Some examples of how to use inline mode

Another one

And lastly tempban

you can then refine the results by typing in the users name, or the groups name or the users id after tempban

EDIT: The inline queries work across both bots

[Enforcer Update 12 june 2017]
*Help can be set to send to the users pm via /menu -> group -> help
*Fixed the bug causing some flagged messages not to see the reply

Please note the bot has a 10 minute admin cache.

That means that whether someone is a group admin or not in the bots eyes is stored for 10 minutes so any changes to the groups admins via telegram will take 10 minutes to reflect on the bot.

[Werewolf Down]
Werewolf is down at the moment.

For those who care it is experiencing some database issues, ie the database is frozen.

[Server Outage]
We are working very hard to bring everything back up. The server has completely crashed, so it's going to take some time sadly. We will need to completely set everything back up and restore the database.

We apologize for the inconvenience

[Server Outage]
We are having some serious issues with our server host. We can't stop or start the server at all. We may have to put in a ticket with them....

It just keeps getting worse. I finally managed to put in a support ticket - but even that took me 15 minutes because their web interface is having so many issues right now

[Donations]
Hi everyone. While we are offline please consider donating by clicking on http://paypal.me/GreyWolfDevelopment or sending it to [email protected]

If you want your name mentioned in the channel or a special message please put that in the donation.

These donations help us pay for more servers and keep the bot online.

With enough donations, we can get rid of this hosting provider and get something more stable... :)

Just to recap:
Earlier today, the server completely locked up. We couldn't shut it down in any way, and we were forced to stop it (stop the VM, same as pulling the power). Believe me, we tried to avoid that, but the server was completely unresponsive.
Upon turning it back on, we found that the OS had been corrupted, and it could no longer boot. We then loaded a linux distro in memory so we could mount the drives and do what we needed. After some time working on this, the remote connection failed, and we were forced to reboot the server again. However, there was an error on the server hosting providers side, and the "action failed" - whatever that means.
From that point forward, we have been unable to even read the server status (though, we know it's offline). The hosting providers website is having all kinds of errors, but we were able (after 15 minutes) to put in a support ticket.

At this point, we are waiting either on support, or their website to stop being so messed up. We can't do anything but wait, sadly.

Once we regain access to the server, we can begin the repair process, which will include reinstalling the environment and restoring the database.

Again, very very sorry for the inconvenience :(

(By the way, NO, this is not a Telegram issue. Telegram does not host the server, they are in no way affiliated with Werewolf)

UPDATE

So, we finally got the server back online.... that is, powered on. It still doesn't work, but I was able to get linux loaded again in memory, ssh in, and I'm currently pulling the database off the server and transferring it to another server. This will take some time, as the database is 22GB, and it sadly appears to be transferring at an incredibly slow rate. I mean, insanely slow.... ~700kB/s (so, it's got about 8.5 hours left...)

I'm trying to find out why it's so slow, but for now, it's all I can do :(

Made some changes, hopefully this holds up

Alright, have a bunch of files queued up to transfer off the server. I need a short break, losing my mind, I'll be back in a little while to keep working on this.

I have now been on this for 14 hours. It's 4am here. I... I need some sleep. I'm sorry, I'll keep working on it as soon as I wake up.

[Werewolf Update (Bots are still down)]
