The Guard Bot

The Guard is a Telegram bot made to help admins manage their groups.

Initially created to moderate The Devs Network.

NOTE: The Guard is still in alpha phase and is not ready for production

Setup

You need Node.js (> 8.1) to run this bot.

1. Create a bot via @BotFather and grab a token.
2. Clone this repository or downlaod zip.
3. Install dependencies via npm install.
4. Copy config.example.json to config.json, fill it properly and remove comments.
5. Start the bot via npm start.

Now you can add the bot as administrator to your groups.

Commands

Command	Role	Available at	Description
/admin	Master	Everywhere	Makes the user admin.
/unadmin	Master	Everywhere	Demotes the user from admin list.
/leave <name|id>	Master	Everywhere	Make the bot to leave the group cleanly.
/warn <reason>	Admin	Groups	Warns the user.
/unwarn	Admin	Everywhere	Removes the last warn from the user.
/nowarns	Admin	Everywhere	Clears warns for the user.
/getwarns	Admin	Everywhere	Shows a list of warns for the user.
/ban <reason>	Admin	Groups	Bans the user from groups.
/unban	Admin	Everywhere	Removes the user from ban list.
/addcommand	Admin	In-Bot	Create a custom command.
/removecommand <name>	Admin	In-Bot	Remove a custom command.
/staff	Everyone	Everywhere	Shows a list of admins.
/link	Everyone	Everywhere	Shows the current group's link.
/groups	Everyone	Everywhere	Shows a list of groups which the bot is admin in.
/report	Everyone	Everywhere	Reports the replied-to message to admins.
/commands	Everyone	In-Bot	Shows a list of available commands.
/help | /start	Everyone	In-Bot	How to use the bot.

All commands and actions are synchronized across all of the groups managed by the owner and they work with both replying and mentioning a user.

If used by reply, /ban and /warn would remove the replied-to message.

The bot is still in alpha phase so feel free to open issues and ask for a feature.
