⚖️ Blify Mod

Mention scans (manual moderation)

Even in channels Blify Mod isn't actively moderating, you can call it on demand by @mentioning it. This is useful for:

  • Scanning a single suspect message a member reported
  • Checking a channel that you don't want continuously moderated
  • Letting members "flag" something for review

#Three ways to invoke a manual scan

#1. Reply + mention → scan that one message

Right-click a message, hit Reply, type @Blify Mod, and send. The bot scans just the message you replied to, plus a small slice of nearby context.

Send something like:

@Blify Mod take a look: https://discord.com/channels/123/456/789

The bot will resolve the link, fetch the target, and scan it (works across channels, as long as the bot can see the target channel).

#3. Mention with nothing else → scan recent channel messages

Just @Blify Mod on its own (or with a comment). The bot will scan the last 20 messages in the current channel (last 100 on Pro/Premium) and either flag the worst offender or report "all clear".

#Cooldown and limits

  • One mention scan per server every 5 minutes. This keeps API costs predictable on busy servers.
  • The bot never moderates the user who @mentioned it — only the content being scanned.
  • If the bot is /disabled in your server, the mention is acknowledged with a "I'm switched off" reply but no scan runs.
  • If the message author is immune (by user or role), the scan still happens but no action is taken.

#What the response looks like

After a scan, the bot replaces its "looking…" message with one of three outcomes:

  • 🟢 All clear — no rule violations.
  • 🔵 Dry run — would have taken action — the bot would have acted, but /dryrun is on.
  • 🔴 Handled — <action> — the bot took action (warn / delete / timeout / kick / ban). The offender gets a DM.
  • 🟠 Spotted something — but couldn't act — usually a permission issue. Check the bot's role position.

#Tip: combine with immunity

A common setup is to make the @Mods role immune and leave the bot in mention-mode (/setmodchannels with no channels). Members can then @mention the bot to flag specific messages, but the bot won't second-guess your moderators' own conduct.
