Word Blacklist

The word blacklist is a simple filtering system that prevents messages containing specific words from being relayed to other servers.

How It Works

When a message is sent in a linked channel, Orax checks the message content
If the message contains any word from the blacklist, it is blocked (not relayed)
The sender may receive a notification that their message was blocked (depending on settings)

The word blacklist is a simpler alternative to the message filters system. If you need more advanced filtering (by media type, author type, etc.), use message filters instead.

Adding Words

You can add any words or phrases to the blacklist. Matching is case-insensitive and uses whole words (blacklisting spam blocks spam and Spam!, but not spamming). Hyphenated phrases still match (ass matches ass-hat).

How to Configure

Via Dashboard

Go to oraxbot.com/dashboard
Select your server and group
Under Moderation & Security, find the Word Blacklist field
Add words separated by commas
Save the changes

Via Discord

The word blacklist is configured from the dashboard . /manage-group only exposes toggle settings.

Example

Blacklisted words: spam, scam, phishing, nsfw

Message	Result
”Hello everyone!”	✅ Relayed
”Check out this spam link”	❌ Blocked (contains “spam”)
“This is a scam”	❌ Blocked (contains “scam”)
“How are you?”	✅ Relayed

Notes

Word blacklist applies group-wide across all channels and servers
The blacklist works independently from message filters — both are checked
Blocked messages are not relayed to any server in the group
If a log channel is configured, blocked messages will be logged there
