Discontinued project!

Group owners and group admins of new or existing Telegram groups should also see our initiative against spam. Click here for more information about it and to make your group and your admins part of our initiative. We share a common ban list and therefore the group administrations are helping each other. No OSM group needs to fight spam alone!
