False positives and false negativesIf you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor.

How long does it take for ClueBot to work? I just set it up.--JTZegers

- Assuming you're meaning your talk page, you set it to 720 so it's threads that are over 30 days that it'll archive.-- 5 albert square (talk) 00:10, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism after blocks
Hi! What is CBNG's threshold for reporting to AIV? How old does a warning have to be? Does it take account of previous blocks? It seems to me that the threshold could be lowered a little. For example, it gave a level 1 warning to User talk:71.224.82.240, but that IP had a level 4 warning nine days ago and has been blocked twice since then. In cases like this, a re-block is necessary and I would rather have CBNG report straight to AIV, perhaps including a ping to the previous blocking admin. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:49, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- HJ Mitchell I'm sure ClueBot NG now reports after 3 warnings and I think it's 48 hours before it considers warnings stale. I'm not sure that it would take into account blocks, it may well not because if it's an IP then it could be re-assigned to another user. I agree with your suggestion though. -- 5 albert square (talk) 17:29, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Spacing of archive sections
I wish to report that I use ClueBot III to archive my Talk page, but when I review the source text of the archive, I find that ClueBot is not spacing the sections properly. After a ClueBot III automatic archive, there is no space between the previous section, and the newly archived section. Thus, I am having to manually add a line break between the archived sections. Example of a ClueBot III archive before I manually add a line break...
== Section heading A ==
Text belonging to Section A.
== Section heading B ==
After ClueBot III performs an archive, Section B's heading is butted against text belonging to the previous section. Before the archiving, the sections were properly spaced (I have verified this), but after archiving, they're not. They should be separated by a line break that normally follows the text.

- This does not seem to change the rendered page at all for me (I just verified it). It seems to render fine with or without the extra line break in the wikitext. What issue are you seeing? Perhaps a screenshot of ClueBot III's wikitext failing to render? -- Cobi 15:07, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
