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.
