Understanding these terms will help you navigate the documentation and configure Hashbot effectively. ## Core Concepts ### **Allowlist** A list of users and roles that are exempt from all Hashbot actions. Allowlisted users will never be banned, kicked, or timed out, even if they match filters. ### **Blocklist** A collection of filtered terms, patterns, or images that trigger Hashbot actions when matched. Also called "filters." ### **Cleanse** The process of scanning existing server members against your current filters to identify matches. Unlike automatic scanning of new members, cleanse is manually triggered. Results are displayed with a **"Review on Dashboard"** button linking to [dashboard.hashbot.com](https://dashboard.hashbot.com) for review and action. ### **Dashboard** The [Hashbot Dashboard](https://dashboard.hashbot.com) is a web-based control panel for managing Hashbot configuration. It provides a visual interface for managing filters, allowlists, manager roles, cleanse results, and more — replacing many in-Discord list and management commands. Many slash commands now show a **"Manage on Dashboard"** button linking here. ### **Fuzzy Mode** An advanced detection system that catches Unicode variants, symbol substitutions, and other attempts to bypass text filters. For example, it can detect "sc\@m" as a variant of "scam." ### **Manager Role** A Discord role that grants users permission to configure Hashbot settings, add/remove filters, and manage other aspects of the bot. ### **PFP (Profile Picture Protection)** A feature that detects when users have profile pictures similar to protected images, such as your team's avatars or known scam profiles. ### **Spam Detection (Auto-Kick)** Automatic detection and removal of accounts that Discord has flagged as spammers at the platform level. Works on join (auto-kick) and retroactively via the `/scan-spammers` bulk scan command. Configurable punishment: flag (assign a role), kick, or ban. ### **Verification** A CAPTCHA-based gate that requires new members to complete a visual challenge before accessing your server. Blocks automated bot joins and raid accounts. ## Technical Terms ### **OCR (Optical Character Recognition)** Technology that reads text from images. Used by Hashbot Vision to detect malicious text in uploaded images and profile pictures. ### **Regex (Regular Expression)** A powerful pattern-matching syntax that allows for complex text filtering. More flexible than simple phrase matching but requires technical knowledge to use effectively. ### **Unicode Variants** Different ways to represent the same character using Unicode standards. Scammers often use these to bypass simple text filters (e.g., using Cyrillic 'а' instead of Latin 'a'). ## Discord-Specific Terms ### **Slash Commands** Discord's modern command system that uses `/` as a prefix. All Hashbot commands use this format (e.g., `/name-filters add`). ### **Role Hierarchy** The ordering of roles in Discord. Higher roles can moderate lower roles. Hashbot must be positioned above roles it needs to moderate. ### **Server Permissions** Discord's permission system that controls what users and bots can do in a server. Hashbot requires specific permissions to function properly. ## Filter Types ### **Phrase Filter** A simple text filter that matches exact substrings. If you filter "scam", it will match "scammer", "scamming", etc. ### **Regex Filter** A pattern-based filter using regular expression syntax. More powerful than phrase filters but requires technical knowledge. ### **Template** Pre-built collections of filters curated by the Hashbot team. Available for both name filters and PFP protection. ## Actions & Responses ### **Ban** Permanently removes a user from the server and prevents them from rejoining. ### **Kick** Removes a user from the server but allows them to rejoin if they have an invite link. ### **Timeout** Temporarily prevents a user from sending messages or joining voice channels. ### **Log Channel** A private channel where Hashbot reports its actions and detections for review by moderators. ## Subscription Features ### **Premium Features** Advanced functionality that requires an active Hashbot subscription, including: * Fuzzy Mode (Unicode/symbol variant detection) * PFP Protection (profile picture matching) * Templates (pre-built filter collections) * Malicious Link Detection (real-time URL scanning) * Auto-Pilot (automatic name and PFP filter creation) * Unlimited text filters * Filter import/export ### **Free Features** Functionality available to all servers without a subscription: * Up to 3 phrase filters and 1 regex filter * Spam detection and auto-kick * Anti-Raid lockdown * Verification (CAPTCHA gate) * Auto Prune * Anti-Everyone protection * Allowlist and manager role management * Log channel configuration ## Related Services ### **Hashbot Safety Suite** A collection of specialized bots that work alongside Hashbot: * **Hashbot Vision**: Image and URL scanning * **DM Disabler**: Prevents unwanted direct messages * **MemberGator**: Automated member management ### **Discord Discovery** Discord's official bot directory where you can find and invite Hashbot to your server. ## Need More Help?
