Kindly update ClueBot's coding to automatically AIV report vandals when ClueBot performs a vandalism caution or warning within one day of an account being unblocked. Such an event is grounds for requesting AIV staff to examine the errant user's actions and reblock the account/IP User due to vandalism, if warranted. Wikipedia volunteers must manually report vandals, using such tools as Twinkle, which is certainly taking up our time.
Please see this warning to a user for vandalism, from ClueBot , exactly one year after a one year block was lifted in July 2010. The account has gone on to make several further vandalism edits, including today. Whatever you can do to lessen the workload of wp:CVU project staff will be appreciated by all.

Hey, wanted to call attention to something that was noticed yesterday at WP:ANI#Talk:Slipknot (band). A few months ago, a user left a comment on that talk page, but put it above the bot's archiving instructions. The next time it was time to archive, your bot swallowed up its own archiving info, where it proceeded to make sup-page after sub-page under where it was now located (diffs and links are at the ANI). Is there anything that could be done to the bot script to watch out for this sorta thing? Tarc (talk) 16:24, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

If a user vandalizes my user talk page, can ClueBot revert it? Wayne Olajuwon chat 20:38, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
It's been 12 days so far without activity from ClueBot 1, and I wonder if it is permanently disabled to make way for DASHBot?

I am looking at threads on my TP that haven't been archived in a while, I don't have the full time to look into the templating either. Just wondering what I need to fix. (it seems cluttered right now) -- DQ (t) (e) 02:31, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Consider . Isn't it a bit lenient to go back to a level 1 when the last warning was a level 3 this month and the vandal is registered? Philip Trueman (talk) 01:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
We've been having archival problems as we learn how to use the ClueBot Automatic Archival template. I've just made my latest revision to the implementation on that page. We'd like our topics archived with 10 topics to a page, but I don't see a |maxarchthreads
parameter in the documentation. Is there not one? Why? Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 02:49, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Good day.
Over one-half hour ago, I found and corrected an instance of subtle naughty vandalism, here:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Microcomputer&diff=prev&oldid=392555973
The vandalism involves the string "Jack Kibble-White, Jack "Stand by for a Data-Blast", Off"...
Specifically, the undesirable string is "Jack Off", which has intervening useful content between the two words.
I am reporting this as an example of subtle vandalism so the Wiki bot programs can be programmed to recognize such, and correct it, or to at least alert a human editor. I hope this information can be used by the team of bot software maintainers to improve their programs.
I am an inexpert Wikipedia editor. I am not sure if this sample is worthwhile, or if this is a good place to post it. If not one of these, please tell me if it is unneeded, or where to post it.
Thank you for your valuable time. Jerryobject (talk) 08:01, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
i didnt realize adding "!!!" was vandalism, im sorry and i wont vandalize agian
ClueBot III (talk · contribs) keeps archiving discussions on Talk:Chappelle's Show into Talk:Chappelle's Show 1, as opposed to Talk:Chappelle's Show/Archive 1. From what I can tell, it's been doing this since June 2009. If anyone can figure out why and fix it, it would be appreciated. — ξxplicit 02:11, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Your bot is archiving the most recent discussion threads within few days of their being written. Please make it not do that.·Maunus·ƛ· 01:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like you to please archive my talk page every month so I can have plenty of space in it. Thank you, Ian (talk) 21:33, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
I notice that the userpage claims that User:ClueBot is exclusion compliant, but if that's the case then why/how was this edit made? VernoWhitney (talk) 04:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I am seeing Cluebot adding a header for the current month after one already exists. Is that something that can be fixed or just something we have to live with? Jojalozzo 04:25, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
