Telegram bot for exclude bots from group chats

Chat control bot for telegram

Bot helps protect your telegram group chat from simple bots. Bot prohibits a new user from write messages and read history until the user confirms that they are not a bot.

It sends a message to group chat to confirm that the user is not a bot. The user will be removed from group chat if they does not confirm that they is not a bot within 24 hours.

A confirmation message will also be deleted from group chat if it was successfully confirmed or after user was deleted by inactivity.
