"Submit False Positive" button

I'm still encountering the "Article not found" error that I mentioned on Winbots talk page. 24.6.65.83 05:35, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is happening is that the button tries to create a new page but anonymous IP addresses are not allowed to create new page, only edit existing ones. I have contacted the bot owner about this. --_Hdt83 _Chat 06:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suspected it was related to being an IP editor. 24.6.65.83 06:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added more "bad words"

Hello bot owner, I hope you don't mind but I added more "bad words" and increased the sensitivity of the words in User:ClueBot/Source. Your bot is doing some very good work! 71.113.16.114 06:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That list is not where you add more bad words. That list is automatically uploaded by the bot, but the bot does not read them. If you want the bot to have more bad words, please let me know and I will add them. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 16:58, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added your changes to the bot. It will be in effect next time I restart the bot. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 17:15, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bug report: edit conflicts

"Submit False Positive" button

Still not working for IP addresses.

Article not found

This requires an editor to create an account for them to report False Positives.

That problem has now been fixed. -- Cobi^(t|c|b|cn) 00:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, it does appear to be working now. I took the liberty of removing the "or IP address" bits from the registered user instructions, just to avoid confusion. 24.6.65.83 01:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

possible bug (rapid successions of edits)

I've noticed that rapid successions of edits tend to confuse Cluebot's vandalism report log. Here's what just happened (all times are local times):

2007-08-12 19:13:16 - Kerkyt16 (talk · contribs) vandalizes the bull shark article.
2007-08-12 19:13:20 - I see the vandalism and revert the article.
2007-08-12 19:13:22 - Kerkyt16 vandalizes the article again just two seconds later, probably by clicking the "Save page" button multiple times.
2007-08-12 19:13:25 - ClueBot reverts the article this time. I'm guessing that the bot was still trying to revert the first edit when Kerkyt16 vandalized again.

This caused the following to appear on the bot's vandalism log:

Possible vandalism: Bull shark was changed by Kerkyt16 (c) (t) replacing content with 'Local Mann found dead on bottom of teal lake after and apparent Shark attackA shark was planted in teal lake to eat little fish and make the lake good for peop...' on 2007-08-13T02:13:17+00:00 ClueBot 02:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted by ClueBot (contribs) (talk) before I saw it. ClueBot 02:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first edit was actually reverted by me. For the second edit, the bot thinks that it beat itself, which isn't possible! This is not a major issue, but you might want to look into this. --Ixfd64 02:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
