Processing Pipeline

When a player sends a chat message, it passes through this pipeline:

1. Slowmode Check — Enforce channel slowmode

2. Raid Protection — Check if raid mode restricts this player

3. Mute Check — Block if player or channel is muted

4. Channel Permission — Verify player can speak in this channel

5. Anti-Bot — Check if player meets chat cooldown requirements

6. Chat Game — Intercept message if a chat game is active

7. Moderation Filters — Run the following filters in order:

   • Anti-Spam — Check message delay and similarity

   • Anti-Advertising — Check for URLs and IPs

   • Swear Filter — Check for blocked words and patterns

   • Anti-Caps — Check caps percentage

   • Cloud Filter — Check against remote word lists

   • AI Filter — Optional AI-powered content analysis (async)

If a message fails any filter, the configured action is taken (cancel, warn, censor, etc.). Infraction points are tracked inline when filter violations are detected.

Bypass Permissions

Each filter has a bypass permission for staff:

Permission	Bypasses
lpcpro.bypass.spam	Anti-spam filter
lpcpro.bypass.caps	Anti-caps filter
lpcpro.bypass.advertising	Anti-advertising filter
lpcpro.bypass.filter	Swear/profanity filter
lpcpro.bypass.grammar	Auto grammar corrections
lpcpro.bypass.mute	Mute restrictions
lpcpro.slowmode.bypass	Channel slowmode

The bypass-moderation group property in advanced/groups.yml is loaded from config but is not currently checked by the moderation pipeline. Use the individual bypass permissions above to grant filter bypass to staff.

Staff Spy

Staff can monitor messages that were silently filtered:

Permission	Description
lpcpro.spy.silent	See messages that were cancelled by filters (visible only to sender)
lpcpro.spy.pm	See all private messages
lpcpro.spy.channel	See messages in all channels

Message Deletion

With ProtocolLib installed, staff can delete individual messages from chat:

Permission	Description
lpcpro.chat.delete	Click the [X] button to delete any message

Messages are removed from the chat window of all players who received them.
