ModCheck vs Fossabot
Fossabot matches patterns. ModCheck reads meaning.
What Fossabot is good at
Fossabot is the fast, free favourite for chat ops: commands, timers, a deep blocked-terms engine, spam filters and Nukes for mass cleanup. Excellent at the mechanical work.

What Fossabot misses
No banned word. No pattern to match. Just a message that only reads wrong once you know what's happening on stream. That's the gap a judge fills.

Chat already knows the tricks
A word list matches text. A regex matches text. So chat stops typing the text: leetspeak the slur, space out the threat, write the link as words. ModCheck reads what a message means, not how it's spelled, so the costume doesn't help.
not_a_fan you f4gg0t lmao 😂
a slur spelled around the word list
ratio_andy no skill bro just k y s already
spaced out so the blacklist can't match
totally_real better stream over at kappa (dot) gg slash me
a link typed as words to dodge the regex
Keep it for commands. Out-moderate it everywhere else.
It matches patterns you define. The catch: the same message is fine in a hype moment and a pile-on when you're tilted, and a pattern can't tell the difference.
Keep Fossabot for commands and bulk filters. On the rows that decide moderation, ModCheck catches what no pattern can express.
