UPDATE

Tuesday, 6th of July 2021

• Undertale Amino will be on a FULL Lockdown until the 13th of July (aka NO ONE will be accepted in the Amino for the next seven days) due to today's events in which russian raiders using Python scripts have entered the community disguised as normal s. This 7 day period will be used in order to research and develop a proper protocol and rules for whom will be allowed to enter the community after the one week period has ended.

Hello UTA! Today, on the 29th of June, 2021 at 2:45 PM (GMT +1 time) this Amino has turned Approval Required for an unknown amount of time in order to combat and hopefully stop the advertising bot waves (and recently the harmful bot waves that freeze your Amino if you're in a chat with them) from accessing the community.

To put it bluntly, nothing in a negative aspect of things. It seems that our Listed status has not actually disappeared (whether that is a glitch or intended by TA is something even we are unaware of) and that was the major downside to our community, as it would reduce our visibility. However, this means that the Leaders will be constantly checking the Amino Community Manager in order to make sure that everyone who tries to the community will actually it, and will be able to manage and refuse entry to bots.

Which brings us to the good news. Bots will now be unable to the community and spam your PMs or freeze your Amino. Sadly, given that bot profiles are constantly changing, one or two may still appear, but those can be easily removed if their MESSAGES (NOT the s) are flagged under Off-Topic or Spam. But, one bot or two every day is better than four hundred.

Given we have barely had this option enabled for less than 3 hours, certain features may not be known to us from the very beginning, so if you have any questions or anything you are concerned of, do tell us in the comments below and one of the mods will answer you.

Additionally, any updates or new things we find out will be added in this post and you all will be noticed, much like we did with the Standalone Apps PSA (which is also rumoured to further help getting rid of bots Amino-wise).
