[edit] Discussion

Hi! What do you mean by users who are instantly indefblocked? Also, we need specific backlogs you will work on, some things are not appropriate for a bot. ST47Talk 20:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Where are you getting data for indefblocked users? The block log? The IRC RC feed? ST47Talk 14:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Approved for trial. for 50 edits or 24 hours, whichever comes first, to monitor the aforementioned categories for backlog criteria and for watching the block log for indefs that aren't tagged. Make sure the bot doesn't edit war on user pages, don't blank any user's talk pages, and come back when you're done. ST47Talk 20:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Need to fix it up then, up and running in no time. :). Eaomatrix 21:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
