Never Spam Bot: Spam-Free Groups

In an open group spam arrives fast: links to easy money, mass mailings, bot-like accounts. Moderators have to delete messages and ban by hand, and readers leave. Never Spam Bot handles this automatically and without captchas. 🛡️ The bot has more than 226 thousand users.

Below is how it works and how to set it up step by step.

Only newcomers are watched

This is an anti-spam bot that checks new members exclusively. People who have been in the group for a while and chat are left alone, so ordinary conversation runs without interference.

A newcomer passes several trust stages. Once they pass, the bot stops watching them.

Multi-stage analysis

The bot analyzes the context of a newcomer's messages in several stages. According to the service description, hundreds of topics are considered: links, scams, advertising, media.

The service says it blocks 99 percent of spam with a very low false-positive rate. That is the developers' own figure, and real results depend on your group and language. The bot detects language automatically.

Mute instead of ban

The bot mutes offenders rather than banning them. That is an important difference: your member count does not drop, and an admin can give the person their voice back at any moment. 🔇

If the bot makes a mistake, a real person does not lose access forever and only gets a temporary restriction.

Setup in three steps

1. Grant rights. The bot needs permission to delete messages and restrict members.
2. Add the bot to the group. Do it after the rights are set.
3. Check that it works. Watch the first muted accounts.

If Telegram will not add the bot and shows nothing, the group may have hit its bot limit. Remove unused ones and try again.

Training commands

There are no commands in the menu, but admins use two directly in the group.

• /spam. Reply with it to missed spam so the bot learns.
• /notspam with a name. Lifts the restriction from a person the bot muted by mistake.

This feedback helps the bot adapt to your community. For hard cases you can message the developers privately. 💬

What else an admin should remember

No bot replaces a live moderator. Write clear group rules and pin them so members know what is allowed.

Review muted accounts from time to time: sometimes real people end up there and just need the rules explained.

Who it suits

Owners of open groups and communities where new members keep arriving. It is especially useful if you do not want to make people pass a captcha on entry.

If your group is closed and entry is by invitation, the need is smaller, but protection from accounts that arrive through a link still helps.
