I noticed that we missed out on the /help command mention on start text and no button callback for help was added

Next update we will fix the start menu and include help as a button.
Sorry about that.

✳️ Side Trivia: Why not to use a random new bot by random person?

So recently someone got the bot token of a fork (not mentioning which bot) and then logged in, banned plenty members from groups using the token.
The bot owner gave the token willingly to one of its devs and the dev abused it and tried to take hostage asking to free up usernames.

This is just one example of why you should not run random forks if you don't know what you are doing and for users and group admins, please avoid adding random wannabe new bots in your groups just cause someone guy comes
and says "hey, would you add my bot? i will give you special features"

So comes the question of what to use?
Best is to run your own bot and never share any access/token to anyone unless you absolutely trust them.

Not a techie? what's the alternative?
For those who have anime eccentric groups can always ask us at @OnePunchSupport to let them use @SaitamaRobot

For anyone else we recommend @AllMightRobot or @KigyoRobot (Kigyo is also hosted on same server as Saitama so your members, messages are safe from harm)

✳️ Small July Update

Translation module:

This should keep it running for a while

Saitama is down, idk why, I'm gonna sleep.
Good night.

Edit: this was resolved, tho it still did go down today as well, something seems up with telegram as phoenix and other bots also went down and they are not hosted on our server

So just a heads up that our go lang rewrite is making progress.
Feds are now in progress which would means most of the modules would be at a useable level soon.

This message is a heads up for those who wanted multi lang on Saitama because they will get it on the go lang version so we will need all your help to translate the bot in various languages.

Look forward to the new Saitama

✳️ Public Alpha Test for @SaitamaGoRobot

As most of you already know that a rewrite for Saitama Robot has been in the making for quite some time, to help speed things up we have decided to setup a bugs and suggestions reporting group for the testing instance.

Note: SaitamaGoRobot is just a testing bot, it is not a replacement for SaitamRobot (for now)

Those who are interested in seeing the new version or testing things before anyone else can well...follow the spiders...

🤖 New Bot to the Team!

A lot of users have been asking us to let Saitama be added to groups, Sai is our main group management bot - we simply cant have him do more than its capability allows.

To help mitigate this issue we have launched a new bot!
Same Saitama code, same commands and same functionalities.

Welcome - Mob!
Shigeo Kageyama - Known to anime fans as simply...Mob will be joining Kaizoku to help with group management and support.
Feel free to invite Mob by adding @ShigeoRobot

• Moved the dict DB folder to Bot folder instead of users folder
• If AFK is disabled then don't even say un-afk messages in that group
• Improvements to /leave command for devs
• Bot's name is dynamically fetched across repo instead of hardcoded "Saitama"
• /echo command if send empty and in reply to a message now echoes that message
• Some updates like moving PM start text, bot start image etc to config file so that we can deploy more copies with minimal changes to the repo code
• Filters now reply to the user who triggered it, earlier we had filters that reply to no one but looking at how users can just use telegram channel comments its best that

🐞 Small Bug Fix Update

• Dictionary module is enabled and stable
• Mandatory reason needed on /report
• Edited the lockdown leave reply
