What is /filter-sync?
/filter-sync is an experimental feature that lets you automatically generate name-filters and PFP-filters from all members of a specific role. Once added, Hashbot will apply filters based on each member’s:
- Username
- Display name
- Profile picture
This feature is powerful but must be used with caution to avoid false positives.
Use Cases
- Automatically protect your team, moderators, or public figures
- Quickly generate filters without manually adding each name or image
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/filter-sync add <@role> | Add a role to the sync list — all current members’ names and PFPs are used |
/filter-sync remove <@role> | Stop syncing filters for a specific role |
/filter-sync list | View all roles currently being synced |
Potential Pitfalls
This feature is not recommended for roles with members who use common or generic names.Example
- Adding a user named Robert will block all future users with the name “Robert”
- Similarly, common avatars could create false positives in PFP filters
Best Practices
- Only sync roles with trusted, uniquely named users
- Always review filters after syncing using:
/name-filters list/pfp-filters list
- Avoid using this on public or large roles
- Prefer syncing Manager-only or core team roles
