Line 39:

:#The bot must not post more than three notices to a single user talk page within any 24 hour period. If this limit would otherwise be exceeded, the third notice shall include a link to a sub-page of the bot's userspace to which all subsequent notices for the same user produced within the remainder of the 24 hour period will be posted.

::However, the preceding three restrictions would not apply to the extent that editors have expressly opted in to receive messages outside the scope of the restrictions. [[User:Erik9|Erik9]] ([[User talk:Erik9|talk]]) 16:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

To Erik9: I will take your input into consideration. Personally, I believe that G1-3 have less in common than you do. G1 states specifically that it does not cover vandalism, and in any case it has an extremely narrow scope. Patent nonsense and test pages likewise have very little in common. RFA is rife with examples of people abusing G1 and getting hammered for it. I do see your point about G3 and G10 though, and G11 and G12. Maybe G2 and A7, but I'd like more input on that; A7 would seem like it would override in that case. I'm not doing point 2 in your suggestions; pages are edited after the placing of a CSD tag all the time and very rarely are those edits substantial. In the case that they were, I already stated that I'm going to have the bot search for language in the edit that denies the speedy stating that the initial tagging was appropriate, and I'll make that search as expansive as I can. As for the third point, that's a good idea. I'll do that.

To The Earwig: I currently run another bot ([[User:DyceBot]]) that has somewhere on the order of 35,000+ edits. I realize that Pywikipedia caters a bit to people who have no programming experience, but it's also a rather robust and functional bot framework. Also it's written in Python and I like Python. As I said above the code for the bot is mostly written at this point, and after I fine-tune it a bit I'll put it up on the web somewhere for people to look at. I'll hopefully get around to commenting the code a bit before posting it too.--[[User:Dycedarg|<span style="border:1px solid red;color:red; padding:1px;background:#000">'''Dycedarg'''</span>]] [[User talk:Dycedarg|'''<span style="color:#000000">&#x0436;</span>''']] 17:18, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
