- Drill
- One practice session: a wave of generated lines played into the practice chat.
- Practice chat
- The sandboxed chat your mods work in. It is never posted to Twitch.
- Attack line
- A generated scam, spam, bot or placeholder-hate line that mods should remove.
- Banter line
- A harmless line from a curated pool that mods should leave alone.
- Tactic
- A family of attacks: fake giveaway links, follower and viewer spam, art and promo bots, and placeholder hate-raid lines (off by default).
- Trick
- A change that helps an attack slip past filters, such as caps, number swaps, stretched letters, spaced letters, dotted letters or look-alike letters.
- Caught
- An attack line a mod acted on.
- Slipped
- An attack line no mod removed within the slip window (9 seconds by default). Banter never slips.
- False ban
- A mod action on a banter line.
- Reaction time
- How long a mod took to act on a line after it appeared.
- Check AutoMod Status
- The Twitch feature that says whether a message would be permitted by your channel’s current AutoMod settings and blocked terms. ModScrim uses it to grade your filters.
- Graded by Twitch
- The grade came from Twitch’s own Check AutoMod Status.
- Local estimate
- The grade came from ModScrim’s own matcher: always in demo rooms, and on a real channel when Twitch’s hourly limit is used up.
- Blocked terms
- The words and phrases your channel blocks on Twitch. ModScrim sees only your public terms.
- AutoMod
- Twitch’s automatic filter, with category levels. ModScrim reads these levels and never changes them.
- Needs a bot rule
- A trick no blocked term can express, such as spaced letters, dotted letters or look-alike letters.
- Rule finder
- The code that proposes up to six blocked terms from the attack lines that got past your filters.
- Real-chat matches
- How many of your recent real chat lines a proposed term would match. It must be zero before you can push.
- Rejected term
- A proposed term that catches attacks but would also match a real chat line, shown with that line as the example.
- Fresh wave
- A new wave of 30 attack lines built with tricks the rule finder never saw, used to prove the new terms. Also called the held-out wave.
- Push
- Adding the terms you approved to your channel’s blocked terms on Twitch. Nothing is pushed without your approval.
- Undo
- Removing every term a drill’s push added. Terms that already existed are left alone.
- Kai (sim)
- A simulated co-mod for rehearsing alone. Always labelled, and scored separately.
- Join code
- Six random digits that let a mod join the current drill.
- Overlay
- The viewer-safe page you add to OBS as a Browser source. It only receives redacted data.
- Overlay key
- The private 32-character key in the overlay URL. Rotate it if the URL leaks.
- Reveal
- After a drill, which lines were attacks and which tricks they used. Visible in the console and to mods, never on the overlay.
- After-action report
- The summary of one drill: scores, grades, rules, proof and pushes.
- Report card
- The numbers-only part of the report, safe for the overlay and share links.
- Demo room
- A temporary private room with a sample channel, so you can run the whole loop without a Twitch account.
