Group Shield — Telegram bot

What it does

What Group Shield does

Group Shield runs as @WordRaceGroupBot. Add it as a group admin with permission to delete messages and restrict members. Every switch starts off. An admin must send /links on, /clean on or /flood on to enable that rule.

With /links on, the bot deletes messages with links from non-admins, including links in captions. /clean on removes join and leave messages. /flood on mutes a non-admin who sends 5 messages in 10 seconds for 10 minutes. Use off instead of on to disable a switch, and /status to see the current settings.

Admins are never checked. Bots and messages sent as a channel are skipped too. The link rule uses links Telegram marks in new messages; a bare @mention isn't a link. Edits aren't checked, so adding a link to an old message won't trigger deletion. These rules don't stop all spam.

Privacy

What the bot stores

From the bot's own privacy notes.

The bot stores group settings and Pro status, allowed domains and blocked words. It records member IDs and message timestamps for flood checks, along with its own mutes and temporary exemptions.
It also stores source tags and counters. Payment support messages are stored as text. Ordinary group message contents aren't saved in the group tables.

FAQ

Questions about Group Shield

Why isn't the bot deleting my test link?

Check that /links is on and the bot can delete messages. Test with a regular member account using a new message. Admins are never checked, and edits aren't handled.

What does Pro cost?

Pro is optional and costs 150 Stars once per group. It adds an allowlist of 20 domains, up to 50 blocked words or phrases and your own warning text, with no footer. The switches stay free.

Can approved websites still be shared?

With Pro, add a domain using /allow example.com. Its subdomains also pass the link filter. Other links in the same message can still cause deletion, and the word filter remains separate.

Does turning links off disable blocked words?

No. In a Pro group, the word filter runs as soon as an admin adds a word. Use /block to view the list and /block remove followed by the word or phrase to remove it.
