# Allowlist, exemptions, and lorem mode

Channels and roles Sift ignores, phrases you've vouched for, and placeholder text instead of deletes.

Exempt the channels or roles you handle yourself: staff areas, bot-command channels, NSFW zones you moderate by hand. Sift skips scoring there completely.

## Allowlist

Allowlisted phrases get cut out before the other checks run. Allowlisting a word won't hide a real problem in the same sentence, though. Whatever's left still gets scored.

## Blocklist overlap

Custom blocklist hits are instant. See Custom blocklist in What Sift catches.

## Lorem mode

For hazard categories, a removed message can turn into lorem ipsum under the member's name, so the scrollback still reads naturally. The lorem copy keeps the original's word count and line breaks. If lorem ipsum looks odd in your server, switch the style to a single "message removed by Sift" line instead. It needs Manage Webhooks. Spam and hard scam links still get deleted outright.
