Captcha at the door, anti-raid, comment moderation

Your channel, protected — without a human moderator

The bot meets every join request with a captcha, turns away bots and known spammers before they get in, stops raid surges at the door, and clears comment spam on its own. You run the content, not the night-shift ban hammer.

What is channel protection in AdminHub?

Channel protection is a set of automatic barriers against bots and spam around a Telegram channel and its comment chat. At the door, the bot shows each applicant a captcha right inside the join flow and turns away known spam accounts; when join requests surge, anti-raid declines everything for a cooling-off period. In comments, filters (links, invites, forwards, mentions, phones, stop-words) and anti-duplicate run with automatic mute and ban by threshold, and spam that slips past the rules is caught by AI. The bot does all of this around the clock — no human moderator and no extra services.

Channel protection

Barriers that run themselves

The door, the surge and the comments — three places spam lives. The bot closes all three without you.

Captcha at the door

Each applicant is checked right inside the join flow — a native Mini App. When Telegram hands the bot no request it can answer, the check falls back to a captcha in the bot DM; an account that has blocked your bot is the one profile this door does not stop.

  • Inside the join flow
  • Native Mini App
  • A DM captcha as the fallback
  • Solve it, you are in

Known-spammer screening

Every request is checked against a database of known spam accounts. Anyone on the list is declined automatically, before the captcha even shows.

  • Checked against a spam-account database
  • Auto-decline
  • Before the captcha
  • No manual banning

Anti-raid

When requests arrive in a surge, it is almost always a bot attack. Past the threshold the bot declines every request for a cooling-off period.

  • Requests-per-window threshold
  • Declines, does not queue
  • Lifts after the cooling-off
  • Threshold is platform-wide

Comment moderation

In the channel chat the bot removes junk by rule: links, invites, forwards, mentions, phone numbers, stop-words.

  • Links and invites on by default
  • Forwards and mentions
  • Phone numbers
  • Your own stop-word list

Anti-duplicate

The same text three times in five minutes — the message is deleted and its author muted. Rate limiting itself is Telegram native slow mode, not something this adds.

  • Three repeats in five minutes
  • Delete and mute
  • Escalation to a ban applies to rule filters
  • Penalty thresholds are configurable

AI for the clever spam

Spam that gets past the rules is cleaned up by AI. Every bot action lands in a log, and the rules are tuned per channel.

  • AI spam check
  • Action log
  • Per-channel rules
  • On in a couple of taps

Three steps to a protected channel

Connect the bot, turn protection on — it runs itself.

  1. Give the bot admin rights

    Add your bot to the channel and its comment chat as admin with the rights to ban and delete messages. That is what lets it decline requests and clear spam.

  2. Turn protection on

    In the Mini App choose what to enable: the captcha at the door, anti-raid, comment filters. Comment moderation starts off. Stop-words and penalty thresholds are yours to set.

  3. Channel on guard

    From there the bot handles it: requests pass the captcha, spammers are turned away, comment junk is removed on its own. You watch the log and change the rules any time.

Protection questions

Do I need a separate moderator?

No. The captcha, spammer screening, anti-raid and comment filters run on the bot around the clock. A human moderator is only needed if you want to step in yourself — the bot stays out of your way.

What does a person see at the door?

A quick "confirm you are human" check right inside the join flow — a single tap. Real people pass in a second, bots do not.

What about false positives — will it turn real people away?

The comment barriers are yours to tune: stop-words, allowed domains, and how many violations lead to a mute or a ban. At the door the bot errs towards letting people in — if the check cannot be delivered, the request is approved rather than declined.

Does it work on older Telegram versions?

The native captcha runs inside the join flow whenever Telegram hands the bot a request it can answer; otherwise the check falls back to the bot DM. One caveat: if that DM cannot be delivered because the applicant has blocked the bot, the request is approved instead.

Can I tune it for my channel?

Yes, in the comments. Enable the filters you want, keep your own stop-word and allowed-domain lists, and set how many violations lead to a mute and a ban. The anti-raid rate is the one setting shared across the whole platform.

How much does it cost?

Protection runs on your own bot and is part of AdminHub. There is no separate plan for it — no barrier is locked behind Pro.
