TW AIV helperbot
Operator: TeckWiz

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): Perl

Function Summary:This is a backup version of HBC AIV helperbot, running the same source code. However, though it's a backup, it runs full time.

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): The bot will run all day, though it will only edit when an AIV report must be taken away. The most it will usually edit is twice a minute (if all bots are running).

Edit rate requested: 2 edits per minute (except if the other bots go down. Then the rate will probably be 5 per minute)

Already has a bot flag (Y/N):No

Function Details: The bots will all try to take a job, and the first one to get there takes it, with the other ones stopping and waiting for the next job. It removes blocked users from AIV, combines reports, and adds and removes the admin backlog template when a specific amount of reports, specified on the AIV page, is reached. This version is in UTC -5, so as to make it so an operator is almost always available.

Discussion
As I mentioned on my talk page, I don't think we need a fourth instance of this bot. But I have been wrong before. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 15:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * We already have 3 instances of this bot. We don't need a fourth. — M ETS 501 (talk) 15:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
