Short answer
How does a Telegram captcha bot stop spam accounts?
Group Gate (@GroupGateProBot) mutes each new member until they tap one I'm human button. A member who does not tap within 5 minutes is removed and can join again later. It needs the Ban users and Delete messages rights. The check is free for every group; Pro gives 10 minutes and a link filter.

Key terms
- Captcha bot
- A bot that asks new group members to prove they are human before they can write. Group Gate uses a single button tap, not a picture puzzle.
- Group Gate (@GroupGateProBot)

The problem
Admins cannot watch the chat all day. By the time someone deletes a spam post, the members have already seen it.
