GORT (Groupme Overwatch RoboT)
GORT is a GroupMe bot specifically designed to add security controls and other enhancements to your GroupMe chats, making it it easy and safe to run large public chatrooms in an orderly manner with our favorite group chat app. With GORT, hijackings of your chatrooms, mass user removals, and unauthorized changes to group settings are all things of the past!
GORT introduces a hierarchical user system with granular permissions, making it easy for group owners to protect selected group settings and restrict certain user actions, while allowing to designate trusted users that can bypass GORT controls and administrators that can manage GORT itself.
Once installed, GORT continuously monitors your chatroom and responds to unauthorized changes by restoring original settings and performing other remediation actions including kicking offenders and re-adding wrongfully removed users.
