I second this, and like to put emphasis on the "discuss with the
community first" aspect.

I'd also like to add "admit your defeat" and "don't leave the
discussion to unleash your bot if you realise you can't win it". ;-)

Another issue is that bots tend to change tags in the entire planet in one huge changeset, which means that history feeds are polluted. It is quite easy to reprogram the bot so it makes edits locally, i.e. in a primary area subdivision. This would also enable local mappers to verify and deal with changes -- possibly revert changesets -- in their area.

Cheers
