Nomade Help Bot: tidy Telegram groups

A group grows, and along with people come ads, links to dubious sites and the same question repeated forever. Nomade Help Bot takes over the admin routine: it cleans the chat, greets newcomers and keeps order. 🧹

Its profile describes it as a bot for management, protection and growth of a Telegram group. It works both as a mini app and as a regular bot that you add to a chat.

What the bot does in a group

The command list is long. The main jobs visible in it:

• Roles. /promote and /demote grant and remove admin rights.
• Penalties. /unmute lifts a restriction from a user, /unbanall unbans everyone at once.
• Word filter. /addblack puts a word on the blacklist, /rmblack takes it off.
• Welcome. /setwelcome sets the message for newcomers.
• Notes. /setnote and /delnote save and delete answers to frequent questions.
• Protection. /expose turns the security system on or off.

Cleaning the chat in one move

The most practical part for a moderator is the purge group of commands. When spam floods in, deleting messages one by one takes forever.

1. Reply to the first message you want gone with /purgefrom.
2. Move to the last unwanted message and send /purgeto.
3. The bot deletes everything between the two marks.

To erase everything from a chosen message up to the present moment, a single /purge as a reply to that message is enough.

Profiles, ranking and a game

Besides moderation, the bot has a social side. Members can fill in a profile with /profile and add a description with /setbio. The /afk command marks you as away.

/topusers shows the most active members, and /startlife joins an in-bot game. That helps liven up a quiet chat. 🎮

There is also a group ranking: /ranking shows the top five, /rank reports your group's position and votes, and /editgroup edits the description on the ranking page.

Adding it without surprises

1. Open the bot profile and press Start.
2. Add it to your group from the members list.
3. Give it admin rights, otherwise it cannot delete messages or restrict users.
4. Set up the welcome message and the word blacklist.
5. Test everything in a throwaway group before enabling protection in the main one.

What an admin should keep in mind

Any bot with admin rights sees messages and can control them. Grant only the rights the work requires, and skip the permission to add other admins unless you trust the bot. 🔐

• Start the word blacklist small, or you may delete normal messages by accident.
• Automatic filters sometimes err, so leave people a way to contact a human moderator.
• If the bot stays silent, send it /start. Sometimes it goes idle without activity.
• Follow the project's news channel for update announcements.

The bot suits communities that want less routine moderation and more time for real conversation. 🤝
