Spam Detection

Spam Detection helps reduce message floods, repeated text, mention spam, link spam, and other disruptive posting patterns.

What it helps with

Spam can look like:

• Rapid messages from one member
• Repeated words or phrases
• Repeated links
• Large mention bursts
• Copy-paste floods
• Raid-style channel flooding

Lockie can detect these patterns, apply the configured action, and post a protection log so staff can review what happened.

Configure Spam Detection

1. Open https://lockieapp.ca
2. Select your server.
3. Open the Anti Check or Protection section.
4. Enable Anti-Spam.
5. Choose the action you want Lockie to take.
6. Set your protection log channel.
7. Review exempt channels and roles.

Recommended actions

Start carefully:

Stage	Suggested action
First setup	Log only or delete only
After testing	Delete and timeout
During active raids	Stronger actions if your staff team approves

Best practices

• Keep a dedicated protection log channel.
• Exempt staff channels where testing happens.
• Exempt channels where fast posting is expected, such as bot command channels or counting channels.
• Review logs before increasing action severity.
• Combine Anti-Spam with slowmode during high-traffic moments.

Troubleshooting

If Anti-Spam is not triggering:

• Make sure the module is enabled.
• Make sure Lockie can View Channel and Manage Messages.
• Check whether the channel or role is exempt.
• Confirm the action is not set to disabled or log only.

If Anti-Spam triggers too often:

• Add safe channels.
• Exempt trusted roles.
• Lower the action severity while tuning.
• Check logs to see which pattern caused the action.
