Added more "bad words"
Hello bot owner, I hope you don't mind but I added more "bad words" and increased the sensitivity of the words in User:ClueBot/Source. Your bot is doing some very good work! 71.113.16.114 06:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- That list is not where you add more bad words. That list is automatically uploaded by the bot, but the bot does not read them. If you want the bot to have more bad words, please let me know and I will add them. -- Cobi 16:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have added your changes to the bot. It will be in effect next time I restart the bot. -- Cobi 17:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Bug report: edit conflicts
The bot seems to ignore edit conflicts. Check here. Owen× ☎ 16:54, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

- That problem has now been fixed. -- Cobi 00:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, it does appear to be working now. I took the liberty of removing the "or IP address" bits from the registered user instructions, just to avoid confusion. 24.6.65.83 01:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
possible bug (rapid successions of edits)
I've noticed that rapid successions of edits tend to confuse Cluebot's vandalism report log. Here's what just happened (all times are local times):
- 2007-08-12 19:13:16 - Kerkyt16 (talk · contribs) vandalizes the bull shark article.
- 2007-08-12 19:13:20 - I see the vandalism and revert the article.
- 2007-08-12 19:13:22 - Kerkyt16 vandalizes the article again just two seconds later, probably by clicking the "Save page" button multiple times.
- 2007-08-12 19:13:25 - ClueBot reverts the article this time. I'm guessing that the bot was still trying to revert the first edit when Kerkyt16 vandalized again.
This caused the following to appear on the bot's vandalism log:
Possible vandalism: Bull shark was changed by Kerkyt16 (c) (t) replacing content with 'Local Mann found dead on bottom of teal lake after and apparent Shark attackA shark was planted in teal lake to eat little fish and make the lake good for peop...' on 2007-08-13T02:13:17+00:00 ClueBot 02:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The first edit was actually reverted by me. For the second edit, the bot thinks that it beat itself, which isn't possible! This is not a major issue, but you might want to look into this. --Ixfd64 02:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I believe you are right about what happened. I will see what I can do about the cosmetic errors. -- Cobi 02:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
1RR?
Is there a reason why there is a limit to the number of times the bot can revert an article per day? I don't think any of the other bots have this limitation and removing this limit (or at least raising it to something like 5) would help ClueBot remove more vandalism. Just a suggestion. Congrats on getting the bot approved, it has done a lot of work toward removing vandalism. :) --Hdt83 Chat 05:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- This was due to popular consensus in #wikipedia-en and #wikipedia-BAG. It was to prevent edit wars on false positives. -- Cobi 06:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
