Tanjiro Kamado: keep your group in order

A small group is easy to keep tidy by hand. Once it grows to a few hundred members, spammers, flooders and late-night advertisers show up. Tanjiro Kamado is a group management bot that takes some of that routine off your plate. ⚔️

It is named after the hero of a hugely popular anime series, which fits a long Telegram tradition of moderation bots with anime names. They tend to share a feature set and differ in details and reliability.

What moderation bots usually handle

The full list of Tanjiro Kamado modules lives behind /help, so start there. To set expectations, these are the jobs bots of this kind typically cover.

• Punishments. Ban, kick and temporary mute for rule breakers.
• Warnings. A warn system: after a set number of warnings a member is restricted automatically.
• Welcome messages. A greeting for newcomers with the chat rules.
• Filters. Auto replies or deletion of messages containing specific words.
• Anti-flood. Limits for people sending dozens of messages in a row.
• Notes and rules. Saved texts you can pull up with a single command.

Set up in five minutes

1. Start the bot in a private chat with /start to make sure it responds.
2. Add it to your group from the members menu or the bot's own button.
3. Make it an admin. Without admin rights it cannot delete messages or restrict anyone.
4. Open /help and go through the modules your chat actually needs.
5. Test with a second account. Ask a friend to break a rule and watch how the bot reacts. 🧪

Grant only the rights it needs

The classic admin mistake is ticking every permission at once. A moderation bot needs to delete messages and ban users. It rarely needs the right to appoint other admins.

If the bot ever stops working or its account ends up in the wrong hands, extra permissions become a hole in your chat's security. A minimal set keeps that risk small. 🔒

Before you rely on it

Tanjiro Kamado was widely used, and bot directories credit it with hundreds of thousands of users. Activity is much lower now: Telegram statistics show a few dozen people starting it each month. That is a good reason to test it carefully before handing it a large group.

• Support. The bot has a separate support chat linked in its profile. Ask there if a command does nothing.
• Backup plan. Keep at least one human moderator around so the chat is covered if the bot goes silent.
• Keep copies. Save your rules and filter lists somewhere safe so you can move them quickly to another bot.

Who it suits

Small and mid-sized communities around games, anime, study groups or hobbies that want basic moderation tools without a complex setup. The anime theme is a nice touch for fandom chats. 🌸

For large public groups under constant spam attacks, a moderator with active development and fast support is the safer pick.
