+Bot
Its edits seem to be good, and I don't know where bots are approved on WB, so I'm putting it up here. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 11:52, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The purpose of the bot flag is to prevent bots from flooding the RC page. This account (which may not be a bot, in spite of its name) has only a handful of edits so far.  I am not inclined to enable the bot flag until its volume goes up, or until its operator requests it (in anticipation of the volume going up).  --Jomegat (talk) 12:19, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hiding the edits for an unclaimed bot with no disclosed purpose invites disaster. It could be that the account is not being run by a script and someone is masquerading as a bot hoping to get a flag without going through the process in order to conduct malicious activity.  They could wreak havoc across this smaller wiki with their edits hidden and go undiscovered for some time.  Not a risk I'm willing to take when we don't even know who the operator is. -- Adrignola talk contribs 12:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose. As per your request for Hilmarc10, above, it is for the requester to come and ask for the flag. Until that happens no permission will be granted. If the operator requests the flag, my view is that the interwiki links it is adding are pretty useless (e.g., to Template:Mbox/doc) and we have no need for a bot here that does that. That's in addition to Jomegat and Adrignola's comments, both of which I agree with. QU TalkQu 12:46, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
