Banished users & link filter

Beyond the spam and profanity filters, ARCbots gives you two targeted tools: a banished-users list (auto-punish specific people) and a link filter.

Banished users (auto-ban / auto-kick)

Add a troublemaker once and the bot punishes them every time they enter — forever, until you remove them. Use the Banished Users manager, or from chat:

• !autoban <user> <reason> — auto-ban on entry.
• !autokick <user> <reason> — auto-kick on entry.
• !autokickremove <user> — take them off the list.

The manager lets you choose ban or kick per person and edit reasons. You can also one-time ban or kick someone in the moment with !ban / !kick.

Link filter

Control what links are allowed with the Link Filter manager, which has three modes:

• Disabled — all links allowed.
• Whitelist — block every link except domains on your Allowed list.
• Blacklist — allow links except domains on your Blocked list.

From chat: !filterlinks toggles whitelist filtering (!filterlinks blacklist switches mode), and !allowlink add <domain> / !allowlink remove <domain> edit the allowed list. arcbots.com is always allowed. Edit the blocked list from the panel.
