Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking Telegram bot API support for restricting newcomers and pinned notifications, then clarify whether full or partial lockdown is required. Done would be a specified, implementable behavior with activation criteria, duration, and notification details.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For cases when spammer activity goes out of control, it's useful to have a tool which momentarily limits ability for new uses to make harm to a community. This could include blocking any messages from a newcomers for a limited duration with notification via pinned message, or maybe less restrictive action.

Also we could have a partial lock-down mode, which limits chat activity only when no one is actively watching, e.g. at night time or based on admins / high carma members activity (latter one may not be available via bot API though).
