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?

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

Bot api back up, Marie is catching up on the thousands of messages sent during the bot api downtime. Give her a moment to catch up and it'll all be good!

Finally caught up!

Taking Marie down for maintenance, trying to fix some long term annoyances!

Coming back up, she's catching up on messages

Have a few more things to do in the meantime to finish maintenance but should all be OK now

500k users! 🎉 thanks guys! Still going strong - and of course I'm still working on making her better!

750k users... Never ceases to amaze me how fast Marie is growing! 🎉

Telegram went down earlier, thats why Marie is currently acting up - she's catching up on the messages she missed. Give her a bit of time to come up to speed. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Digital Ocean are undergoing network maintenance on the Marie cluster, so she has some irregular uptime at the moment.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I wasn't notified about this and can't do anything given the poor connectivity. The maintenance is planned to continue for the next few hours.

Made it to 1 million users! Thanks everyone :)

Current stats:
10360 blacklist triggers, across 638 chats.
15759 filters, across 1906 chats.
1395 disabled items, across 418 chats.
420 gbanned users.
217 log channels set.
11970 notes, across 1721 chats.
1492 chats have rules set.
1000000 users, across 9985 chats
27695 overall warns, across 1755 chats.
1525 warn filters, across 398 chats.

For any privacy-conscious European users out there, I've added the /gdpr command. This will clear your bio, about, chat list, and id from the Marie database.

Warns, floods, and gbans remain. This is used for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, and thus the right of erasure does not apply to it.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone!
Hope you've all had a good week, and that you've got fun plans for the weekend!
We've reached 1.2 million users now, and we're still going strong - I was not expecting Marie to ever reach this level of popularity!

I just wanted to give you all friendly reminder that Marie is completely free to use, and that I get no income from it. However, she eats up a lot of my time; hunting for new bugs (they're getting ever so sneaky), maintaining, and providing help in @MarieSupport.
I'm just a student leading the usual broke student life; so please, if you enjoy using her in your groups, please consider donating at http://paypal.me/PaulSonOfLars! It would mean a lot to me :)

Also, I've got some exciting news coming soon on a brand new bot, written from the ground up, which should satisfy every Marie user out there; it'll have all of Marie's best features, with more customisation, speed, and of course; some new sass!

Hey everyone!
I've decided my new bot is now far enough into development to get released for wider usage; so here it is!

Introducing... @MissRose_bot ! Written in go, fully concurrent, running on a better server and without all the legacy code that was beginning to slow down Marie.

I've implemented most of Marie's best features and optimised them all as much as possible, as well as added a few new useful options; read the /help to find out more!

And of course, join @RoseSupport if you have any bugs/feature requests :)

I've been adding some cool new features to @MissRose_bot recently! For example:

Blacklists are now super powered; you can make them match full, unknown words by using the * sign. This is pretty cool if you're trying to stop people from using links! You can also choose to warn, ban, kick, or mute a user when they use blacklisted words.

I've also added a brand new feature called federations! If you're in charge of multiple groups and want to ban someone in all of them, simply add the groups to the federation, use the /fban command, and they'll be banned from all your chats! Great for protecting against spammers. This is basically like your own, personal gban :)
(note that it's a brand new feature, so there may be a few bugs - join @RoseSupport to report them!)

And of course - read Rose's /help if you want full details!

Marie is currently being attacked by spammers. If you're unhappy with the current performance, I recommend moving to @MissRose_bot instead - she's built to withstand spam, and is in active development, with lots of cool features coming up.

To those who wanted log channels in @MissRose_bot - they're now available for you to use :) as usual, read the /help for information on how to use them, and join @RoseSupport with any bug reports!
