Telegram stop words guide for multi-group moderation

Global stop words are one of the fastest wins for network moderation. They turn repeated manual updates into one controlled policy change. A good list blocks harmful patterns without damaging normal conversation. A bad list creates operator noise and user friction. This guide focuses on balancing coverage and precision.

Build the first baseline

Start from known abuse patterns across your busiest groups. Include scam terms, repeated ad phrases and known evasion variants. Keep the first version short and measurable. Avoid giant lists copied from unrelated communities.

Operate with review cycles

Treat stop words as an evolving policy, not a one-time config. Review triggered words every week. Mark which entries caught real abuse and which produced false positives. Remove noisy entries quickly and document why.

Practical pattern

If one phrase triggers in five groups with low false positives, keep it global. If one phrase triggers only in one group and causes user complaints, move it to local exceptions. This keeps the network baseline clean.
