🆕🇬🇧 UPDATE | WHAT'S UP???

📊 Really, really stylish!
- A graph has been added to /rankings command. You can hide it from the /settings command by clicking "Other" -> "Chart" (look at message's text to see if it's activated or not).
- Lot of messages' text has been renewed (they looked quite boring, didn't they?).

💯 How long has it been since new commands were added?
- Added a new command for group's administrators: /groupstats; the bot will reply in private messages to whom executed the command!

🤬 I want to delete everything!
- Added a new button in /settings for group's creators: "Reset"; all data relating to the group's rankings will be permanently deleted.

🆕🇬🇧 UPDATE | EVERYONE CAN BE A WINNER!

🌐 Let's take competition on another level!
- Groups and users are now divided in categories by their languages (available by pressing the button named "Languages" and selecting one of them).
- International ranking remains the default category displayed in both /topusers and /topgroups commands.

📊 Graphs needed some help...
- We discovered some problems in graphs' generation system and we managed to solve them.

🖌 It's never late for a redesign.
- Some messages have been rewritten and their style has changed.. take a look at /groupstats for example, now even less blinding!

🎆 Every day looks surprising!
We're keeping an eye on the bot's evolution day by day, and we're trying our best to keep the best possible service available everywhere and to everyone, for free.
We'd like to thank every user and group for the continuous support, and to our friends in Ukraine: hold on and keep faith.

👋 Hello everyone.
After more than a year since the last update, we are ready to release some new features.

During this year we have been committed to staying consistent against all spammers and users trying to get on the leaderboard at all costs. Because of this, ChatFight has become one of the most widely used bots in groups in terms of message counting.

As early as a month ago, we started the fight against groups purposely created by spammers to rise in the rankings without being noticed in public groups. Thanks to this technique, we blocked a lot of fake groups from the global ranking, but still managed to keep the local ranking active.

Today we are ready to go beyond just counting messages. With the goal of making the groups that are part of the leaderboard even more active.

👾 GAMES
» ⚡️ FAST TYPING
Every hour the bot will send an image with a word. The first user to rewrite it wins. The user gets 2 points if he/she writes the word within 30 seconds, otherwise only 1 point.
» 🔮 HANGMAN
Choose the word or let the bot choose it for you. Users will have to guess it by proposing letters or trying the whole word. Those who guess a letter get 1 point, those who guess the whole word get a number of points equal to its length.
» 🥇 GAMES RANKING
The game ranking is already available. Taking into account the points concept we specified a few lines above, it displays the local leaderboard via the /topgame command. We are already working on the global leaderboard: it will be available soon.

📊 NEW CHARTS
Let's face it: we chose to revamp the graphics and make them in step with the times. They now present a new, much more colorful style. We followed your advice: the color red won and now by default the bot will show the graph in red color. We do not deny that in the future there may be a choice of color, perhaps for ChatFight Premium users.

⚠️ CLARIFICATION ON THE VISIBILITY IN THE RANKINGS
For the past few months, the

message has appeared in the /topgroups command and in some small groups. We are sorry if this has created problems within your group. Please be assured that it is only a temporary safety measure and will be decommissioned over the next few weeks. The larger and more active groups have not been affected by this.

Thanks to all the people who helped us test these features before the official release. Thanks to all the donors who contributed to the development of the bot. Thank you to everyone. ChatFight would not be the same without you.

🇮🇹 ITALIAN
👋 Ciao a tutti.
Dopo oltre un anno dall'ultimo update siamo pronti per il rilascio di alcune nuove funzionalità.

Durante questo anno ci siamo impegnati a rimanere coerenti contro tutti gli spammer e gli utenti che cercano di salire in classifica a tutti i costi. Grazie a questo, ChatFight è diventato uno dei bot più utilizzati nei gruppi per quanto riguarda il conteggio dei messaggi.

Già un mese fa abbiamo iniziato la lotta contro i gruppi creati apposta dagli spammer per salire in classifica senza farsi notare nei gruppi pubblici. Grazie a questa tecnica, abbiamo bloccato tantissimi gruppi finti dalla classifica globale, ma siamo riusciti pur sempre a mantenere attiva la classifica locale.

Oggi siamo pronti per andare oltre il semplice conteggio dei messaggi. Con l'obiettivo di rendere i gruppi che fanno parte della classifica ancora più attivi.

