== AOL reverter vandal ==

Now, I don't know the capabilities of the various bots, so I can't tell if AVB or TB2 can watch for this sort of thing, of it possibly I should ask VoA to deal with it with his, but I'd ''really'' appreciate it if you got back with me.

==How AntiVandalBot recognizes vandalism==

Hello. I've been using Misplaced Pages for some time now and I've noticed a lot of difference bots in my time but I was wondering how AVB can tell the difference between regular edits and blatant vandalism. I have no idea how bots function and have no intention of creating a bot in the future, but I'm just curious how he can tell the difference betwen the two. Thanks.

P.S. - Please reply here and congradulations on all of the awards, your adminship, and all of your hard work here at Misplaced Pages. Keep it up! // ]]]] 02:10, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
: I did not program the bots, but have been watching and interacting with them for quite a while. I was also given a summary of the then-list of criteria quite a few months back. Basically the bot(s) watch all edits, and parse every one through a set of checks. If the bot matches any of the current criteria, and does not meet any of a number of white-listing criteria, then it is considered a vandalism, and is handled as such. Amoung the white-listing is a list of all admins. The bots are not supposed to revert admins in general. As for the vandalism criteria, I'd rather not say. In general we do not want the information publically out there. But I will give one common example. Page blanking. Blank out a page, and the bot is very likely to flag the edit as vandalism. In general, watch the things that the bot reverts. Each revert triggered at least one vandalism criteria. So look at a revert, at what was done and what was reverted, and think about what it is about that specific edit that the bot could have triggered on. - ] 14:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
::Pretty much, it's now a bot, we moved it to the toolserver and it speeds up things a fair bit. Right now it checks (or is supposed to) all IP edits, all "new" account edits and thats about it. Pretty much it's blatantly obvious things (etc) that get the vandalism, there are a few other things which I don't really want to tip off the vandals in a public channel. Feel free to email me though :) -- ] 18:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Fair enough. I can see why you'd want to have a private chat when it comes to these kind of things ^_^. I'll be using my mom's e-mail address (unless I make my own) but I won't be able to get to you until the weekend. Thanks. // ]]]] 02:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Are you a bot - response ==

How are you able to test AVB? I thought that it finds vandalism in a semi-random manner since it can't check every single article at once. Anyway the only reason I caught it fast was because I was repeatedly checking my watchlist back then. ] 19:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, even if it means taking it off the toolserver and going back to the old way of doing things. Vandals are blanking pages left, right and centre – ] 19:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Check other modifications by same user with bot ==

Is there any way you could do this? Often, a user who had a change reverted by the bot also performed many other vandalizations. If the bot could check through the user's edits, it would help clear out vandalism even faster.

==Re: LOL==

Well, I did unblock myself, which I guess is ok in this situation. It is pretty funny, and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does that either. Strange things can happen while trying to keep up with all the vandalism. Am I the only one who feels like there is more vandalism than usual today? And I am reverting only the edits of the users that AntiVandalBot catches. ] 22:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
