"Matched: None"
Hi DQ. Just saw that the bot did this at UAA. Is that a bug? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:57, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Technically, yes it is a bug. What I think it is (I still yet have to find the source) is that it's the similar characters it's catching on. And since it finds it there, it's not using the reason on the blacklist as it should. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  17:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Turd
Yeah, I know, what lovely section header to come online to! ;) Anyway, the bot doesn't appear to have caught but "turd" is on the blacklist. Any idea why not?  HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   14:53, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, now that I know about it, but it would be better not to disclose what the issue was. --  DQ  (t)   (e)  19:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

IP block exemption/log
It seems that sometimes there are really no changes, but the bot is only updating the hidden comments. Is there a particular need for the hidden comments (at all), or for them to be continually updated if no changes to the displayed content of the page? – xeno talk 18:20, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't need to do that, your right. It's a bug that I've been meaning to fix, but life has floated on me a bit. I should be able to do something at a random point in the next week. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  19:02, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool =) – xeno talk 19:44, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Poop patrol
Hi, any chance of another bot run? Thanks.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  15:47, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, just let me know when you need them. I'll try and get something setup so you just need to do something on wiki, but that'll be after i fix the IPBE module. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  18:56, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, the next day or two would be good, then it will probably be late August before I'm around much. If possible I'd like to get back on a weekly cycle in September.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  20:47, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Bot is editing disruptively ... get it under control
The bot has continued to restore two UAA reports and, despite repeated removals by many editors (the sort of thing that gets human editors blocked). Daniel Case (talk) 14:55, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It's lagging by 5 days. Help DQ! — G FOLEY   F OUR!  — 03:54, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've just temporarily stopped the bot; I'm sorry I had to do it, but it had become disruptive. Feel free to revert my action without notifying me. Cheers. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 11:04, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Just looked things over, ya this doesn't seem right. I'll see if an update of the active time helps...or investigate other avenues. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  13:58, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Here is a quick findings report:
 * The bot has not been completing its full cycle because the server cuts it off every 5 minutes and with delays of up 30 seconds due to lags onwiki there is no wonder it wouldn't finish it's work
 * Solution: Divide the check waitlist and the check username modules into two different tasks
 * User age being incorrectly read
 * Solution: I think there is a pywikipedia module that can solve that issue.
