Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Re: your unblock message.

You unblocked MewBot, with this message:

> I've just about had it with being blocked when you feel like it. I have explained the reasons, stop being disruptive.

(1) It's not "when I feel like it", it's "when I notice MewBot making edits that you have not gathered consensus for".

(2) "I have explained the reasons" is irrelevant and arrogant. It doesn't (directly) matter what your reasons are, it only (directly) matters whether there is consensus for your bot-edits. I keep asking you to start specific discussions, and you keep ignoring those requests.

(3) If you feel that the Bots policy is "disruptive", then please start a vote to change it.

In the meantime, if I see further unconsented-to edits from MewBot, I'll re-block it — and since you persist in unblocking it and resuming such edits, I think that in that case I'd also have to temporarily de-sysop you until the situation has been resolved. I'd really rather not have to do that, because you're one of our most skilled technical editors, and aside from this one serious problem, I think you're an excellent admin.

Also, I didn't mention this before, but another issue is that MewBot is making edits at far too high a rate. That's also a violation of policy (both Wiktionary and WMF-wide), but IMHO a much lesser one than that of making unconsented-to edits. Assuming you fix that in the next few days, I won't block MewBot for it. (I think it should be straightforward to make this fix, using time and (especially) sleep from Python's time module. Let me know if you need help with it.)
