Action details

DELETE posts a temporary channel notice and removes it after 6 seconds. WARN sends a DM. TIMEOUT, KICK, and BAN attempt the Discord moderation action only if the member is moderatable, kickable, or bannable.

Malformed URLs are treated as blocked when the link filter is on. The first blocked URL is included in the moderation reason. For bad words, the reason shown to the user is generic: “Prohibited word detected”.
