[TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+)

[LTU_btc]

Bot is up again, my apologies for the downtime.

All good, it's great that bot is running again. Been missing it - wasn't getting notifications for some time and thought that something isn't ok. Now I don't know how I used dorum before you made this bot .

These are things that happen.

Uhmm, don't know if this will be too much to ask, but is there a way I don't get notifications from accounts I have on ignore on the forum? I keep getting notifications from accounts I have on ignore when they post on boards I'm tracking and I don't like it.
Thanks.

Just add them on the ignored users section of the bot. There is no way of automatically syncing the forum and the bot, but do you really need something like this if you're not ignoring a new user every day?

Alright, thanks. I just did.
No, I don't ignore new users everyday. There are set of accounts that post new topic everyday in some boards and most of the topics are low quality all the time so I don't like to waste my time to read it.

Is there any way to block or auto remove all topics that keep popping up on the bot?
The forum is suffering from spam bot attacks I want to block those nuke accounts and topics automatically. Is there any way to block them?

I guess your only option is to untrack that specific board for a while since adding those users to your ignore list will be pain in the a**. Or maybe Tryninja have an idea to do it, in which i think will be difficult to do.

I don't think removing or untracking specific board will work since almost all boards have spam bots I can't even use the ignore list since all posts were created by new accounts. Since the spammer has the same content, I suppose adding the "ignore phrase" might help reduce them.

Any explanation why the bot becomes stuck when I try to ignore any user?

Hmmm, yeah, this might work.

I did tried at least 3 users, but it worked just fine. Is internet not an issue? Is clicking the menu button works after you were stuck?

[alani123]

Dunno, every other function works but this one doesn't seem to for me. 😭

Suggestion: create an option to ignore notifications from users with less than a certain activity.

[Ziskinberg]

Just want to share this with everyone regarding the new accounts created to spam today, as you can see in this   thread:, which LoyceV also replied to. It’s really been bothering us who use the BOT, even though those posts get automatically deleted. LoyceV had a great suggestion, and I’m not sure if it’s been posted here too, but maybe it could help improve the system overall.

That's not the forum's fault My suggestion to TryNinja was to avoid notifications from new accounts.

[TryNinja]

The problem is that I can't really know the user's rank/activity without visiting his profile, meaning I would need to add another extra request hit to the forum for each new post.

Maybe do like merits where I scrape that number once and then add +1 for every new merit. I could save the post count of everyone and then +1 for every new post scraped.

It's easier to be gamed, but you do have the post count already. Many of the spammers have only one or a few posts, so you could exclude them from notifying users.

Right, of course.

I'll add a command to ignore new topics from users with < X posts (maybe ignore all mentions as well?).

[LoyceV]

(maybe ignore all mentions as well?).

I'd start with the new topics. If a new user quotes someone, it's probably a real post.

You can now use the command /minposts X to specify how many posts the user should have for you to get notified for new topics (where X = minimum number of posts).

For example:

/minposts 10 -> if the user has 9 posts or less, you won't get notified about new topics created by him.

Thanks for the update, it can make lot of people's lives peaceful.

I have been annoyed by those spams and put the notification on the mute and then ignored the traced boards to stay away from beep for every minute and with this it can potentially eliminate them.

But only downside is if random newbie with less number of posts will be ignored when seeking guidance so I am not sure which one is opt to pick for minposts, for now I set them on 5.
