Telegram Bot that figth against the spammer users that join groups to spam their annoying and unwanted info.

Important Notice: The Bot account @The_Anti_Join2Spam_Bot has been closed and has stopped working. The Bot was being hosted by the developer and was offered free for use in any telegram group, however, the Bot has reach more than 600 groups and that starts to affect the Bot functionality (response time) due to low resources of the host machine (and I can't afford to spend more money for a better host). Remember that it is an open-source Bot and anyone can get the source code, host it and create a new telegram account for it.

• To get working the Anti-spam, you must add me to a group ang give me Administration privileges to let me delete spam messages.

• Once I got Admin privileges, I'll watch for all new users that join the group and don't let them to publish messages that contains URLs until they have been in the group long as an specific time, and they have written an enough number of messages.

• The time that new users need to wait and the number of messages that they need to write before they can publish messages with URLs are, by default, 24 hours and 10 messages, but this values can be modified and configured by using the commands /set_messages and /set_hours.

• To preserve a clean group, I auto-remove messages related to me, after 5 minutes (except Spam detection messages and Admins calls).
