——————————
JoinCaptchaBot has an "ignore list" (whitelist) for each group, where group Admins can add any trusted user.
The users in that list won't be requested to solve the captcha, and they can freely join the group.
This is useful to allow blind people joins the group without problems.
Remember the commands for this:
/ignore_list - list of ignored users.
/add_ignore - Add an user to ignore list.
/remove_ignore - Remove an user from ignore list.

Limitación del Bot:
——————————
Ha pasado bastante tiempo desde que JoinCaptchaBot nació (2018), fue uno de los primeros Bots de Captchas en Telegram que surgió para plantar cara y luchar contra los crecientes y molestos userbots que constantemente se unen a grupos de Telegram para publicar Spam o leer y exportar silenciosamente los mensajes de los usuarios, para propósitos desconocidos.
A diferencia de lo que pasa con otros Bots, mantengo una filosofía de software libre con licencia GNU-GPLv3, y también, hospedo, mantengo y ofrezco una instancia del Bot de forma gratuita para que la use cualquiera en sus grupos, @join_captcha_bot.
Me alegra ver cuánto ha crecido el uso desde su lanzamiento, sin embargo, su utilización en grupos grandes donde muchos usuarios/userbots se unen constantemente comienza a afectar a la funcionalidad del Bot, causando una gran sobrecarga que afecta a todos los grupos y usuarios (el Bot demora en responder), por lo que voy a limitar su uso gratuito para que solo pueda funcionar en grupos con menos de 1000 miembros, y conseguir con esto que funcione de forma adecuada.
Ahora, cuando @join_captcha_bot detecte que entra un nuevo usuario en un grupo con 1000 o más miembros, el Bot abandonará el grupo y mostrará un mensaje que indica que se ha alcanzado el límite de uso gratuito en ese grupo.
Para aquellos que tienen el Bot en grupos con más de 1000 miembros, he creado otra instancia del Bot (en este caso privada), @pro_join_captcha_bot, que puede usarse sin estos límites/restricciones en los grupos si se realiza una donación.

Free Bot Limitation:
——————————
It has been a while since JoinCaptchaBot was born (2018), it was one of the first Telegram Captcha Bots that stands up to fight against the increasing and annoying Telegram userbots that constantly joins into groups to publish Spam or silently reads and export all group users messages and data for unknown purpouses.
Unlike other Bots, I keep a free software filosophy and license it to be GNU-GPLv3, and also, I host, mantain and offer an instance of the Bot free to be used by anyone in their groups, the @join_captcha_bot.
I'm glad to see how much its use has grown since its launch, however, its usage in large groups where a lot of users/userbots joins constantly start affecting the Bot functionality and causing overload to everyone (Bot delays to response), so I have to limit it usage to only be used in groups with less than 1000 members to keep it working ok.
Now, when @join_captcha_bot detects a new join in a group with more than 1000 members, it will leave the group and shows a text indicating that the free usage limit in that group has been reached.
For those that have the Bot in groups with more than 1000 members, I provide another (in this case private) Bot instance, @pro_join_captcha_bot, that can be used without limits/restrictions in a group if you make a donation.
