User talk:Σ/Archive/2019/December

How do I stop the abject stupidity?
I'm finding significant annoyance with Lowercase sigmabot III and am looking for a way to turn it off.

The bot keeps reappearing at Talk:Electric guitar and stuffing posts — not, incidentally, mine alone — into one increasingly HUGE Archive page. Bad enough when it staggers foully past after 4-6 months, but sometimes it has arrived like a drunken Godzilla after ''less than three hours.

As a result, there is pretty much ZERO opportunity for erstwhile editors to discuss changes and how they could be made, far much less any immediately clear way to share our rationalizations as to what we did and why. Editors show up at Electric guitar and blithely re-add (not revert) what someone else has recently deleted (even re-deleted).

While I'm all for the be bold anarchic nonsense and the joy of unfettered butchery, this really needs to cease. As well, I'm interested in knowing why THAT article has been singled out for such obsessed attention. Weeb Dingle (talk) 18:26, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
 * , there is a template at the top of the page (added in 2015) to automatically archive old sections. It's configured (in that template) to archive threads after 31 days, so I've changed it to 365 days. Feel free to change it to whatever you want or remove it altogether. Also consider using Template:Do not archive until in threads that will be unresolved for a while. czar  03:06, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Script error
Hi, Sigma. Your archiving script did a strange thing during this edit. See Line 395 and Line 446/Line 405 in the diff. GUYWAN ( t &middot; c ) 13:09, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm not. Are you referring to User:Σ/Testing_facility/Archiver? → Σ σ  ς. (Sigma) 03:29, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
