We are asking for Automod to be removed, or at the very least for its reach to be lowered so it does not apply in guild channels and private messages.
Right now, Automod is controlling what we can say all the time, and that goes too far. People need room to talk naturally, share information, and have private conversations without feeling watched or filtered at every step. When moderation reaches into personal messages, it stops feeling like safety and starts feeling like overreach.
We understand the need for community rules and healthy spaces. No one wants abuse, spam, or harmful behavior to go unchecked. But moderation should protect people without taking over every conversation. There is a big difference between keeping a space respectful and controlling speech in places that should remain private or personal.
By removing Automod, or at least keeping it out of guild and PMs, you would give people back some basic freedom and trust. You would also make moderation feel more fair and balanced, rather than constant and intrusive.
We ask you to reconsider this system and make a change that respects both safety and personal space. The community deserves moderation that helps, not one that reaches everywhere.
I totally agree
