## Readme from MadelineProto

There is a useful quote from [MadelineProto][2] docs:

### Getting permission to use the telegram API
Before you start using MadelineProto with the Telegram API, you have to understand that Telegram strictly controls userbots created on their platform.

If you use MadelineProto or any other Telegram client, **including official clients**, for flooding, spamming, botting channels, you **will be banned forever**.

Due to excessive abuse of the Telegram API, **all phone numbers** that sign up or log in using **even official or approved by telegram API clients like MadelineProto** are automatically put **under observation**, and **may** get banned **even if you did nothing wrong**, simply because some internal flags are triggered in the **telegram servers**.

To avoid this, you must let telegram know that you will use your account with a userbot:
When or before you first sign up or login you have to **send an email with the phone number to recover@telegram.org**; explaining **what will your userbot do**.
**DO NOT LIE**, just tell them what will you do with the userbot you intend to create, asking them to not ban your account.

If your account does get banned, write to recover@telegram.org asking to unban it.

**DO NOT ABUSE OF THIS OR ANY OTHER API FOR FLOODING; SPAMMING; BOTTING**; the consequences will fall not only on you, but on all other users of this and other libraries, and even normal users.

There were cases when several **normal user accounts that did nothing wrong** were banned when telegram deployed a new spambot detection system: this is bad for the community, and it is bad for Telegram, so please do not abuse.
