Links are both useful and di main source of spam in chats. In dis update we made link moderation truly flexible: you decide who fit send which links.
Conditions for sending links
Instead of a blunt "ban everyone", there are now conditions. To send a link, a member fit first: join di group, subscribe to your channel or invite friends. Dis not only protects against random advertisers but turns di right to post a link into a growth tool — pipo subscribe and bring in new members.
Member and link filters
Now you fit filter by a member's attributes — for example, allow links only from those who have a @username or photo (spam bots usually don't). And di links themselves are filtered by category, so you separate di useful from di unwanted without banning everything.
Black and white lists
Full control: add domains and members to a blacklist to block, or to a whitelist to always allow. And deletion notifications fit be set up however suits you: quietly clean di chat or warn di offender.
Takeaway
Link moderation is no longer a choice between "chaos" and "everything banned". Flexible conditions, filters and lists give you a clean chat without losing convenience for normal pipo. Details are in di changelog.
