# AutoBanBot If message matches configured regexes then bot bans the user from the channel and removes the message. ## You're not a spammer but you got banned? This is definitely a bug. [File an issue on Pagure](https://pagure.io/AutoBanBot/issues). Thank you! ## Running Before running the bot, configure the Telegram Bot API and regexes in `config.json`. An `config.json.example` file is provided with example values. ```bash $ virtualenv -p python3 virtual $ source virtual/bin/activate $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ ./autobanbot.py ```
