A guide to your group's protection.

In Captcha, choose how newcomers prove they are human. The check can also be used for join requests: a successful applicant can be admitted automatically. Choose the captcha and the place for its messages there.

AntiRaid watches for unusual waves of newcomers and applies the response selected for the group. Twin protection can flag accounts that appear related; administrators should review a warning before deciding what to do.

Use the reaction settings to limit reactions from people who have not joined and to respond to repeated reaction spam. Ordinary reactions from members remain available according to your choices.

AntiSpam checks whether a message is likely to be spam. In its menu, choose where it works, the response, and whether to check text in photos. Trusted domains here apply to this spam check. AI can make mistakes, so review its actions if something legitimate is caught.

Links and forwards is for explicit rules: websites, Telegram links, @mentions, forwards and quoted messages can each have their own action and exceptions. These rules work independently of AntiSpam. A trusted domain in AntiSpam does not override a direct link rule. Older groups may still show a quick link filter here until it is disabled or replaced.

In Links and forwards, use the outsider @username rule for accounts outside the group. AntiTegAll is for disruptive waves of mentions. You can choose the response in the corresponding menu.

AntiFlood responds to a rapid burst of messages and removes messages from the burst, including those sent before the limit was reached. Text limits can also catch excessively long or repeated messages; Zalgo protection deals with distorted text.

Use Forbidden words for message text and the name filter for displayed names. Set the desired response in each section; review exceptions if normal conversations are affected.

In Media protection, choose which photos, videos, stickers, files and other kinds of content are allowed. Messages sent via bots can be handled separately, with exceptions for bots you trust.

AntiNSFW lets you choose what media to examine and set separate responses for messages and profile photos. AI can make mistakes; review unexpected decisions. The bot cannot remove another person's profile photo.

AntiCrash checks suspicious text and media and applies the action selected in its menu. If a legitimate file is caught, an administrator should review the case.

In Moderation → Administrator calls, enable @admin so members can call available administrators. Enable .report if members should be able to report a specific message by replying to it. Administrator names are not shown in the chat, and anonymous administrators are not identified.

In Moderation, configure commands and roles. A role can allow selected bot actions, but it cannot grant Telegram administrator powers that a person or the bot does not have.

Warnings expire after 30 days. The repeated violations setting can increase the response when someone breaks selected rules again within the chosen period. Use Info to review active warnings and their expiry.

Audience tracks activity after data collection begins. An administrator can run a kick for members inactive over a chosen period. If there is not enough history yet, the bot shows the earliest available date instead of guessing.

Choose a topic for captcha and notifications where the group settings offer one. A separate topic can be selected for the admin log; the main topic remains available.

Connect a separate log chat in Log chat settings. It records moderation actions and relevant deleted or edited messages, so administrators can review what happened. Choose the log topic if that chat is a forum.

Use Rules to publish guidance for members. Night mode applies the group's selected restrictions during its configured hours.
