Discord Community AI-Assisted Spam Detection and Human-AI Collaborative Management Workflow

Workflow Name

Discord Community AI-Assisted Spam Detection and Human-AI Collaborative Management Workflow

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically scans the latest messages in Discord channels and leverages an AI text classifier to accurately identify potential spam content (such as advertisements and promotional messages). Through a human-AI collaborative approach, suspected spam messages are forwarded to community administrators for manual review. Administrators can choose from preset actions (delete and warn the user, warn only, or take no action), enabling efficient, flexible, and consistent community content management. Additionally, the workflow supports batch processing and concurrent execution of sub-workflows to enhance processing efficiency and prevent workflow bottlenecks.

Core Problems Addressed

• Automated identification and filtering of spam within the community to reduce administrator workload
• Avoiding excessive bans caused by false positives through manual verification to ensure accurate judgments
• Providing diverse handling options to balance community order and user experience
• Supporting cross-channel batch deletion of spam messages to maintain a clean community environment

Application Scenarios

• Automated content moderation and spam management for Discord communities or servers
• Community management teams seeking a balance between automation and manual review
• Medium to large online communities aiming to improve management efficiency and reduce repetitive tasks

Main Process Steps

1. Scheduled task trigger to periodically fetch the latest messages from specified Discord channels.
2. Use a deduplication node to filter out already processed messages, ensuring each message is handled only once.
3. Group messages by user to batch process multiple messages from the same user, reducing notification frequency.
4. Utilize an AI text classifier to determine whether messages contain spam content (advertisements or promotional spam).
5. Label messages as “spam” or “non-spam” based on classification results.
6. For suspected spam messages, send notifications with action options to community administrators, awaiting their decision on handling.
7. Automatically execute follow-up actions based on administrator choices: delete message and warn user, warn only, or take no action.
8. Implement concurrent processing via sub-workflows to avoid blocking the review of other users’ messages due to manual decisions.
