Finally, this is a Wiki, guys. We're here to provide the best public information available about a subject we all enjoy. In other words: You should be editing, not worrying about what the bot says when you type a code! We already have enough distractions with the Mirage Arena and trivial user talk conversations on talkpages- we don't need any more distractions!}} | Finally, this is a Wiki, guys.

{{TNE|time=19:57, 23 April 2011 (EDT)|sadtext=I now reconsider my stance because of a few of the points Xion brought up. For my part, I disagree with the distractions bit. It's ultimately one's personal effort to edit the mainspace &c. with the distractions. But I do remember going on police mode and Xion was brought into a number of our discussions in the past. I therefore change my vote to '''no, unless we can be positive that people know how to use the bot properly.'''}} | |||
@TNE - my point was exactly to miss the point (because there was no point). Nobody does anything on noticeboard except for meetings. Heck, we even talk about more wiki- related things on the social channel than the noticeboard. {{The Inexistentsig}} 22:09, 23 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
{{KrytenKoro|That's because most of the people are being incredibly rude and not idling on the noticeboard like they're supposed to. Hell, if an admin is online, they should already be on the noticeboard. I can't tell you how many times I've asked for help on the noticeboard, only to be ignored for hours; that's why I end up going to social to look for aid. | |||
In short: staff. Staff, it's your blood-forsaken duty to be on the noticeboard channel. If you have time to be online, you have time to be there for people who need help.}} | |||
I'm always on noticeboard when I'm online, except for when I'm not on long enough to warrant IRC (like now). --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 01:21, 24 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
What about if someone improves the bot? Like how the Inexistant said. Just a few commands. Or maybe it can be a "police bot" by warning then kicking then (if a user breaks more rules) ban that user for a few days/weeks/months/forever. If this can't be done, then I rest my case. {{Keyblade0Sig}} | |||
{{Xion4ever|time=17:36, 1 May 2011 (EDT)|text=We actually had a few of these commands/ "police bot" mode you speak of, Keyblade. I clearly remember the "curse word log" the bot could report. (There were probably more of these commands, but I've forgotten them >_<). Problems with your idea of the bot kick/banning people: strict technicalities versus somewhat-loose emotional ties. (the latter part a lack for a better term). I would almost bet that more people here have at least once handled/viewed an important Wiki matter/discussion here with some emotional bias that has clouded their judgment/warped their opinion on the matter. If the bot did have the ability to kick/ban, any user found breaking rules "x" number of times would find themselves kick/banned. Allow me to go further: If for some reason a well-known user was banned from the channel (regardless of why they were banned), there would most definitely be a huge uproar on the IRC/Wiki. Why? It's a well-known user for Pete's sake! | |||
If someone such as myself spammed the channel with messages like "Hey! Look! Listen! We need to finish this page on the Wiki!," the bot would report it in the log. If I continued such actions, the bot would kick and possibly even ban me. Here's the problem: Yes, I did break a rule through spamming- that is indisputable. However, I spammed to raise attention to a certain page on the Wiki. THERE is the controversy: breaking a rule, but for the greater good of something (in this case, the Wiki). | |||
I hope that wasn't confusing. My point, in short is that people (including staff and Channel Ops) handle Wiki problems with some bias- due to our human nature, but we try to properly and maturely handle the problem as best we can-, and without that bias, there would [probably be] problems.}} | |||
{{ErryTalk|time=18:02, 1 May 2011 (EDT)|edea=I honestly have no problems at all with the bot coming back, as long as everyone keeps a sensible stance. And why would people complain about the bot saying their a jerk? It's just a bit of fun. It's not the bot's fault that the recipient is sensitive or takes things to heart at an instant. I say '''yay''', bring it back to the social channel because it was fun. In an empty chatroom, it gets boring. Kitty was the only one there to talk to. Otherwise you would find something else to do, yes I know editing on the wiki's one of those things to do, but then again a person is limited to what they can do. I am in no way limited, I can get a HELL of a lot of information on the game, but sometimes a break is deserved... when it is deserved... not just any second.}} | |||
{{Pea14733|time=12:14, 3 May 2011 (EDT)|stop=I kinda agree with Erry. But this question popped in my head... | |||
'''''"If we had a bot, can you guys handle the use of it?".''''' | |||
The past has given us the answer that is "No". | |||
