# Filter Words {% hint style="info" %} Replace \[prefix] with your server's prefix. {% endhint %} Words are filtered by utilizing Discord's automod feature. serenity will create an automod for your server and add to it for each word you filter. It is important that you **do not** delete this rule, all of your filtered words will be lost.

## Add a filtered Word You can create a filtered word by using the following command: ``` // Syntax [prefix]filter words add [word] // Example ;filter words add naughty ``` Once you have created a word filter, serenity will send an embed confirming the word creation.

{% hint style="warning" %} Users with Admin and Manage Server permissions are always exempt from filter rules. This is a Discord feature, we can't change this. {% endhint %} ## Whiteliste & Unwhiteliste You can whitelist and unwhitelist certain channels from being triggered by Discord's automod. ## Whitelist Channels You can allow filtered words to be sent in certain channels. To do this, run the following command: ``` [prefix]filter words whitelist [channel] ``` Once you run that command, users will be able to send your filtered words in the channel specified. serenity will send a confirmation message telling you that it has whitelisted that channel.

#### **Already Whitelisted** If you get a message saying "This channel is already exempt", it means what it says. The filter for filtered words does not apply for that channel. Read [Unwhitelist Channels](#unwhitelisting-channels) to learn how to disable this. ## Unwhitelisting Channels You can unwhitelist a whitelisted channel to disallow members from sending filtered words in that channel. To do this, run the following command: ``` [prefix]filter words unwhitelist [channel] ``` Once you run that command, users will no longer able to send invites in the channel specified. serenity will send a confirmation message telling you that it has unwhitelisted that channel.

#### **Not Whitelisted** If you get a message saying "This channel is not whitelisted", it means what it says. The filter for filtered words is already enabled in that channel. Read [Whitelist Channels](https://docs.pretend.best/security/filter/filter-words#whitelist-channels) to learn how to enable this. ## Whitelisted Channels You can get a list of all whitelisted channels by using the following command: ``` [prefix]filter words whitelisted ``` **No exempted channels** If you get a message saying "No exempted channels for invites filter", it means what it says. The filter for filtered words applies for all channels. Read [Whitelist Channels](#whitelist-channels) to learn how to whitelist channels from the filter. ## Remove a filtered Word You can remove a filtered word from serenity's chat filter by using the following command: ``` // Syntax [prefix]filter words remove [word] // Example ;filter words remove docs ``` Once you run this command, serenity will send an embed confirming it removed the word from the chat filter.

#### **Not in the Filter** If you get a message saying "The word \[word] is not in the word filter list", it means what it says. The word specified is not in the filtered word list. To create one, read [Add a Filtered Word](#add-a-filtered-word). ## Clear the wordlist Filter You can remove all words from the word filter by using the following command: ``` [prefix]filter words clear ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
