Link Filter
The Link filter helps manage the posting of links in chat messages. It checks if a message contains any links and compares them with the set allowlist and blocklist. If a message contains a link that is not in the allowlist or is in the blocklist, the filter takes action according to the configured settings.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Allowlist | A list of links or link patterns that are allowed in messages. Links matching the allowlist are never flagged by the filter. |
| Blocklist | A list of links or link patterns that are never allowed in messages. Any link that matches a pattern in this list is treated as harmful and punished more harshly. |
Both lists support the * wildcard character for flexible rules, and patterns are matched case-insensitively.
The filter also supports the settings shared by all filters — timeout length, custom timeout message, excluded user level — which also determine what happens on a violation.
Links matching the blocklist receive a harsher punishment: when the action is a timeout, the user is timed out for double the configured duration. With any other action (delete only, ban, or warning), the configured action applies as-is.
