Docent - Moderation Support Bot

Moderation that assists your team instead of replacing it

Most mod bots either do too little (keyword lists you hand-tune forever) or too much (a black box that bans people on a hidden score). Docent sits in between: it does the tedious watching, surfaces what matters, and leaves the judgment calls to your human moderators.

Try it before you trust it

Docent installs in observation mode by default — it watches your server and shows your team exactly what it would flag and why, taking zero action until you decide to go live. No surprises, no "the bot nuked my server" horror story.

How it works

• 🛡️ Layered detection — a fast, free safety filter catches genuinely harmful content, deterministic rules handle spam/links/keywords, and an optional community-rules-aware AI layer catches the subtler stuff your rules miss.
• 🌊 Raid & spam protection — cross-channel duplicate detection collapses copy-paste floods into a single incident instead of 30 separate alerts.
• 🧑‍⚖️ Humans decide — flagged messages go to your mod channel with the reason and context. Your team approves or rejects; you set the strike and ban thresholds.
• ⏳ Cool-off, not just delete — borderline posts can be held with a private nudge to the author to edit or withdraw before a moderator ever spends time on it.
• 🚩 Community flagging — let trusted members flag with a reaction, weighted by how reliable their past flags have been.
• ⚖️ Built-in appeals — posters can contest a removal through a structured flow, so mistakes get corrected instead of festering.
• 🖼️ Image moderation — screenshots and stickers are scanned too, not just text.
• 🧩 Handles obfuscation — zero-width characters, homoglyphs, and leetspeak are normalized before anything is judged.
• 🖥️ Web dashboard — configure rules, review history, and tune thresholds from a clean settings panel.

Built cautiously on purpose

Docent is designed to be conservative: it starts silent, keeps a human in the loop, explains its reasoning, and gives posters a way to appeal. It's moderation tooling for communities that care about getting it right, not just getting it fast.
