Almost by accident, @CalsiBot has become the best Group Administration bot.

Many people tell me that they want to use CalsiBot for Group Admin, but they can't because all the fun commands (/hug, /roll, /fish, etc.) get in the way too much.

I'm very happy to announce:
/AdminMode!

This disables all "fun" commands so that you aren't forced to use crappy, data-stealing, privacy-invading, badly-coded, constantly-dying alternatives. 😌

I'm confident that combined with being able to speak multiple languages (coming soon) this brings CalsiBot even closer to perfection.

Many thanks for your heartwarming feedback :)

2019-09-02 - @CalsiBot Update

New:
- CalsiBot now supports Group Permissions!
⚠️ This means that if you have allowed all members to Pin Messages or Change Group Info, they will now be able to perform those actions (and a few more) using bot commands - you can find the full list at the end of this post.

- Added /unban (same as /unrestrict but easier to type and remember)

Updated:
- /MyFish and /TrophyFish now work in groups even when fishing is disabled
- /dox revamp
- Fixed an error in /SetWelcome where it would never set the Welcome Message (thanks to my 🇿🇦 friends)
- Improved translations (/tr English and others now work as expected, without having to be lowercase)
- /name now always shows the name in full, without any truncation

Notes:
- With the "Pin Messages" Group Permission enabled, all members will be able to use:
/pin and /unpin (more info)

- With the "Change Group/Chat Info" Group Permission enabled, all members will be able to use:
/EnableFishing and /DisableFishing (AKA /EnableFish and /DisableFish)
/title and /chatname (AKA /cn) (more info)
/pfp (more info)
/SetWelcome and /RemoveWelcome (AKA /DeleteWelcome)

2018-12-31 - @CalsiBot Update

It's new years time again! I hope you all are having a wonderful day/evening/night/why-the-hell-are-you-awake-right-now, and that 2019 is a year of happiness for you.

Also, I've apparently never mentioned that in additon to /hug, and /pat - /ruffle, /cuddle, and /snuggle also exist. Now is as good a time as any to try them out, if that is news to you!

Updates/Notes:
- AutoPreview and Preview will be deprecated (removed), because Telegram will fully support streaming for both Audio and Video files soon! Woop! If there's any reason you can think of why this feature removal shouldn't happen, please let me know
- Some behind-the-scenes tweaks to message handling
- Improvements to Join Limit and its friends to be ready for Telegram's upcoming revamp of the group permissions system
- Many thanks for your continued support and love for this weird bot 💕
- Don't forget to collect your once in a lifetime 2019 New Year /TrophyFish by catching at least one fish before the 2nd!

2018-02-20 - @CalsiBot Update

New:
- No Verify? No problem. Banned spambots will no longer leave behind an annoying wall of "🤖 xyz was automatically removed" messages. For attentive admins, this information will still be available in the group's Recent Actions log.

- Forwarded messages are now ignored, so you can finally share your /fish or /roll success stories with your friends, without accidently triggering the bot.

- New /slap insults...because why not 🙃

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! :)

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 🙃

/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 😌

🆕🔊

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

Introducing Join Lock!

Easily prevent Spam Bots, User Bots, and Group Raids 💪

New joiners will be automatically banned. You can then quickly make one-time exceptions for friends, or people you trust

Starting today, when the Ban User button is pressed by an admin, the Welcome Message is removed to help prevent text-spam - thanks to those who suggested this 👍

⚠️🗣 Group Admins with enough permissions can now specify a Welcome Message by using the

/SetWelcome

command!

Useful for just a simple greeting, or perhaps a set of group rules.

Don't let spammers ruin your New Years...
