Update for @r2tBot:

- Improved performance of v.reddit.com videos
- Fixed a bigger bug for not being able to post reddit video after preparing it for sending in some instances
- The use of the bot in private channels is now deprecated.
Reasoning behind that is that other people can't benefit from it if they can't access it. So for a public (free!) offering that doen't really make sense.
If you wanna continue to use it in a private group that consider donating.
- New /last_post command to see when the last post was the bot has made. That is usefull for confirming that it is still working. Notice that only actual media posts are listed and channels without new posts on reddit are not taken into account. If it hasn't posted in over an hour you can ask in the support chat.

#update #r2tBot

The worker node of @JoinCaptchaBot just restarted ungreacefully, in some cases causing up to 6 times the same messages.
The good news is, while it happend multiple times in the same second, any missed out kicks were now processed as well (6 times).
The issue has been identified and will be resolved soon.
Sorry for your inconvinience.

New Bot: @YeetChanBot
So you have a group chat, but now people use anonymous throwaway channels to do shady things or just misbehave and you can't really do anything about it?
the new bot and it automatically will delete and ban those anonymous channels, thus no longer allowing users to abuse them.

You need to add the bot as an admin with permition to ban and delete messages.

Moved a few stateless bots over to the newer server.
All those image booru bots:
- @ponbot @p0nbot
- @fboorubot @fb00rubot
- @ponyboorubot @p0nybooru
- @twiboorubot @tw1boorubot

Sorry for the pin again. I wanted to hit edit.

- @PermalinkBot

- @ponifyBot (not that anyone would need that bot, lol)

- @rpAliasBot (including all registered bots. You don't have to do anything for your registered bots.)

Heck!

Also there will be a scheduled downtime for two remaining bots tomorrow, in about 16h 20h from now :
- @BanWarnBot
- @RulesRulesBot
Those have a database, and therefore they need to be take down to not loose any changes happining while the data is moved over.
#scheduled #downtime

Quick note that DNSControl is awesome!

Migrated @RulesRulesBot just now to the new server, was offline for ~5 minutes, to preserve data integrety. Everything seems working as it should.
Will now do the same with @RulesRulesBot, so it will not respond for a few minutes as well.

Done :D

There was an issue with @JoinCaptchaBot not receiving telegram updates for a few hours apparently due to an DNS issue. This is now resolved and the bot seems to have cached up and is working fine again.

Apologies if that caused any kicked members because of the message not being there on join as usual.

It was brought to attention that with some bots admin commands were no longer working.
That was happining for the bots migrated yesterday, because of the new bot API version.
This is #fixed now.

Thanks for letting me know, A. A.!

Fixed an issue where @ChatNetworkBot in some cases didn't reply when it should send an invite link after the /start via deeplinking.

Thanks in helping diagnose, L.s. and C.
#fixed #ChatNetworkBot

Due to an misconfiguration in networking, currently all my bots are down.
I'll post an update once it's resolved.
Bots should pick up what they missed afterwords.

Edit: it's resolved
