Hayato: Moderation and Games for Chats

A chat of a hundred people gets dull if all it has is conversation. Hayato is a group bot that mixes moderation with a game layer: ranks, marriages, authority points and role-play commands. Admins add it to keep order and give members something to do.

Two bots in one

Hayato's description lists full profile personalization, moderation of the whole chat, ranks and marriages, song search on YouTube and RP commands. Order and entertainment sit side by side.

The author runs a separate news channel for updates, and the complete command list lives on a dedicated page, which also describes the VIP mode.

Commands you see right away

The bot's menu shows five main commands:

• /spin: the "farm", a daily game reward in points.
• /authority: your authority in the chat.
• /top: the ranking of members by authority.
• /help: a quick guide to the bot.
• /cmds: the full command list.

Authority and the top list turn a chat into a small game: members compete on activity and come back to check their place 📊.

How moderation works

For the bot to keep order, an admin adds it to the group and grants rights to delete messages and ban offenders. Without those rights moderation will not run.

Grant only what is needed. A bot with admin rights can see and change a lot, so trust it the way you would trust any new moderator.

What marriages and RP are for

Marriages and RP commands are a social game inside the chat: couples, acting "in character", titles. Big friendly chats and hobby groups enjoy that, where people bond over more than the group's topic.

If your chat is strict, for work or study, leave that part alone and use the bot for moderation only.

Setup in a minute

1. Open the bot and add it to your group.
2. Make it an admin with rights to delete messages and ban.
3. Send /cmds and see which features are available.
4. Try /spin to see how the farm works, then look at /top.
5. Decide if you want marriages and RP, and if not, do not promote them to members.

A good habit: announce in the chat that you are adding the bot and which rules it will enforce. Members take bans more calmly when they follow clear rules instead of arriving out of nowhere. After a week, look at the ranking and decide whether to keep the game side.

Things to weigh first

The bot has about 60 thousand users in the catalog, while monthly activity is far lower, in the hundreds. That is typical for game-style group bots, where most traffic comes from a handful of large chats.

Paid features are described in the VIP section on the project's page. Read the terms there, not in someone's retelling. Before you grant admin rights, check that you opened the bot from its official profile and not a look-alike name.
