I blocked the original account for containing the suffix "bot" which is reserved for. However, instead of requesting a change of username etc, they have simply created another account with a similar username. As per the admission here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MNbot_9815&diff=prev&oldid=647696066

They are related.

I have blocked both as quacking. I'm raising this for reference and requesting CU to make sure that this is the only bot account that they have created. 5 albert square (talk) 12:36, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I didn't see any other -bot accounts, and it's possible that the second -bot account was created as a misunderstanding of the rules. Their earlier account, with a legal username, appears to need some guidance in their editing, though. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:14, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
