🛡 Gate Shield — Update

🚫 NEW: Spam Filter

Gate Shield now reads message content and removes promotional spam automatically — gambling , crypto, adult ads, bot promotion , scams, fake jobs, button-stuffed posts, mass tagging, disguised text, and the same ad blasted from multiple accounts.

• Unverified members 👤 → muted on their first spam message
• Verified members ✅ → muted only after 2 within 10 minutes
• Admins 👮 are always exempt

Each mute comes with an alert naming what tripped the filter, so you can unmute if it was wrong.

🔧 FIXED: Anonymous admins

Admins posting as the group were wrongly told "only admins can do that". Commands now work for them.

✨ IMPROVED: Cleaner chats

Group commands delete your command message once handled, leaving just the bot's reply. Commands for other bots are untouched.

🛡 Gate Shield Bot — Update

Fewer false positives in bot detection

Real users were getting kicked by mistake. The detector now separates hard evidence from weak hints like timing and username patterns.
