[edit] Your Bot, Shadowbot

Hi, your bot reverted my Edit which was constructive. So, i wanted to revert the revert but i dont want the bot to revert my revert. You see? If i revert the bots edit, will it begin a revert war with me? Thanks Yaanch^Speak! 19:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Never mind! Yaanch^Speak! 20:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for picking up the Werdnabot archiver!

Just wanted to say thank you - I hadn't even noticed that Werdnabot was offline. It's great to see others stepping up to take over a voluntary service in this manner! --Alvestrand 19:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I'm glad I can help. Shadow1 (talk) 18:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unnecessary archiving

This user is banned and the bot keeps archiving the same stuff:

Maybe that bot subscription should be deleted? -- Fyslee (collaborate) 20:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shadowbot doesn't seem to work with one URL

I recently added 64.176.63.72 (IP address of freshswing.com, which the spammer is using now) to Shadowbot's request page, which was approved. However the spammer appears to be able to use that in a link without any action from Shadowbot. Was the regex in fact added, or was the spammer's IP address used instead maybe? Thanks :-) Carl Lindberg 16:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Shadowbot is reporting that the IP address exists on its blacklist, so it should be reverting. I'll watch for the additions and see if it's producing any errors. Shadow1 (talk) 16:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the spammer has tried the IP address since, but he seems to be able to use freshswing.com when he replaces existing URLs (as opposed to adding new ones). Is that supposed to be allowed by Shadowbot? Just checking ;-) Carl Lindberg 04:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It shouldn't. I'll talk to the operator of the bot that feeds Shadowbot link information about it. Shadow1 (talk) 00:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] THE ONLY ONES

Stop deleting legitimate links from the Only Ones page. Why do you refuse to discuss anything and brand people spammers?

simple that site is spam read WP:EL Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 15:40, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Do not LIE. It states you should not link to discussion forums is they are not directly about the subject. The forum is deciated to the subject. That policiy puts me in the right, and you in the wrong. Simple as that. Stop vandalising.

172.201.152.213 15:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

No, it does not. You were spamming the link into the article despite multiple warnings, please read WP:SPAM for more information on this. Shadow1 (talk) 18:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saviours Of Rock.com

I have a problem where your bot is systematically deleting everything that links to our site!! anything with savioursofrock.com in it. I dont know what the problem is, they're just cd reviews and stuff, theres plenty of other sites linked from Wiki, and it was never a problem before. I have an acoount under Saviour Of Rock and also Wolf5150. Very shattered as it took me a while to put all those links in over like 6 months. Then all of a sudden, BANG no more. Dowt! Please help! Thank you

Wolf5150 07:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

You were adding the link in a way that wikipedia defines as spam. It has therefore been blacklisted. Moreover, seen your username, it was suspected you had a conflict of interest. Also, may I ask you to read WP:SOCK, thank you. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 09:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

How is it then that other sites like the All Music Guide and many others can display their links on hundreds of Wiki pages and not others. This is very discriminative. I understand from a bot's point of view tho. Is it possible then to un-blacklist our site name then? I assure you we meant nothing devious. It is a non-profit site, and if anything it costs us more money to run than what we make LOL
