FAQ
- How do I unban a blacklisted user from my bot?
To unban someone you need their Telegram User ID (preferred) or username/profile name.
If you have a name you can use ./util/blacklist.py find to search your bot's database for the user record.
You can then run ./util/blacklist.py unban 12345678 to remove the ban.
- How do I demote somone I promoted to mod/admin at some point?
If you already have an User ID in mind, proceed below.
Otherwise you can either use the find utility like explained above or run
./util/perms.py list to list all users with elevated rank.
Simply run ./util/perms.py set 12345678 user to remove the users' privileges.
This can also be used to grant an user higher privileges by exchanging the last argument with "mod" or "admin".
- What is the suggested setup to run multiple bots?
The blacklist.py and perms.py script, including advanced functions like blacklist syncing
(./util/blacklist.py sync), support a structure like the following where each bot
has its' own subdirectory:
root folder
\-- bot1
\-- db.sqlite
\-- config.yaml
\-- bot2
\-- db.sqlite
\-- ...
\-- ...
\-- README.md
