60 120 spam spam
partner badgemoderator badgeStreamElements:@Moderator, Nuked 3 messages matching "spam spam".

Ban users whose messages matched a regex pattern in the last 5 minutes:

example chat
broadcaster badgeBroadcasterName:!nuke 300 ban /badsite.(com|net)/i
partner badgemoderator badgeStreamElements:@Broadcaster, Nuked 1 messages matching "/badsite.(com|net)/i".

Delete messages containing "selling stuff" in the last 30 seconds (Twitch only):

example chat
moderator badgeModUser:!nuke 30 delete selling stuff
partner badgemoderator badgeStreamElements:@Moderator, Nuked 2 messages matching "selling stuff".

Parameters​

  • <lookback_seconds> (Required): The duration (in seconds, max 300) to scan previous messages.
  • <action> (Required): The moderation action:
    • Number (e.g., 60): Timeout duration in seconds.
    • ban: Permanently ban the users.
    • delete: Delete the matching messages (Twitch only, requires Mod status for the bot).
  • <match_text_or_regex> (Required): The text to search for.
    • For plain text matching: some bad phrase
    • For regular expression matching: Wrap the pattern in forward slashes, e.g., /badword\d+/i (the i makes it case-insensitive).

Configuration​

  • The command's permission level can be adjusted under Chatbot -> Chat Commands -> Default Commands. It's highly recommended to keep this restricted.
  • !nukeusername: Performs similar actions but matches against usernames instead of message content.
  • !filesay: Executes commands line-by-line from a text file URL, useful for banning specific lists of users.
