Telegram channels have become a powerful platform for communication, information dissemination and earnings. In this article, you will learn about the causes of spam, ways to protect your channel, including Telegram rules, methods to combat unwanted activity and tools to maintain subscriber comfort.
Recommendations and tools to protect against spam
The main ways to protect against spam in telegram
Telegram is known for its extensive capabilities for creating channels and groups, but like any popular platform, it is prone to spam problems that can harm the channel and interaction with subscribers. To effectively combat this threat, let's look at ways to configure access rights, automate control, and prevent spam.
Setting up access rights
The basic step in channel protection is to regulate access rights. Telegram has different levels of user action management available, which helps limit the activity of spammers.
- Restriction on sending messages. In channels, subscribers cannot send messages by default, and for groups, you can set a time limit for new users to send messages.
- Verification of participants. In open groups and channels, set up automatic verification of new members to exclude bots and spammers before they start activity.
Telegram bots are a modern method of protection against spam
- Telegram supports the integration of bots, which can greatly simplify channel management. BOT-T, for example, offers an automated application acceptance bot that processes user requests in a channel or chat. This not only frees the administrator from routine tasks, but also increases protection against spam.
- The application for membership accepted by the bot reduces the likelihood of spammer activity, and you can even set up sending welcome messages to new members.
Captcha is a sure method of filtering out bots
The BOT-T bot designer also offers a ready–made solution - the captcha module, it is quite easy to set it up.
- To add a captcha, you must already have a bot created in the system, and to set up a captcha, go through the bot's desktop to the "Paid settings" section, then to "Access Modules" and select "Access after entering the captcha".
- In addition, the service offers to customize the captcha input design! To configure, click on the appropriate button and enter the desired information using a unique text editor.
Conclusion
Effective protection of a Telegram channel or group from spam requires a comprehensive approach: setting up access rights, using moderator bots, filtering messages and constant interaction with subscribers will help create a safe environment. Compliance with security measures and regular monitoring of activity also remain important elements of protecting your channel.
In what situations can a captcha help out?
- Imagine a situation where you are voting in a closed resource and unscrupulous users will want to try to cheat votes by repeatedly sending messages with a choice – the presence of a captcha module will slow down the rate of vote fraud and make it less effective, but a captcha will not help get rid of "live" detractors at all.
- A captcha is an excellent method of protection against spambots, for example: a greeting bot provides access to certain resources - entering a captcha before accessing a resource allows you to make sure that the request comes from a person, and not from a spam bot.
