Hi. Not programming question! There is a guy who keep spamming message to my bot. is there anyway i can block that ID? It's ok but really annoying. There is no method for blocking in telegram bot api.

Speaking of newest Bot API, you can easily find out his chat_id (f.ex. manually call getUpdates method) and add a rule, that if recieved chat_id is his chat_id - do nothing.

I assume he is speaking about this implementation. There is an anti-flood implemented: https://github.com/yagop/telegram-bot/blob/master/plugins/stats.lua#L103 The message is ignored if the user messages > NUM_MSG_MAX in TIME_CHECK (s)
