-Bot
Do we want to think about revoking the bot's flag? At one point, someone suggested blocking the account. I think that might be a tad drastic, but I'd support removal of bot status. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 18:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree and would also support removing the bot flag. -within focus 02:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Removing the bot flag, will make it at a lot easier for recent change patrollers to track any abusive actions. Blocking can always be done later if it seems necessary. --dark lama  00:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * My goodness. Yes, deflag it. -- SB_Johnny | PA! 00:43, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The bot flag only serves to hide edits from the RC list, and therefore make it harder to patrol those edits. If we remove the admin flag from the user because that user cannot be expected to know all the necessarily policies and procedures as they change over time, then it makes good sense to remove the bot flag because the user cannot be expected to make mass-edits according to current policy and procedure. Plus, we like verification that a bot works without malfunctioning before it gets the flag, so it makes sense that we should get to see significant verification that the bot still works in order to keep the flag. If the bot isn't being used, we can't possibly get that kind of verification. --Whiteknight (Page) (Talk) 00:43, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * wasn't this the bot that caused problems a year or so ago? -- SB_Johnny | PA! 13:36, 5 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it was, went on a random edit spree. -within focus 23:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Well then ✅. -- SB_Johnny | PA! 01:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
