Enable moderation and choose filters
Turn on auto-moderation and pick what gets removed — links, ads, forwards, stop-words.
Updated: July 24, 2026
Moderation keeps your group clean automatically. It works in groups and supergroups (channels have no member chat to moderate).
Steps
- In the panel or Mini App, open Moderation.
- Turn moderation on for the bot.
- Choose which filters to enforce:
- Links — messages containing links
- Ads for other channels — external @mentions / channel promo
- Forwards — forwarded messages
- Stop-words — your own banned words list
- Save.
🔧 What happens under the hood
Every incoming group message is checked against your enabled filters. Admins and the owner are always skipped. When a message breaks a rule, the bot deletes it and applies your chosen penalty (see the cascade). Channels are never moderated — only groups and supergroups.
💡 Tip
Start with links + ads for other channels — that stops most spam. Add stop-words for your community's specific rules.
Next: set the penalty cascade.
