# Automod plugin

Automatic moderation for duplicate messages, rate limits, and join raids. Dreamliner evaluates messages and member joins against configurable rules and takes action when thresholds are exceeded.

**Automod is disabled by default.** Enable it when you're ready with `/plugin toggle plugin:automod state:Enable`. Rule defaults are preconfigured in the template so you can turn it on without extra setup.

## Configuration

```yaml
plugins:
  automod:
    enabled: false
    config:
      enabled_rules:
        - duplicate
        - rate_limit
      duplicate_window_ms: 30000
      duplicate_max: 3
      rate_limit_count: 5
      rate_limit_window_ms: 10000
      raid_join_count: 10
      raid_join_window_ms: 30000
      ignored_channels: []
      ignored_roles: []
      action: delete
      mute_duration_ms: 600000
    overrides:
      - level: ">=50"
        config:
          can_status: true
          can_test: true
          can_configure: true
```

| `duplicate_window_ms`  | Time window for duplicate detection                                     |

| `raid_join_count`      | Joins that trigger raid detection                                       |
| `raid_join_window_ms`  | Raid detection time window                                              |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dreamliner.gitbook.io/dreamliner-docs/docs/plugins/automod.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
