Telegram DirectoryA group stays friendly when the admin sets simple rules and uses the tools Telegram provides. According to Telegram's FAQ, for large groups you can turn on Aggressive Anti-Spam, which uses Telegram's full set of anti-spam tools, and you can require join requests for new members. It also mentions group permissions, a Recent Actions list of the last 48 hours, and that an owner who wants to leave should pick a new owner at the same time.
Set up
- Write the rules in the group description and pin a welcome message.
- Decide whether people can join freely or must send a join request.
- Set default permissions: who may send links, pictures or polls.
- Appoint a second admin so that the group does not depend on one person.
When there is trouble
Remove spam at once, warn once for rudeness and then remove. Keep notes on why. Do not argue in public.
Keep it alive
Post one useful thing a week, welcome new members and end dead threads. See our group admin messages.
