No Dice Bot: Dice-Free Chats

One person throws a die, the next answers with another die, a third adds darts, and suddenly ten animations have buried the actual discussion. If you run a group, you know the feeling. No Dice Bot deletes those messages for you, with no manual moderation.

It watches for messages that contain game emoji and removes them. Plain text stays where it is.

What it actually removes

The bot's own description is blunt: it deletes messages containing dice and darts. These are the animated emoji that Telegram can throw at random, showing a different result each time.

• Dice. The classic roll that lands on a number from one to six.
• Darts. A target with a dart that hits somewhere on the board.

Regular text, photos, stickers and replies are left alone. The bot does one narrow job, and that is its strength.

Why a group would want this

The 🎲 and 🎯 emoji are fun among a few friends. In a chat with thousands of members they become clutter: the feed gets longer, important messages sink, and newcomers scroll up forever to find what matters.

It shows most in work groups, study chats, announcement rooms and topic communities. Dice add nothing there, and moderators end up deleting them by hand.

There is another reason. Dice sometimes get used for giveaways where a roll is presented as a fair random pick. If you do not want that in your group, banning dice outright is the simplest answer.

Setting it up in a few minutes

Like any moderation bot, it needs permissions. Without the right to delete messages it can do nothing.

1. Open the bot and add it to your group.
2. Open the admin list of the group and promote the bot to administrator.
3. Enable the delete messages right. No other rights are needed.
4. Test it. Send a die from a spare account and confirm the message vanishes.

The security rule is the same for every bot: grant the minimum. A bot that clears dice has no use for banning members or inviting people.

About the donate command

The bot's command list contains /donate. It lets you send the author a donation if the bot saves you time. It is voluntary, and the removal of dice works the same either way.

The developer keeps a channel for project news. The bot has passed 340 thousand users, so plenty of group owners had the same itch.

When to skip it

If your chat is built around games, dice are part of the culture and the bot will get in the way. The same goes for groups that settle tabletop role-playing sessions with rolls.

Think about your members too. The bot deletes silently, and somebody may assume the message vanished because of a glitch. One line in the pinned message clears that up.

Tips for admins

• Write the rule down. A short line in the group description saves explanations.
• Check the rights. If the bot loses its delete permission it stops working, and you will not get a warning.
• Do not rely on it alone. Dice are only one source of noise, and spam needs other moderation settings.
• Watch for updates. Telegram adds new game emoji over time, so peeking at the developer channel is worthwhile.

It is a small tool that does exactly one thing. For anyone tired of removing dice by hand, that is enough.
