[edit] Discussion

  • I'm concerned that "welcome new member" type tasks do not historically have consensus to be done by bots - can you explain this task in more detail? —Random832 14:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The sandbox is already thoroughly cleaned, although more the merrier I supposed. In addition, welcome bots are usually always denied as the point of welcoming new users with a bot basically defeats the purpose of welcoming them. More details on how the bot will actually preform these actions, IE: Cleaning the Sandbox will also give the BAG a better overview to make a more informed decision.

  • (edit conflicted) Declined for the welcome part. Also, with all due respect, the operator seems quite unexperienced in my opinion. The bot also run unapproved before OverlordQ reported it. Snowolf How can I help? 15:50, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
  • His bot has more edits than him already... Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 16:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
This should be declined because the operator has less than 50 edits and all appropriate tasks are already performed by other bots. 24.84.40.108 (talk) 17:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)— 24.84.40.108 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Theres nothing wrong with duplicate bots. Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 20:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Denied. Looking over the user's contributions, I do not believe they have enough experience as of yet. Soxred93 | talk bot 22:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
