Exclusion Compliant
The PinpointBot family is proud to be exclusion compliant (including message opt-out where applicable!).

PinpointBot Respect
PinpointBot Respect is designed as a collaborative vandalism-fighting tool. It utilises Wikipedia's greatest feature, collaborative editing, to help deal with Wikipedia's greatest weakness, collaborative editing.

Users will be able to edit Respect's rules library to develop the ultimate vandalism-detection tool. By allowing vetted users to add to its ruleset, Respect will provide a solution for finding vandalism that slips past other, more careful, bots.

Respect is named as such because it does not interfere with the operation of Wikipedia in any way. It requests very little information from Wikipedia, is controlled manually and never, ever, edits the article namespace. It simply logs vandal activity that bots with fixed rulesets miss.

PinpointBot loves Wikipedia
PinpointBot doesn't want to harm Wikipedia. In fact, it really wants to help. If you appreciate PinpointBot then give it some hugs and barnstars. It loves the attention! If it screws up, please don't try to get it shut down! It is a labour of love and there's nothing some patches won't fix.
