I have the impression that this bot spammed me [1] which I don't think user-written bots should do. 67.117.130.181 16:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcoming new users is acceptable, but this bot seems to be attempting to pressure people into registering, which isn't really acceptable. Thanks for your concern. --Deskana (talk) 17:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

It's broke too? [2] --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 18:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi everyone, I am the developer of this bot. Can you please suggest new ideas for this bot which will be worth running it. I am really interested in developing any complecated ideas. Please please put some ideas for developing a new bot. codetiger 06:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

If you need to ask that question, perhaps you should question whether designing a bot is a good idea. Or check WP:BOTREQ :-P --Deskana (For Great Justice!) 00:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 05:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
