Moderation settings

One switch at the top of the Rules card turns Limzo moderation on or off for the whole group. While it is off nothing is deleted and nobody is muted; the rules below grey out to show they are inactive, but keep their values — switching moderation back on restores your exact configuration. Filter lists stay editable either way, so you can prepare allow and block lists before enabling.

Domains that your group trusts, such as official project links. Allowed domains do not override blocked promo terms inside the URL path.

Official channels, bots, or partner usernames that members may mention. Limzo also protects its own usernames automatically.

When Limzo is added, links and @usernames already in the group’s own description are treated as the group’s official ones and pre-added to the allowed lists, so moderation never fights your own links. This only ever adds entries — it never removes anything you saved, and you can edit the lists any time.

People who should be exempt from moderation, for example team members or regular contributors. Free has a smaller trusted-user limit than paid plans.

These terms are checked in links, usernames, buttons, and Telegram promo targets rather than normal everyday text.

Optional protection that blocks spam links and usernames already confirmed by admins in several other Limzo groups. Your allowed domains, allowed usernames, and trusted users always override it. On by default; switch it off in the Moderate tab.

Catches spam that has no bad words in it: the same message pasted several times, or a rapid burst of messages from one member. The copies are removed and the sender gets a short cool-down (a brief mute, never a ban). Admins and trusted users are exempt, and it only cools someone down if your group already acts on offenders. On by default; switch it off in the Moderate tab.

Optional: when the same member triggers three confident spam detections within 24 hours, the action escalates from mute to ban. Low-confidence removals, such as shared contact details, never count toward escalation. On by default.

Watches for members who join with — or rename themselves to — a name or username that mimics one of your admins or Limzo itself. Connected admins get a private alert with one-tap Ban / Looks-fine buttons; choosing “Looks fine” whitelists that member permanently. On by default. Pro and Community groups can additionally set an automatic action (mute for 24 hours or ban) that fires only on clear impersonations, never on uncertain ones. For how the scam itself works and what else protects members, read the fake admin scam guide.

When Limzo bans or mutes a spammer, it quietly checks who brought that member in (from your Top recruiters data). If one member keeps adding people who all turn out to be spam — a deliberate spam funnel — connected admins get a single private heads-up naming that recruiter, with one-tap Ban, Mute, or “Trust this recruiter” buttons. Limzo never punishes the recruiter on its own — the decision is always yours, and choosing “Trust” stops future alerts about them. Only deliberate adds and named invite links count, so members who joined on their own never implicate anyone, and current admins are never flagged. Runs on all plans; these alerts follow the same switch as your other moderation alerts.
