Moderator: Keep Your Chat Clean

In a busy chat, order depends on people who stay awake. One night of flooding and the admin sorts through dozens of messages in the morning. Moderator Bot takes part of that work: it welcomes newcomers, watches language and helps remove troublemakers. 🧹

It is built for group chats and suits admins who want a simple helper rather than a machine with a hundred settings.

What Moderator does

The description calls the bot an assistant for admins. The feature set is compact and clear.

• Greeting. A new member gets a message upon joining.
• Warnings and bans for profanity. It warns first, then bans.
• Statistics. It keeps count of messages and banned members.
• Ban voting. The community decides together with the admin.

Command details are available via /help. The interface comes in Russian and English.

Connecting it without fuss

1. Add the bot to your group by searching its name.
2. Make it an admin. Without these rights it cannot delete messages or ban.
3. Test the greeting: join the chat with a spare account.
4. Explain the rules to members so a ban is not a surprise.

Admin rights are granted the same way as for people: through the group admin list, choosing the bot by name.

Ban voting: fairer, but not perfect

The idea is that members themselves decide whether to keep a violator. This takes some conflict off the admin and shows that the rules belong to everyone.

Voting has a weak spot, though: a tight-knit group can push out an inconvenient person who broke nothing. Give the right to start a vote only to trusted members and keep the final word for yourself.

Setting up gentle moderation

Hard filters annoy people, and soft ones work better. A few principles keep the chat from turning into barracks.

• Warn, then ban. One person who lost their temper should not be thrown out instantly.
• Pin the rules: what counts as profanity and what follows.
• Glance at statistics. If bans are too frequent, the rules need review.
• Keep a human moderator. A bot does not grasp context, jokes or sarcasm.

What it will not replace

Moderator's features target basic order. If you need entry captcha, advanced anti-spam or member reputation, look for a tool with those abilities or combine several.

The bot also cannot protect against scammers who write in private messages. Warn members that admins never ask for money or SMS codes.

Who it suits

Admins of interest chats, neighborhood and city chats, student and gaming communities. Anywhere people talk emotionally and swearing shows up more than you would like.

If your chat is private and made of five friends, you don't need a bot. If there are hundreds of members, it saves nerves and hours.

Start with gentle settings and watch for a week. Then tighten or loosen the rules based on what actually happens.
