'\t \n\t \n' \
'First off, last night I finished updating the bot to use a newer version of the PRAW API for the bot, which ' \
'was a complete re-write on their end, so many things changed. With this updated API, reddit permalinks ' \
'changed from the format "https://reddit.com/r/subreddit/blah" to "/r/subreddit/blah". The bot uses the ' \
'permalink to see if you\'ve already been notified of the post, so to the bot it appeared that no one had ' \
'received alerts for their subscriptions yet. This means you all got duplicate alerts. I apologize for that, ' \
'but at least it\'s working "as it should". I was puzzled for a while last night (more like this morning) as ' \
'to why that was happening, but after a few hours of sleep and a clear mind I had a light bulb moment' \
'\t \n\t \n' \
'Secondly, earlier this month I made some changes to the subscription lexer (how the bot parses the messages ' \
'you all send it). In this process, I removed the comma from the list of reserved tokens by accident, which ' \
'means it was treated just like a normal character. This means messages like "subscribe -title GTX, 1070" ' \
'would literally check for the comma in between too (i.e. it would check for exactly "GTX, 1070" in the ' \
'title). Unfortunately, I didn\'t realize that until yesterday, a couple weeks after the bug was introduced. ' \
'I only found that out after trying to create a subscription to two subreddits within one subscription ' \
'yesterday, and it threw some weird exceptions. Luckily I was able to trace it back to the root cause ' \
'though. That bug "only" affected probably 5 of you (still way more than I\'d have liked...) who used that ' \
'feature in the last two weeks or so. Unfortunately, that means that you could have missed out on awesome ' \
'deals during the holiday season, so again I\'m very sorry. I went through the bot\'s messages and manually ' \
'checked to see who it affected, and updated the database accordingly. I\'m pretty positive I got them all, ' \
'but if you\'re at all concerned, feel free to re-subscribe to any subscription that has a comma for any ' \
'parameter.' \
'\t \n\t \n' \
'As always, thanks for using the bot everyone, and thanks for your patience! If you have ' \
'any questions feel free to ask. Happy holidays!' \
