About VoABot II

Misplaced Pages editing bot run by Voice of All
This user account is a bot operated by Voice of All (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy.
Administrators: if this bot is malfunctioning or causing harm, please block it.

Administrators: Use this button if the bot is malfunctioning. (direct link)
Non-administrators can report a malfunctioning bot to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

The point of this bot is to patrol articles and revert edits from obnoxious banned users/trolls with revolving IPs. General AOL/shared IP patrol is still unstable though (it goes off after a while).

Main Tasks

  • A) In the case were banned users continue to use sockpuppet accounts/IPs to add edits clearly rejected by consensus to the point were long term protection is required, VoABot II may be programmed to watch those pages and revert those edits instead. Such edits are considered blacklisted. IP ranges can also be blacklisted. This is reserved only for special cases.
  • B) VoABot II patrols recent changes and checks all edits by AOL and shared IP users. Any edits that match a blacklisted regexp are reverted. This is done to avoid IP revolving spammers that hit multiple pages at random. IP ranges are never blackisted, only edits. This feature is still experimental.
