Channel discussions

Channel discussions are the linked group where people comment under channel posts. Wardy can protect those comments, but this mode is not the same as a regular group.

What is different​

  • People often comment from the channel itself, so CAPTCHA is not used in channel discussions.
  • Welcome / CAPTCHA flows belong to regular groups only.
  • Wardy can still moderate comments with filters, flood limits, silent spam protection, incidents, and related tools.
  • Channel discussions can show an automatic rules message under new posts.

How to connect​

  1. Link a discussion group in the channel settings in Telegram.
  2. Add Wardy to the discussion group and grant admin rights.
  3. Run /activate as the owner.
  4. Publish a new post or run a link check in the admin panel.

If the channel is unlinked, the community can return to regular-group mode after synchronization. If you link a channel again and Wardy does not detect it right away, reconnect the bot, run a link check in the panel, or publish a new channel post.

Important

Root channel posts are not moderated as comments. Protection applies to discussion comments.

In short

Channel discussions protect comments; CAPTCHA stays for regular groups.
