SecurityBot's chat filters are designed to protect your community from scams, spam, and impersonation attempts by automatically scanning messages in real time. These tools help you enforce trust and safety without requiring constant manual moderation.

This section explains how to configure and manage the various filters available, including:

* Blocking unauthorized crypto addresses (ADA, EVM, BTC)
* Filtering unapproved domains and Discord invites
* Preventing impersonation via reserved names and protected avatars
* Controlling where filtered messages are allowed

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Only admins can manage filter settings. Check [SecurityBot Admin](/securitybot-knowledge-hub/bot-guide/administering-securitybot/securitybot-admin.md) to review your current configuration.
