http://telegra.ph/Custom-Gif-Packs-and-Donation-Levels-07-31

Telegram payment system is NOW ONLINE. PayPal is no longer required.

[Purchasing Gif Sets]
For everyone purchasing gif sets/donating through paypal or Bitcoin please ensure you include your Telegram ID or Telegram Username in the notes section of your donation so that we can find you.

[Gifs still available]
Hi everyone.
There are still some custom gif sets available if you are interested in purchasing them.

They allow to set the gifs sent by the bot to whatever you want when you are playing and are a great way to support @werewolfbot and its development.

You can purchase them using the /donate command.

[Grouplist Update]
We are now removing groups that contain the word "Official" in there groups name from grouplist. There are only 2 offical werewolf groups the rest of all unoffical.

If your group has been removed and you changed your name please contact support to be put back on grouplist

In case you want to help, and happen to find a bug, you can report them here :
Werewolf
https://github.com/parabola949/Werewolf/issues

Enforcer
https://github.com/dllz/EnforcerLua/issues

Please remember to also help with the /donate command, it helps us rent high quality servers, so you, your friends and everyone who enjoys werewolf can play it seamlessly :)

Happy Wuffing

[Advertisement]
As Para highlighted earlier, Grey Wolf Development keeps making sure paid ads are clear of all the products we offer, because we think it ruins user experience.

That being said, we will not put up with people joining random groups, sending ads and ruining user experience.
We WILL ban people who spam ads, and groups who support them.

However, if contenders of the same sub-grouplist start trying to bring each other down by reporting ads abusively, we will simply remove the sub-grouplist for as long as we deem necessary.


[تبلیغات]

همانطور که قبلا گفته شد گروه گرگینه برای حفاظت از کاربرانش با گروه ها و افرادی که تبلیغات گسترده انجام میدهند برخورد خواهد کرد.
لازم به ذکر است افرادی که به صورت رندوم در گروه هایی عضو میشوند و تبلیغات کوچکی می کنند ، در این دسته قرار نخواهند گرفت ، این تذکر شامل گروه و افرادیست که به صورت مکرر تبلیغات انجام میدهند.
علاوه بر این گروه هایی که از انها حمایت میکنند نیز مورد بازبینی قرار خواهند گرفت و در صورت اثبات ، از استفاده از ربات منع خواهند شد.

بعلاوه اگر فرد یا افرادی به دروغ و با نیتی سوء گروهی را گزارش دهند ما با آنها برخورد خواهیم کرد .

We still have a few gif packs available. Mess with your friends by changing the animations in werewolf! (Or maybe get a pack that goes with the language file you use?)

[Werewolf Website]
The website has been updated to show the missing achievements under your stats page.

Use /stats to check yours :)

Hey Taiwan, specifically 210.64.170.200 - we see you.

[Werewolf Lag]
So, we've been having some issues with lag lately, and we've spent the past couple days working on figuring out why. In doing so we have also implemented a little more security - like blocking people from trying to brute force our database, which was causing issues (see previous message :P)

We also have some new spam detection systems in place, as well as a new tool that will allow us to get Werewolf back up to speed easily.

While I don't believe the problem is solved yet, we are getting much closer.

[Werewolf Spam]
Currently, Werewolfbot is spammed commands like /join and /startgame by some groups. This is making the whole bot lag again and again in the last few days. Please be aware that we see who is spamming the bot and we will ban those groups from playing werewolf.

[Werewolf]

As of now, the spam detection limits have been changed. For now, unless we need to change it, the limits are:
10 commands to bot within 1 minute: Warn
20 commands to bot within 1 minute: Temp Ban

Also, it has been patched - if the bot is lagging, and you send 20 commands over 5 minutes, you will NOT receive a tempban. That issue is fixed.

We've also patched a slight issue where sending dev only commands in a group would NOT cause the spam detection to trigger. Spam detection now counts ALL commands, not just commands done in PM. That means if you do it in a group - you'll get hit now.

First ban: 12 hours
Second ban: 1 day
Third ban: 3 days
Fourth ban: You are done. You are forever banned from @werewolfbot, there are no appeals.

When you get banned, the bot will no longer respond to you. It won't even say 'You are banned' - this would just allow spammers to keep spamming the bot, which wouldn't solve anything.

UPDATE
Users can no longer use more than one command every 4 seconds. Now you can't spam it even if you wanted

[PSA]

All large groups (well, really, any groups!):
If you've not already done so, I highly recommend that creators of groups select one or two of their admins and give them the ability to add other admins. If something were to happen (you delete your account for some reason, or worse, something bad happens to you), your group would be messed up as no one would be able to manage the group.

Always have backup "owners"

[Enforcedbot]
Telegram has decided not to send enforcedbot updates anymore.

[Werewolf]

Update:
Thanks to the latest update to the Telegram Bot API - users with no username will no longer appear as bold! From now on, ALL players will have their name linked in the player list / private messages :)

Thanks Telegram for the update!

[Werewolf]
So, I didn't know that the new method would notify players. Apologies to all those getting notifications from the player list when you're already dead.

I made a couple minor changes -
1 - I set the disable_notification value on the API - this will still notify you, but it won't make any noise
2 - If you are dead, the player list will remove the link from your name, and just send it as bold

If these do not work, or there are still issues, please contact @werewolfsupport

[Bots down]
Telegram has stopped sending updates to the bots.
There is nothing we can do while we wait for Telegram to fix itself .

[Enforcer Update 27.08.2017]

- Change in @pingall: Enforcer now pings you via inline mention, this means, you can register yourself even if you don't have a username. Unfortunately, all the lists had to be reset for that. In order to subscribe (again), use /pingme, hit the Register button and (re-)start the bot.

- Group admins can now remove people from @pingall by using /unping [username/ID/reply]

- In case spam bots are added to your group and make a keyboard at the bottom, you can use /clearkeys and enforcer will remove the current keyboard for everyone. Report those bots and the People who add them at @GreyWolfSupport (with screenshot). Reported people will be global banned and your groups with enforcer are safe.

[Enforcer leaving groups]

Currently, spambanned people causes enforcer to leave groups wherever it sees them. If it happens in your group, please contact @greywolfsupport and give us the usernames of the people who cause the bot to leave. We will temporarily unban them until the problem is fixed. Thanks to everyone who can help us about this


--Edit
Fixed, so you don't need to report people anymore :)

We still have a few gif packs available. Mess with your friends by changing the animations in werewolf! (Or maybe get a pack that goes with the language file you use?)
