Moderate donation messages live
A donation message appears on screen and may be read aloud to your whole community. Without moderation, one malicious message can ruin a stream or cause problems with your platform's rules. DonoLink filters messages before they appear, with simple and effective settings.
Set up moderation
- Open the global settings in the alert editor.
- Enable the profanity filter and choose the mode.
- Add your own words and enable link hiding.
- Set the minimum amount and maximum message length.
The profanity filter
The filter detects swear words using a built-in dictionary and your own word list. Choose what happens when a word is found: it is replaced by an emoji, by a random happy word, or the whole message is hidden. The donation itself is always recorded.
Other protections
Combine them to suit your community:
- Link hiding to avoid ads and dubious sites.
- A minimum amount for a message to be shown and read.
- A maximum length to avoid walls of text.
- Text-to-speech anti-spam protection.
Act during the stream
If a message slips through, skip the current alert from the dashboard or the Stream Deck plugin. Pause the queue to regain control. Then add the word to your list for next time.
A faithful preview
The alert editor applies the same filters in its preview. You see exactly what your community will see before enabling a setting.
Frequently asked questions
Does the filter block the donation?
No. The donation is always recorded; only the message is changed or hidden on screen and in text-to-speech.
Can I add my own words?
Yes. Add a custom list on top of the built-in dictionary.
Can I skip an alert live?
Yes, from the dashboard or a Stream Deck, without losing the donation.
