Caps Lock Moderation
Keep conversations readable and friendly.
Typing in ALL CAPS can make messages feel loud or overwhelming, especially in active channels. Caps Lock Moderation helps keep chats comfortable by gently stepping in when messages become hard to read.
This feature is designed to guide behavior, not interrupt conversation. Most of the time, a small reminder is all that’s needed.
Note: Ban Actions
Automatic bans are currently not supported by Discord auto moderation. At this time, Discord does not allow auto moderation rules to directly ban members.
If this policy changes in the future, Mochi will be updated to support it where appropriate.
What Caps Lock Moderation Does
When enabled, Mochi watches for messages that contain too many capitalized words in a row. If the limit is exceeded, Mochi responds based on the options you choose.
You decide:
What action Mochi takes
Where the rule applies
Who the rule applies to
Anti-Caps Lock Options
All Caps Lock settings are grouped together and follow the same structure as Mochi’s other auto moderation tools.
⏳ Timeout Member
Temporarily restricts a member from sending messages when unreadable text is detected.
You can choose how long the timeout lasts:
60 seconds
5 minutes
10 minutes
1 hour
1 day
1 week
This allows you to match the response to your server’s tone — from gentle reminders to stronger cooldowns.
💬 Custom Message
Send a friendly message explaining what happened. This helps members understand the rule and adjust their behavior without confusion.
Example:
“Hey! Let’s keep things easy to read — try using fewer capital letters 😊”
🚨 Send Alert
When enabled, Mochi sends a moderation alert whenever caps moderation is triggered.
Turning this on unlocks an additional option:
📌 Logging Channel
Select the channel where these alerts should be sent. This allows moderators to stay informed without actively watching every channel.
Alerts are informative, not noisy — perfect for visibility without micromanagement.
🚫 Ignored Channels
Choose channels where Caps Lock Moderation should not apply.
This is useful for:
Announcement channels
Roleplay or hype channels
Event or celebration spaces
Messages in ignored channels will not trigger caps moderation.
🎭 Allowed Roles
Select roles that are exempt from Caps Lock Moderation.
Members with these roles can use capital letters freely without triggering moderation. This is helpful for:
Staff roles
Event hosts
Special announcer roles
🔢 Caps Limit
The caps limit controls how many consecutive capitalized words are allowed before Mochi steps in.
Example:
Caps limit set to
3Moderation triggers at 4 or more capitalized words in a row
This keeps excitement possible without letting messages become hard to read.
🌱 Best Practices
Set a reasonable caps limit
Use friendly custom messages
Enable alerts if you want moderator visibility
Exclude high-energy channels if needed
Review alerts occasionally to fine-tune behavior
When configured well, Caps Lock Moderation works quietly in the background.
✨ Why It Matters
Readable conversations feel better for everyone.
Caps Lock Moderation helps:
Keep chats welcoming
Reduce accidental shouting
Support moderators automatically
Maintain a calm, friendly tone
When it’s working properly, most members won’t even notice — and that’s exactly the goal.