👾 GIOCHI
» ⚡️ SCRITTURA VELOCE
Ogni ora il bot invierà un'immagine con una parola. Il primo utente che la riscrive vince. L'utente ottiene 2 punti se scrive la parola entro 30 secondi, altrimenti 1 solo punto.
» 🔮 IMPICCATO
Scegli la parola oppure lascia che il bot la scelga per te. Gli utenti la dovranno indovinare proponendo lettere o provando con l'intera parola. Chi indovina una lettera ottiene 1 punto, chi indovina l'intera parola ottiene un numero di punti pari alla sua lunghezza.
» 🥇 CLASSIFICA GIOCHI
La classifica dei giochi è già disponibile. Tenendo conto del concetto dei punti che abbiamo specificato qualche riga sopra, visualizza la classifica locale tramite il comando /topgame. Stiamo già lavorando alla classifica globale: sarà disponibile a breve.

📊 NUOVI GRAFICI
Diciamoci la verità: abbiamo scelto di rimodernare i grafici e renderli al passo con i tempi. Ora presentano un nuovo stile molto più colorato. Abbiamo seguito i vostri consigli: ha vinto il colore rosso ed ora di predefinito il bot mostrerà il grafico di colore rosso. Non neghiamo che in futuro potrebbe esserci la possibilità di scegliere il colore, magari per gli utenti ChatFight Premium.

⚠️ CHIARIMENTI SULL'APPARIZIONE IN CLASSIFICA
Da qualche mese è apparso, nel comando /topgroups e in alcuni piccoli gruppi, il messaggio
📌 This group is currently not yet ready to participate in the ChatFight global ranking. Please try again later or in a little while.
Ci dispiace se ciò ha creato problemi all'interno del vostro gruppo. Vi assicuriamo che è solo una misura di sicurezza temporanea e che verrà dismessa nel corso delle prossime settimane. I gruppi più grandi e più attivi non hanno subito nulla di tutto ciò.

Grazie a tutte le persone che ci hanno aiutato a provare queste funzionalità prima del rilascio ufficiale. Grazie a tutti i donatori che hanno contribuito allo sviluppo del bot. Grazie a tutti. ChatFight non sarebbe lo stesso senza di voi.

As of 11:00 a.m. CET, a network problem occurred which affected all bots. We are currently verifying the situation and preparing to resolve it. Bots may respond very late or may not respond at all.

The problem has been solved and the bots are returning to normal. We apologise for the inconvenience.

An internal problem occurred in the last few hours that caused the rankings to come up empty. Please be advised that the problem has been resolved, and although messages from the last few hours have not been counted, all previous messages are part of the count correctly.

We inform you that the main bot is experiencing problems in responding to commands due to a timeout on the Telegram side. We will keep you updated. Clones are working normally.

The Telegram team informed us that the problem should be resolved within 30 minutes.

update: We're online.

Straordinary maintenance started. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The bot is now online.

🇬🇧 ENGLISH
👋 Hello everyone.
After a few months since the last update we are here to unveil some small new features.

In these months we still devoted ourselves to improve the uptime of the bot which is now separate from all our other bots. Any downtime of our other bots will therefore not go to affect ChatFight's uptime.

Having revamped the basic structure of ChatFight, there has been some downtime related to these changes in recent days. We would like to inform you that we have already fixed the main problems due to the new structure.

There are also other new features in the version of ChatFight we are going to publish today, but we have chosen not to mention them yet in this update as they may still be unstable and will be published in a future post.

📲 DONATE TO CHATFIGHT
» Now on Telegram
For technical reasons, we have chosen to move the management of donations (which were on our website until now) directly into the bot. You can find out more about how to donate to ChatFight via the new button that appears in the /start command or by pressing here.
» New payment methods
As of now, you can make payments not only with PayPal but also with your credit card and with cryptocurrencies. So far we have supported Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, but other payment methods may be available later.

ℹ️ NEW SETSTART
For quite some time now, all premium users were able to set a custom response to their clones' /start command. As of now, you can also attach a media content (image/gif/video) or a custom keyboard to the start command. Are you a premium user? Learn more using /setstart on your clones.

🌍 DISCOVER THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR USERS
Starting today you can use the /toplanguages command in your groups to find out more detailed information about the language of the most active users in your group.
Keep in mind that this option is based on the language the users have configured in the bot. Up to this point, the bot was assigning English language to new users, so this ranking may become more stable and accurate over time as the bot recognizes the actual language of the users (which will happen the moment they write a new message in a group).

⌨️ ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE COMMAND LIST
To update your clones' command list, send in the private chat with your bot the command /setcommands. With this command, the bot will update the commands by entering a different command list for each language. After the update, each user will see the command list adjusted to the language of their Telegram app.

✍️ DAILY REPORT
The bot is now able, at midnight, to indicate numerical differences (members active daily, messages written daily) in comparison to the previous day. This option is already active in groups that have daily overview enabled.
