Copyable Telegram group rules template
Welcome to [GROUP NAME]. By participating, you agree to these rules:
- Be respectful. No harassment, threats, hate speech, or targeted abuse.
- Stay on topic. Use [OFF-TOPIC CHAT OR THREAD] for unrelated conversation.
- No unsolicited promotion, repeated advertising, referral spam, or mass mentions.
- Do not post scam links, impersonate admins, request seed phrases, or ask for passwords and private keys.
- Do not flood the chat with repeated messages, media, reactions, or bot commands.
- Protect privacy. Do not publish another person's private information without permission.
- Follow admin instructions during safety incidents, raids, or temporary lockdowns.
- Moderation may include message removal, warning, mute, removal, or ban. Appeal through [APPEAL CONTACT].
Adapt the template to your community
Generic rules are a starting point. Add the behaviors that create real risk in your group and remove restrictions you do not plan to enforce.
- Public groups: define promotion, invite-link, language, and newcomer rules.
- Crypto or Web3: prohibit wallet support in direct messages, impersonation, and seed-phrase requests.
- Marketplaces and job boards: specify post format, frequency, price or salary fields, and verification limits.
- Creator communities: define self-promotion windows, spoiler rules, and acceptable fan content.
Connect each rule to a moderation action
A rule is useful only when the team applies it consistently. Decide which violations receive a reminder or warning, which justify a temporary mute, and which require immediate removal. Publish the appeal route and keep action reasons in the moderation log.
Automate repeatable checks without hiding the policy
VibeGuard can help enforce link, flood, newcomer, anti-spam, and anti-raid controls. Keep the human-readable rules pinned in the group, test matching rules in audit mode, and review exceptions before automatic enforcement.

FAQ
How many rules should a Telegram group have?
Use the shortest list that covers the behavior your admins will actually moderate. Eight to twelve clear rules are usually easier to understand than a long policy with repeated exceptions.
Should the rules explain moderation penalties?
Yes. Describe the possible actions and when admins may escalate, while reserving discretion for severe spam, scams, raids, or safety threats.
Where should I publish Telegram group rules?
Put them in a pinned message or accessible rules post, link them from the welcome message, and keep the appeal contact easy to find.
Can VibeGuard enforce these rules automatically?
VibeGuard can automate repeatable signals such as links, floods, newcomer checks, spam, and raid activity. Contextual rules still need admin review.
Copy the template, replace the bracketed details, publish it in your Telegram group, and use VibeGuard to test the repeatable safety rules in audit mode.
