Admin 360: Chat Moderator Bot

You open a new chat, and within an hour it is flooded with ad links and bot "sellers". Nobody wants to moderate by hand around the clock, and that is where Admin 360 comes in. 🛡

It is a moderator bot for Telegram group chats. It comes from the Emigrants 360 project, and its description points to a separate technical support group.

Spam stops at the door

The bot's main weapon is spam blocking. It removes unwanted messages, and you can build a whitelist of safe links so the bot leaves useful ones alone.

That matters. If you ban everything with a link, legitimate material from members suffers too. A whitelist solves it.

A captcha for newcomers

The bot has a captcha. A new member must pass a simple check and only then gets to write. Spam bots usually fail it.

The captcha can be turned off. That suits a small private chat where everyone knows each other.

A welcome message that holds links

The welcome text is editable. You can add chat rules there and pin links right inside the message.

• Rules. A newcomer sees at once what is allowed.
• Helpful links. For example, to a material archive or a community channel.
• Answers to common questions. You will not have to repeat them in the chat.

A clean feed: service messages and the anti-link button

The bot deletes system notifications such as "someone joined the group". They clog the feed, especially in a big chat, and hide live conversation.

If dozens of people join each day, this function saves a lot of screen space.

One button turns the removal of all links on or off. The mode helps when a spam attack hits or when a discussion needs no links at all.

When the trouble passes, simply return the earlier settings.

Connecting the bot to a chat

The steps are broadly the same for any moderator bot, but follow the bot's own prompts for details.

1. Open the bot and press Start.
2. Add it to your group and make it an administrator.
3. Grant the right to delete messages. Without it the bot cannot clean anything.
4. Set up the captcha, the welcome message and the link whitelist.
5. Test it. Join the chat from a spare account and see how everything looks.

Price and support

The developers call the bot completely free. After updates they asked existing users to open the bot and send /start so everything keeps working.

Questions can go to the project's support group, whose link sits in the bot's profile.

Moderating without overdoing it

The stricter the rules, the higher the chance of false positives. Start with mild settings and tighten them as needed. Tell members that an automatic check runs in the chat.

Remember that the bot helps, but a human moderator is still needed for disputed cases and for the atmosphere.
