  • No explicit puzzle for genuine newcomers
  • Works alongside a separate captcha or moderation bot

DaySandBox

DaySandBox takes a different approach from a captcha challenge at the door: new members are let in immediately but placed in a temporary sandbox, where their messages stay hidden from the rest of the group until enough signals suggest they are a genuine participant rather than a spam bot. This avoids the friction of an explicit puzzle for real newcomers while still filtering out automated accounts.

Its own Telegram profile carries only Telegram's generic group-bot description rather than a custom bio, so the sandbox mechanic described here is based on the bot's established reputation rather than its own written claims — test it in a low-stakes group first if you want to confirm the exact behaviour.

How to start

  1. Add @daysandbox_bot to the group as admin
  2. New members are sandboxed automatically on join
  3. Genuine members are released from the sandbox over time

FAQ

Does it block new members from joining?

No, members join immediately; only their messages stay hidden from the group until vetted.
