 * Errm.. You do realise AWB is NOT an anti-vandalism tool. Reedy Boy 12:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Then what language should I use? NHRHS2010  Talk  12:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * A language you can program in? --ST47 Talk·Desk 12:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I just found out. Is PHP good? NHRHS2010  Talk  12:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * PHP is just fine. --ST47 Talk·Desk 12:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. NHRHS2010  Talk  12:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, let us know when you're ready for a trial :) --ST47 Talk·Desk 12:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * So how can I be ready for a trial? NHRHS2010  Talk  12:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, a trial is essentially a test, you run the bot until it makes about 50 edits so we can make sure it's working properly. Once you write the bot, you can post here (or say so now if the bot is ready) and someone will come by and approve you. --ST47 Talk·Desk 12:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * So I log into my bot account and do things like reverting vandalisms and make up bot's edit summaries? NHRHS2010  Talk  12:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Um. No. The bot should make the edits, that's the point of the trial. Do you actually have any programming experience? --ST47 Talk·Desk 12:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, this is my first time running a bot. How can a bot make the edit during the trial? NHRHS2010  Talk  13:11, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The same way it will make edits once it's approved? Do you actually know what a bot is? Since I'm not sure you know what you're doing, I'd like to see the bot's code once you're finished with it, please post it in your userspace and post a link. --ST47 Talk·Desk 13:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know what a bot is. I'm trying to create a bot, so how can I get the bot to be on trial? And how do I get my bot code?? NHRHS2010  Talk  13:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's clear that you don't have a working bot, come back when you do. --ST47 Talk·Desk 13:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
