I'm not sure if this feature is needed by the community, but in our chat, we decided to give users temporary bans to prevent them from instantly rejoining (we use this bot as a soft power tool, just to let users know they've chosen the wrong chat).
I found that
tlgbotutils.tlg_ban_user
already has a parameter for ban duration, so I added a configuration option to specify it. By default, it's set to-1
, which means an indefinite ban, so backward compatibility is maintained.Important: I didn’t change the localization texts for the ban to avoid overcomplicating the logic, so the ban message still says that a chat admin needs to manually unban the user.
