HepBoatModeration that shows its work.
HepBoat keeps a record of everything it does: numbered infractions, archives of every purge, a mod-log that explains itself. And your whole server's behaviour lives in one YAML document - readable, versioned, restorable, applied live.

config one document, the whole server
If you can read this file, you know exactly what your server does.
Every setting is one YAML document. Dashboard forms patch only the keys they own, so your comments and hand-written sections survive every edit. Saves validate against the real schema before they can apply, every change gets a history entry with a diff and one-click restore, and the running bot picks it up within a second.
Guided forms when you want them, the raw editor when you don't - both write the same file, and neither one clobbers the other.

Scammers post artwork because word filters can't read it.
Teach HepBoat a scam image once - reply to it with a command, or drag it into the dashboard - and every later copy is deleted on sight, including recompressed, re-cropped, and re-posted-as-a-link versions. Optional OCR reads the text inside images and runs it through the word filters you already wrote.
Ships with a shadow mode that reports without deleting, so you can watch what it would have caught before you hand it the delete button.
autolevel + games the half members actually see
Moderation keeps a server safe. This keeps it alive.
Leveling with custom XP curves, role rewards, image rank cards, and importers for the bots you're leaving (MEE6, Lurkr, Amari and friends). A full per-server economy on top: daily streaks, slots, blackjack, roulette, horse racing, coinflip and rock-paper-scissors duels, server prediction bets, a role shop, and purchasable rank-card flair.
Every game is individually tunable, every payout table is fixed and published - the house edge is printed on the board, never hidden in a rigged coin. Opt-in public web leaderboards for both XP and riches.
plugins/ the manifest
Moderation with receipts
Warnings, mutes, timeouts, kicks and bans are numbered records - searchable, editable, reversible, and attributed to the moderator who acted. Timed actions expire themselves, even across restarts.
Filters that hold the line
Invites, domains, words, tokens, zalgo and caps, with per-level and per-channel rules. Bucket-based anti-spam escalates on its own; anti-raid watches join velocity on top.
Scams in images get caught too
Your mods teach the bot a scam image once; every recompressed, re-cropped copy after that is deleted on sight. Optional OCR reads the text inside images and runs it through your existing filters.
A log worth reading
94 action types, routed to the channels you choose, deduplicated and attributed. Bulk deletions become browsable web archives instead of channel spam.
Leveling done properly
XP tracks with custom curves, role rewards that come off when the XP goes away, image rank cards, importers for the bots you are leaving, and a public web leaderboard.
Your own commands
A small scripting DSL for custom commands and auto-responders - it can act, not just reply - with a dashboard workbench that validates as you type.
Ban networks
Share permanent bans across servers you trust, with per-network controls, or opt into the operator-curated global ban network.
Appeals built in
Banned users get a link to your custom appeal form on the way out; submissions land in a dashboard review queue with full history and approve/deny actions.
A full casino economy
Per-server currency with daily streaks, work and crime, slots, blackjack, roulette, horse racing, coinflip and rock-paper-scissors duels, server prediction bets, a role shop, and rank-card flair.
The everyday tooling
Welcome messages, join roles, role groups, sticky messages, channel content rules, bulk role sprays with confirmation, message archives, and reminders - the plumbing every server needs.
+ tags, starboard, honeypot traps, music, and an external web API - 21 plugins in all, each one optional.
dashboard an operator console, not a settings page
Everything below is a real page in the dashboard today. Moderators can also act without leaving Discord - warn, timeout, kick, or ban straight from the right-click menu, with a reason form so nothing fires from a stray click.
Config history
Every save is a version with a diff and a one-click restore. Nothing changes silently.
Diagnostics
Finds config that cannot fire: missing permissions, deleted channels, rules that reference roles that no longer exist.
Filter simulator
Paste a message, pick a member level, and see exactly which censor or spam rule catches it - before it goes live.
Permission studio
Resolve who can run which command where, with the same rule engine the bot uses, not a re-implementation.
Custom log formats
Re-template any of the 94 mod-log actions with live preview - your log reads the way your team talks.
Command workbench
Write custom-command scripts with validation as you type, or compose them in the visual builder.
lineage where this comes from
HepBoat is a ground-up rewrite of a bot in the rowboat lineage - the tooling that moderated some of Discord's largest communities. The rewrite kept the operator's mindset: every action is a record, every record is queryable, and nothing changes silently.
It runs as a hosted service, and the same platform can run fully white-label instances - your bot name, your avatar, your own dashboard subdomain - for communities that want their own.
Getting aboard
HepBoat access is $4.99 a month per server - and the shop can set up a fully white-label instance of your own. Sign in, subscribe, and you're live in minutes. If a payment ever lapses, the bot pauses; your config and history stay put.
