Antimat: Profanity Filter Bot

In a chat of a hundred people there is always someone who talks too roughly. An admin has no time to watch every message, and policing is tiring. The Antimat bot (Russian for anti-profanity) does it automatically: it finds swearing in text, deletes the message and blocks the offender from writing for a while.

The author calls it primitive, and there is honesty in that: the bot does one job and does not pretend to more.

What the bot does with swearing

The principle is simple. The bot scans text messages in the group. When it finds a curse, the message vanishes and the author gets a mute, meaning a limit on sending new messages. 🧹

It does not check pictures, stickers or voice messages. Only text is within its reach.

The mute grows with each violation

According to descriptions, the punishment escalates: the first violation gives a short pause of about fifteen minutes, and each next one adds roughly the same. It is a mild measure: the person is not banned but learns the rules quickly.

See the bot's menu for exact intervals and settings, since the author may change them with updates.

Connecting it to your group

1. Add the bot to the group.
2. Make it an admin with the right to delete messages and restrict members.
3. Test it. Type a test word and check that the bot reacts.
4. Open settings with /settings right in the group and choose what you need.

Without admin rights the bot will neither delete messages nor restrict anyone, so do not skip this step.

Five commands in the menu

• /faq. Answers to common questions.
• /stat. Weekly statistics and the number of word patterns in the database.
• /history. The bot's update history.
• /support. Contact the bot's administrator.
• /bots_list. Other bots by the author.

You can add your own words, as the description says. It helps when a chat has its own banned expressions. 🔧

Where the bot gets it wrong

Every automatic filter makes mistakes. Russian profanity changes form, and a perfect list cannot exist.

• Workarounds. Inventive people swap letters for symbols and digits.
• False positives. A harmless word sometimes looks like a banned one.
• Mild curses. Some rude words may slip through.
• Text only. Pictures and voice messages go unchecked.

Using it without conflict 🤝

Warn members before you switch it on. Pin a message with the rules: what gets deleted and how long the mute lasts. That way nobody is surprised.

For chats with children and teenagers such a filter is especially useful, while for friendly adult hangouts it is sometimes excessive. Decide by the tone of your community.

What to do while the bot works

Once the swearing routine is handled, the admin has time for what matters more: welcoming newcomers, answering questions, keeping discussion topics alive. That is how a community grows.

Once a week, look at /stat: the numbers show how many messages the bot removed and hint whether tuning is needed. 📊

The bot removes rude words, but it will not stop an argument, bullying or insults written politely. That takes a living person.

The best approach combines automation with clear rules: the bot takes the routine, and the admin handles disputed cases. ✅
