Exempt channels or roles for staff areas, bot commands, or NSFW zones you moderate manually. Exemptions skip scoring entirely in those places.
Allowlist
Allowlisted phrases are stripped before other checks. Allowlisting a word does not hide threats in the same sentence — remaining text is still scored.
Blocklist overlap
Custom blocklist hits are instant — see Custom blocklist in What Sift catches.
Lorem mode
Under hazard categories, removed messages can become lorem ipsum under the member’s name so the scroll still reads naturally. Requires Manage Webhooks. Spam and hard scam links still delete outright.
