Sounds good ;-) . Do you have the script done? I am interested in seeing it. ~   Wi ki  her mit  19:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You'll meed to ensure it doesn't report blocked users or report users who are already reported, and we need code for this sort of task. --ST47 Talk·Desk 19:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * (e.c.) Yes, there are quite a few bots that do "that kind of stuff". Can you provide more details? How will it recognize vandalism? How will it check for bad usernames? — M ETS 501 (talk) 19:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Will the bot be able to identify previous warnings? How will you do this? Will it report users after three warnings, or four? What if a user receives uw-vandal4 as the only warning? Will it report it then? How many edits will it roll back when undoing vandalism? ~   Wi ki  her mit  19:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Absolutely! I didn't download pywikipedia but I will do! P.S. look at the function details I updated something!--   PNiddy  Go!  0 00:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * How exactly does it recognise vandalism? Can you provide regexs/methods/etc? Also, how will it detect usernames? Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 00:30, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * How does it do all those things I've said? I asked "How will you identify previous warnings," and you simply replied,"It will do all those things." Will you use regular expressions to identify the html tags on the end of warnings? How long will it take you to publish the source? I'm interested it seeing it ;-). ~   Wi ki  her mit  00:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

It will do those things automatically! But for the comment below your comment (by Wikihermit), It might take about 5 minutes to publish the source! It could warn him/her automatically, I think...--  PNiddy  Go!  0 00:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You need to give us the source code to the bot, now, or I'm going to assume that you don't have any and deny this request. --ST47 Talk·Desk 00:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Here'sthe source code: --  PNiddy  Go!  0 04:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
