Tips, guides and analytics for Telegram channel owners
You can't scrape another channel's subscribers — Telegram shows them only to admins. Your own audience you can collect in full and export to Excel, bots, deleted accounts and join links included.
Read article →Facebook lets a Page block countries. Telegram doesn't, and no bot can see where a member is. What it can see is the alphabet of their name — enough to stop most foreign-name join waves.
Read article →Approval-only stops nobody walking in unannounced, and tells you nothing about who is knocking. Where requests live, what the requester sees, and how to clear a queue of four hundred without approving bots by hand.
Read article →A thousand subscribers overnight, reach cut in half by lunchtime, an advertiser booked for tomorrow. What TGuard does about that — and everything else it does.
Read article →Spam in a group is rarely just links — it's sticker floods, emoji walls, premium-emoji ads and repeats. Give each type its own rule set to log, delete, or ban, and let it work on its own.
Read article →Combot runs the group chat — analytics, triggers, CAS bans — and does it well. What it cannot see is a channel: 400 accounts arriving overnight is not a message anyone posted.
Read article →Group Help gives you every switch inside one group, down to twenty custom roles. The one question it cannot answer from in there: which eleven channels banned this account last month.
Read article →ChatKeeper gives you 32 filters, triggers and a reputation system to run the life of a chat. A reputation score starts at a member's first message — and half the trouble in Telegram never sends one.
Read article →Free bots filter text, and for text spam that's enough. The three things none of them see: accounts joining in bursts, comment threads they were never added to, and a sender's ban history everywhere else.

Read article →The old advice was one bot for moderation and a second for protection. TGuard now filters what gets posted and blocks the accounts posting it — and where a classic management bot still earns its place.
Read article →Telegram bans channels — but almost never for the reason owners fear. What actually triggers a ban, how report threats work, and why your subscriber list is the real risk factor.

Read article →Posting, comments, giveaways, analytics and bot protection — what each task needs. A practical roundup of bots for running a Telegram channel, and which to install first.

Read article →Telegram ranks channels by keyword match, subscriber count, and ERR. Bots inflate the second while destroying the third — a combination that pushes you down even as your numbers grow.
Read article →Spam bots don't announce themselves — they just drag your ERR down. TGuard identifies them through cross-channel ban history and blocks them automatically, even after they've passed captcha.
Read article →50 new subscribers per minute, middle of the night, no ad running. TGuard SOS mode activates aggressive protection instantly — a hard cap of 10 joins per 60 seconds with one tap.
