Shieldy

What Shieldy does

Shieldy guards Telegram groups against spammers and bots. When a new member joins, the bot asks them to complete a captcha within a set period of time. Members who fail to pass are removed from the chat. To start, add @shieldy_bot to your group and give it admin rights.

Key features

• Captcha for newcomers — choose the captcha type, set the time limit, and customize the button text and message.
• Greetings — welcome users who pass the test, with optional buttons, and auto-delete greetings after a chosen interval.
• Spam protection — Combot Anti-Spam (CAS) integration, automatic deletion of channel links, and an "under attack" mode that kicks all newcomers.
• Member control — trust or ban specific users, restrict newcomers to text-only messages for the first 24 hours, and ban or kick accounts based on Telegram ID.
• Skip options — skip the captcha for old accounts or users who have already passed it in another chat.

Setup and commands

Configure Shieldy with commands such as /language, /captcha, /timeLimit, /restrict, /greeting, /cas, and /setConfig. Use /help to see the full list and /viewConfig to review your current settings.
