--- Comment #8 from Gurch <[email protected]> 2010-04-11 10:01:28 UTC --- (In reply to comment #7) > At least two steward bots (using stewbot) already access CentralAuth, along > with JavaScript run by several stewards. The rate of CentralAuth actions is on the order of 50 every 24 hours. I'm not convinced it's necessary to run bots for such a small workload. More importantly, I'm not at all convinced it's wise to trust any sort of unsupervised process with actions that have no transparency or oversight. If an adminbot goes mad anyone can look at the log and see that's it's deleting the wrong pages, or blocking the wrong users, and take action. If a steward-bot goes mad... "(log action removed) (crosswiki abuse)". It's an awkward enough situation trusting stewards not to screw up things we can't double-check. Stewards were chosen though a touch election process because these things are important, not to sit and let a bot do them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
