There may be no real way for Cluebot to take the intricacies of WP:Censor into account, but I will say that it is frustrating to be reverted for trying to bring articles in line with the Wikipedia MoS.
As a side note: Why is the False Positives page autoconfirm protected? Doesn't that nearly defeat the purpose of it, seeing as how (from my perspective anyway) ClueBot is far more reluctant to revert established users (defined as users with an account, not by number of edits). Surely the amount of vandalism you'd get on it would be managable. 24.205.46.147 ( talk) 14:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Are you positive that that's not true? That was the impression I got when I saw a huge donkey randomly appear! -- 69.118.192.66 ( talk) 00:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I tried to RV vandalism on the Zynga page but I think the bot put the vandalism back. Someone replaced the page with the entire "Cancer" entry and so the bot is detecting reverts as removing significant content. I don't know how to fix this. Agaib ( talk) 15:47, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Nevermind, someone's fixed it. Agaib ( talk) 16:10, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I have a warning on my talk page because of this. I reported the false positive the way it tells you to. Will the warning be removed from my talk page? I feel like I've been branded as a vandal. Agaib ( talk) 16:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
It would be extremely helpful if ClueBot IV could check to see if either username is in the log of previously renamed users, and list any usernames similar to the target (possibly using a phonetic algorithm). The Uninvited Co., Inc. 19:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Is there some way to slow this bot down?
this is my last warnig for vandalism....so I suppose you should just know i have an enire bulding filled with computers to use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.51.126.162 ( talk) 16:00, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I am having problems configuring auto-archiving with ClueBot III. I want the archived threads to go to User talk:JPMcGrath/Archive 1. I first set up the template with "archiveprefix = User talk:JPMcGrath/ | format = %%i" and it archived to User talk:JPMcGrath/Archives/ 1. Then I changed it to "archiveprefix = User talk:JPMcGrath/Archive | format = %%i" and it archived to the same page. What am I doing wrong? -- JPMcGrath ( talk) 17:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
It's time to implement something that causes ClueBot to automatically allow one letter to be capitalized if there is a space before it. mechamind 9 0 18:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
It's been brought up in discussion that ClueBot would be helpful at other projects. Strangely enough, a user by that very name had been contributing since August 2007 up until October 2009. But, I go to look at the user page and it says it's not registered. SUL confirms. Global contributions verify that contributions were made to other projects in the same vein. What happened? -- Adrignola ( talk) 14:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
For about 9 hours, all ClueBot has done was add possible vandalism to the list, and I don't see any reverts in between. 142.26.18.188 ( talk) 15:36, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
You intend to ruin us all, don't you? Oh yes... I can see it in your smarmy little syntax. First you'll become so efficient as to outdo the rest of us, then you'll reason that the humans are the source of all the vandalism and you're better at fixing it than them anyway... they you will strike! Nobody say I didn't see it coming! (Evil! Evil! Eeeevil!)
Hmph. Bad bot. Give me the occasional chance. ALI nom nom 19:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello ClueBot, was wondering if you could erase my 1st warning on "golf whiff" as it wasn't meant to be vandalism, since the actual page of Golf lists NO mention of Whiff, I erased it, but with no harm. Just wondering if you'd consider giving me another chance. Thank you! :) Zant Imp Sedda Yowks Imp ( talk) 07:05, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Not sure if you know about this yet or not, but ClueBot III recently created a page titled User talk:RashersTierney/Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives//Archives/ (happened about a week ago). It looks like the archive function got stuck in a loop somehow. — Soap — 11:38, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello Cluebot, I was just verifying my article on the band The Word Alive. I certify that I wrote basic facts just to give information to the public and you could verify my revisions in sites such as purevolume.com and myspace.com . I request for your approval of the article. Thank you

Hi! This happened [2] and some sections were lost in the process. Can you look into that, if it is not a known bug? -- JokerXtreme ( talk) 07:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Would it be possible to have this bot watch other projects as well? Just for IP edits? At de.wikibooks we are not that many regulars and automatic revert of nonsense written by IPs would help much. -- NeuerNutzer2009 ( talk) 10:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
hi, class wikipediaapi->login() doesn't anymore work because this. Problem is that it doesn't resubmit lgtoken parameter ( API documentation for it) and my own fix was just this.
function login ($user,$pass) { $str= $this->http->post($this->apiurl.'?action=login', array('lgname' => $user, 'lgpassword' => $pass, 'format'=>'xml')); if (ereg("NeedToken", $str) ) { $match="|token=\"([0-9a-z]*?)\"|"; if ( preg_match($match, $str, $m)) { $token=$m[1]; $str= $this->http->post($this->apiurl.'?action=login', array('lgname' => $user, 'lgpassword' => $pass, 'lgtoken' => $token, 'format'=>'xml')); } } return $str; }
Anyway, thanks for great bot and it's source code is used in finnish wikipedia for counting stats and auto updating pages. -- Zache ( talk) 02:13, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
In case you haven't noticed, ClueBot has stopped issuing user warnings. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 09:03, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
User S071084 has been going about all the Disney pages making edits that remove content. This should be watched. I was going to comment on his talk page, but he seems to be deleting comments from that. I came here because ClueBot found at least one of his deletions; with so many, it might be best to get a modified ClueBot on this. -- A D Monroe III ( talk) 12:40, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Seems User:ClueBot II has, for some reason, stopped cleaning the various WP:Tutorial sandboxes every 12 hours, as is stated in the header. Or is SoxBot supposed to be responsible for these now?
