ModCheck vs Nightbot
Nightbot runs your commands. ModCheck runs your moderation.
What Nightbot is good at
Nightbot is the command-and-timer workhorse: !socials, song requests, caps and link filters, blacklists and regex. Genuinely good at chat ops, and most channels already run it.
Side by side
The top rows, only ModCheck has. The rest, it does too.

| Spam, caps & link filtering | Yes | Yes |
| Commands, timers & loyalty | No | Yes |
What Nightbot 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.
Block unsolicited hints and spoilers during a blind playthrough
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. Not for moderation.
On moderation it's rules and regex. It can't tell a joke from a dig because it never sees the stream: the game, your mood, the last thing said.
Keep Nightbot for commands and timers - that's a different job and it does it well. For moderation, ModCheck wins every row that matters.
