2. I think widespread "bot fixes" should be encouraged to wait 10
days. It's just too easy to make a large change and too hard to fix
it. I'd also suggest that we (as a community) develop tools to make it
easier to demonstrate what an import or bot would do on a test server.
If I had to wait 10 days there is a good chance I would of likely lost
interest. I have been trying to say that there are different levels of bots
and the amount of damage they can do.
If you lose interest quickly, it can't be very important to you.
Maybe "most likely" is a little strong, but I was trying to make a point.
Just because a change is not very important to me, doesn't mean it
is a good change that can make the map better.
Also, it might not be that a lost interest, but rather simply don't
have the time. I may have some time now, but may not in two weeks.
I can fully understand that bots can do a lot of damage. But I was also
very careful and limited the scope of what my bot did. I also have a
clear plan to undue the controversial part of my change if anyone should
object in the future.
I honestly don't think I can say anything else without coming off as a
reckless, impatient, jerk, that wants things done now or never._______________________________________________
