Shieldy - A zero-config Telegram bot that fights spam in chats

Most of our Telegram communities that we carefully moderate experience huge waves of spammers (up to 50 bots added per day) who just join the groups, wait for a day and then unexpectedly send a spam message. I decided to fight it with a simple solution. As bots don't make any moves for the first hour or so, asking newcomers to do something to verify their humanity could be a great idea. So I've built it into a free bot and made it completely open source — https://github.com/backmeupplz/s.... Surprisingly, almost 99% of spam accounts get blocked before spammers can even notice. I've been using it for a while in my chats and thought it might be useful for somebody. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Shieldy is a must for all the telegram channel hosts, great job guys! I would like to offer you to publish an interview about Shieldy at https://startupradius.com/ please PM me at paul@startupradius.com for more details

Simple and elegant solution. Very cool! Congrats with the successful launch!

This thing is powerful. THANK YOU FOR BUILDING IT. DIE COMMIE BOTS!!!!!!

Hello I completely frustrated this bit has been blocking me from joining so many he groups I don’t spam people why is this happening for over a month now

This seems like something I could use.

Pros:

Free and nice Interface

Cons:

Easy to

This is great! Super fast and easy to use. I just tested it and A zero-config Telegram bot that fights spam in chats and it was very simple to see what it would look like across platforms, and much quicker to edit the copy too. Great job! 🙌

Looks like it really helpful tool for Telegram. Can't open the link though. Probably because im in Russia right now 😅

magnificent, brilliant, just what i need! Thank you!

"... otherwise you will be kicked. Thank you! (60 sec)" - this sound too rude... Is there anyway to update/change this message since we find this no appropriate to our community... It makes people entrance to the group very unpleasant and uncomfortable. As majority of newcomers prefer to stay quite and just read message rather than contribute posting a threat to kick them out looks horrible

Was very excited to find this bot initially, it was super easy to make it work, but then it started to scare our new users in a public chat that he'll "kick them out" if the wouldn't respond in 60 sec... I was trying to find how to change the message, but no luck. This message doesn't sound friendly at all, so have to delete it now and keep looking for alternatives.

Pros:

A good way to stop spam bots

Cons:

Very rude message that turns down all new and existing users without an option to change it

Howe can I use it in a Telegram group?

You have to allow us to disable the Capcha or to enable it , but you can't force us to use it in the group !!! this is not nice at all.
