Hi all,
Just pushed a few new things to marie, let me know if anything breaks.
Here are the changes:

- new report message format when coming from a public supergroup, similar to group butler
- cleaned up the /welcome and /goodbye command - they'll now also show your current buttons.
- finally... Added line control for buttons! adding :same at the end of a buttonurl will put that button on the same line as the previous one.
- I've also activated ! commands, as well as / commands :D

Oh and, we now have 38k users and have been in 830 chats!

Just added the /disable function.
It allows you to disable a subset of commands which you might find annoying, due to you users spamming them, or you just not wanting to see them.
Check out the /help for more information!

And in todays news... I present to you - Log channels!
Do you like group butler's log channels, and wish Marie had them too? Well, now she does!
Hit /help to read all about them - they're setup the same way as group butler's, so those who've used them before should have no trouble setting them up. I might be bringing the logs to normal groups as well, depending on demand - so I'll let you know about that! Let me know if theres any bugs with it, there might be some things I've missed.

I've made sure that everything works with the latest version of the bot api, so interacting with other bots should work even better now!

I also fixed an emoji/markdown bug, which meant emoji could cause you to loose some characters in your messages - that should now be fixed :)
There are a few more minor improvements all around, but not really worth mentioning - which messages are replied to by what commands, mentioning which admin removes a warn, etc etc...

Make sure to join @MarieSupport for help, and @MarieNews if you just want the highlights.
Have a nice day!

If anyone has been having issues with markdown links when using telegram X, the bug has been fixed.

Telegram issues in Europe mean that Marie might be acting strangely, sorry for the inconvenience :/

She's back!

I've added a new feature - blacklists!
This will allow group admins to automate straight up deleting any messages that contain undesired triggers. For example, do you wish ETA's were a thing for the past? simply delete them all!

Check /help for information about how to setup blacklists.

Also, join @MarieSupport if you need a hand using them in your group.

We've hit 75k users! Thanks for everyone who submitted bug reports, and to everyone who suggested the next hot features that allowed Marie to keep growing!

As usual, feel free to drop us a message @MarieSupport if you have any feature requests/bug reports!

Blame the Europe telegram outage for Marie having some downtime - all good now.

Have just hit 100k users on Marie! Glad everyone is enjoying my work :)

Hey everyone - just to let you know, there's gonna be a small downtime at 3pm UTC. Digital ocean are rebooting some droplets, and there's nothing I can do about it. Should take about 10 minutes max - hope it doesn't cause too much trouble!

Downtime today was due to a power outage in telegram's Europe datacentre, which caused bots to go down! Sorry for the inconvenience. Should be all up and running again!

With 180k users, people are bound to be asking for features. Lately, it's seemed like a lot of people have been asking for translations!

Rest assured, I've been looking at how I can offer translation settings for everyone. As soon as I get back from holiday and have a working translation prototype, I'll post a Google form to see what translations people would be interested in, and then I'll setup some crowdsource project for everyone to contribute their translations.
Look forward to seeing how many different nationalities use Marie!

200k users 🎉 🎉 🎉

In other news, I'm back from holiday, so I'll start implementing a backlog of features/fixes later today!

Just pushed a new update!

- /tban, or /tempban x(m/h/d) allows you to ban a user for x amount of time (defined by the m/h/d).
eg: /tban @user 2d would ban the user for 2 days.

- You can now lock games and forwards!

- /welcome now shows a markdown formatted version of the welcome message (except for names/ids etc). If you want the unparsed message, for example to edit it and update your current welcome message, use /welcome noformat.

I've also fixed a small bug in warnings which meant some users sometimes got -1 warns, and updated a few strings here and there.
Enjoy!

Hey, just pushed an optimisation update!

Spent a few hours optimising and implementing a cache system in Marie to avoid a lot of unnecessary database accesses - should hopefully be faster than ever now!

Let me know in @MarieSupport if it's raised some new bugs; it's been quite a big refactor and I changed a whole bunch of logic. If there are too many bugs (there shouldn't be) I'll revert to the previous working version in a few hours. :)

Another optimisation update - as usual, lmk if there any new bugs. Especially concerning log channels, antiflood, and command disabling, Thanks!

Should the /disable command stop users AND admins from using a command, or just users?

Just users – 65
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 87%

Users and admins – 10
👍 13%

👥 75 people voted so far. Poll closed.

300k users 🎉 thanks guys, glad you like my work!

For those wondering why Marie isnt responding; telegram Europe went down, and so all bots are currently off.
