Ever wondered how many messages have been posted in a group since it was created?

🔢 Now you can easily check with /count!

Note: this will include Bot, Service, and Deleted messages.

2018-04-19 - @CalsiBot Update

New:
- CalsiBot now supports Text Switching!

For example, replying to the above sentence with s/Text/Message would replace "Text" with "Message", but keep everything else the same.

If you want to make your match case insensitive, simply add /i to the end. So s/text/Message would not match the "Text" above (because the case of the letter "t" does not match), but s/text/Message/i would match anyway.

To auto-delete evidence of your switch, simply add /d to the end. For example s/text/Message/d. You can also combine this with case insensitive matching: s/text/Message/di.

Auto-deletion will only work if CalsiBot is an admin, and has permission to delete messages.

Sometimes it's easy to accidentally put an extra slash at the start, like/s/Text/Message - don't worry, that is supported too :)

Updated:
- Over 30 new phrases for novelty commands like /slap, /kms, etc.
- pat is now an alias for headpat
- 🤤 can now also be used for the "knees command", alongside 😏

Check the first ever post here if you're wondering what that is. 😌

Telegram was down for nearly 12 Hours(!) and CB is working through the backlog...

Together, you've now caught 750 THOUSAND fish.

That's amazing, thank you! :)

Vote below, maybe your vote will decide what gets added when we hit a million 😋

2018-05-13 - @CalsiBot Update

New:
- /Fish now keeps note of how many days in a row you have fished (streaks)
- /MyFish messages now have a link to your account at the top, to stop any fake posts 🤧

Notes:
- We reached 750,000 /Fish! ❤️😭

🆕🔊

You can now /preview any MP3 file! Other filetypes will work too, if encoded correctly

/preview is already the 9th most used command 😳

From today, when @CalsiBot sees a message that can be previewed, it will just do it!

You can fine-tune this behavior with /AutoPreview 😌

There is only one thing more pathetic than making Telegram bots.

Making user bots. Essentially, these look just like normal accounts, but are actually bots designed to spam, advertise in, and otherwise disrupt popular groups.

While tools like Join Lock have helped, they are not perfect because they make it way more difficult for actual people to join your group, just so that user bots can't - that sucks, big time. What you need is an easy (and fun?) way for humans to prove they're human, but easily filter out user bots.

Next week, I will announce a new @CalsiBot feature which does just that - if you want to test this out early, contact me

In other news, /ruffle is now a thing 🙃

Introducing Join Verify!

Never deal with Spam, Adverts, or Disruption from User Bots ever again ✌️

Real users can easily verify themselves to chat. Enable it now with /JoinVerify! :)

Since Join Verify was released, it has:
- Been enabled in ~450 groups
- Verified ~19,400 members as human
- Blocked ~2,700 spammers from sending messages

This is great, but today we take it one step further - with Time Limits.

With Join Verify Time Limits, you can choose how long members have to Verify themselves as human. CalsiBot can then automatically ban them, if they don't Verify within this period.

This helps ensure that not only can spam bots not talk in your group, but they also cannot see messages, or harvest data.

Thank you to everyone who suggested this :)
