Change log:
Notes:
• bot converts all notes to HTML from markdown automatically due to weird formatting such as \_ or note names with _ cause bot not to send notes.
• Added new /privatenotes command, Natalie will send all notes to user's private message instead of in the group if enabled. (If you do wish to keep chat clean use /privatenotes on del)

Welcome:
• improved mute execution speed, in an attempt to mute faster than spambots could spam upon joining.
• welcome mutes will now work even if you have welcome message switched off.
• new /welcomemute checkpoint, ban people on join to filter out unwanted join and only admin can allow who to join using allow button.

Pinning:
• Added the /antichannelpin command. This unpins channel messages that telegram automatically pins in any chats that have been linked to a channel (because of the 'discuss' feature). Natalie will automatically re-pin the previous pinned message.

Admin:
• /linkmode now available for public group, set the type of links you want, i.e bare, hyperlink, button, code etc. Check /help in Admin

Urban Dictionary:
• Added to show example of definition

Settings:
• Improved /settings page, check your group configurations in /settings.

Warnings:
• Fixed issue where the "Remove warn (admin only)" shows at final warns. Now it should not show the button in final warns


Misc:
• some clean up in codes.
• Added new /gifid Get the ID of GIF.
• added some fun answers to questions. Ask the bot by Can I sleep? Y/N or vice versa, sentence ending with y/n bot will give you the most random answers you need.

I am temporarily disabling Natalie's alliance system due to excessive timeout issues with telegram servers. Until we sort it out the issue, alliance will remain disabled.

There are few changes made to Natalie's preference settings, Natalie will no longer work in groups if she is NOT an admin, Therefore, If you are going to use her in your groups make sure to give her admin rights so she can work properly.

The changes were done due to large groups were constantly spamming and she is not an admin. This causes bot to request unnecessary resources such as commands, filters, and messages from Telegram's bot API.

There have been few of improvement for Natalie. Now Natalie will no longer request admin status from Telegram. To reduce considerable lag in the bot.

If the admin commands doesn't work I recommend try to run /admincache in order for her to get the new list of admins in the chatroom. Then all the admin commands will begin working again normally.

If you already have promoted new admin manually, remember to do /admincache again otherwise natalie won't know who are the admins in the chat..

Natalie Update

- Improved Flood control and alliance performance
- Some optimisations, she should respond quick as possible during peak hours
- Updated translation strings for Turkish, Tagalog and Spanish

Make sure to run /admincache in your chat if you haven't done yet. Now Natalie should work in chats even if she isn't an admin thanks to her admin caching system.

There are new features coming soon, stay tuned!

New update

- The all new moderator, now you can elevate members to moderator level using /elevate without making them an admin.

An elevated member can do the following things through Natalie:
• Ban (includes Sban)
• Kick
• Warn
• Mute (includes Smute)
• Purge/Delete messages
• Pin/Unpin (includes Permapin)
• Report Actions

To demote an elevated member use /deelevate. Elevated members cannot use commands such as filters, notes, blacklist or other than aforementioned modules.

- Some minor fixes in AFK.
- Updated language strings for elevated members.

Hercules update

Hercules will be offline for couple hours due to higher usage in the servers. He will be back on soon.

Natalie will remain online throughout spam attacks. Apologises for delayed latency.

Hercules update

Hercules is back online. Hope it's all good now.

Apologize for the downtime, Natalie was expecting spam attacks again, I've rebooted the bot again hopefully everything is settled.

Natalie update

Natalie experienced spam attacks from certain groups, she has been struggling to keep up with response. At the time I've disabled certain modules that handles messages. For now, spamwatch and among of other modules are back in.

However, I've decided to block natalie from working in groups where she isn't an admin. The reason is due to bot is unable to work as non-admin and there are certain modules that requires an admin rights to work properly. Given that fact she is made for group management. People added her as non-admin for entertainment purpose instead of giving her serious tasks such as admin duties, if you are going to use natalie just for entertainment purposes. Please do not consider using her as non-admin. Feel free to consider alternative solution.

So now I hope she is back to normal. Do not hesitate to report spammers in @NatalieSupport.

Hercules update

Bot is back online. Apologise for downtime and let us know if there still other issues..

Natalie update

We're currently testing a solution to combat all the spammers Natalie has. You might have noticed the bot slows down from around ~2PM GST to ~4PM GST. To combat this Natalie will automatically restrict some users who use too many commands in a short amount of time.

The restriction has a variable amount of time, small bursts of excessive use of commands will make people restricted for a bit while continuous spamming will result in longer restriction periods.

If you can't use commands this is the reason why, please understand that we want to give a fairly responsive bot to our users and this is a solution we're currently testing.

Natalie update

- Fixed issues where note isn't sending for media files.
- Added support for text mention in filters.
- Adjusted anti-spam timings, this should make bot more responsive.
- Language strings updated.
- New spam flood status included in /info to determine user's status whether they are blocked due to spam or not. ❄️ Is not blocked and 🔥 is blocked. If you get fire in spam flood ratings, don't panic you will get unblocked automatically. Do not spam messages during the period and constantly spamming will cause block to be extended further.
- German Language 🇩🇪 now Natalie can speak in German. (Special thanks to @MarcoChr for translation).
- Spanish ES 🇪🇸 (special thanks to @javiervb)
- Spanish AR 🇦🇷 (Special thanks to @JPNARF)
- Updated main library for better compatibility with new API version.
- Replaced deprecated /time command with new API now /time should work.

Let us know if you got issues with Natalie. Report the issues in @NatalieSupport.
