Banned Words

Protect conversations before problems start.

Banned Words let you automatically block specific terms or phrases from being used in your server. Instead of waiting for moderators to react, Mochi quietly steps in the moment a restricted word appears — keeping conversations respectful and safe without constant oversight.

This tool is ideal for filtering:

  • Slurs or hate speech

  • Harassment or abusive language

  • Scam-related phrases

  • Server-specific no-go terms

  • Repeated problem words unique to your community

Banned Words work alongside Auto Moderation, giving you precise, intentional control over language boundaries.

Banned Words help your community stay kind, clear, and comfortable — automatically.
