Captcha

Verifies that new group members are real people and not spam bots.

How does it work?

  1. A new user joins the group
  2. The bot sends them a message with a private link
  3. In private, the bot displays an emoji captcha
  4. The user selects the correct emoji
  5. If correct → they can write in the group
  6. If they fail (maximum attempts reached) → the configured action is triggered

Configuration

  1. /config → Select group → Captcha
  2. Enable/Disable — Toggle on/off
  3. Timeout — Maximum time to solve (default 60 seconds)
  4. Maximum attempts — Number of attempts before the action (default 5)

Notes

  • Bots added by admins are exempt
  • If the user does not solve the captcha in time, they are kicked
  • The captcha is solved in private (does not clutter the group chat)
