¶ 🔂 Filter Behavior
Filter Behavior determines how multiple filters work together when you have more than one filter activated. This setting controls the logical relationship between your selected filters.
¶ Two Matching Modes
You can choose between two different filter matching behaviors:
¶ 1. Match ONE Activated Filter (OR Logic) - Default
Delete messages that match AT LEAST ONE of your activated filters.
How it works: If a message meets the criteria of ANY single filter you've selected, it will be deleted. This is a more flexible and inclusive approach.
Example: If you activate:
- Filter 3 (Contains Links)
- Filter 11 (Author is Bot)
Then the bot will delete messages that either contain links OR are from bots (or both). A message only needs to match one condition to be deleted.
Best for:
- Catching a wide variety of unwanted content
- Removing different types of messages with a single config
- More aggressive cleanup scenarios
¶ 2. Match ALL Activated Filters (AND Logic)
Delete messages that match ALL of your activated filters simultaneously.
How it works: A message must meet the criteria of EVERY filter you've selected to be deleted. This is a more strict and precise approach.
Example: If you activate:
- Filter 3 (Contains Links)
- Filter 11 (Author is Bot)
Then the bot will delete messages that both contain links AND are from bots. A message must satisfy both conditions to be deleted.
Best for:
- Very specific targeting of certain message types
- Avoiding accidental deletion of wanted content
- Precise cleanup scenarios where you want exact matches
¶ Default Setting
ℹ️ Info: The default filter behavior is set to "Match ONE activated filter" (OR logic). This is the most commonly used setting as it provides broader coverage.
¶ Choosing the Right Behavior
- Use "Match ONE" when you want to cast a wider net and remove various types of messages
- Use "Match ALL" when you need surgical precision and want to target very specific messages
- You can change this setting at any time without affecting your other configuration options
