HBC AIV helperbot7

The bot removed one of my AIV reports before it had been seen by an admin. Is it malfunctioning? Fly by Night (talk) 14:49, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I do not run HBC AIV helperbot7, although that looks to be maybe a once off delay with the software. — JamesR (talk) 00:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
My apologies! You run HBC AIV helperbot5, don't you? I assume that they were a family of improving bots run by yourself. Sorry about that. Fly by Night (talk) 09:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sophie, there is a place at Wikipedia:Bot requests to put your bot ideas. Coding and maintaining a bot is probably best done by someone with experience, hence this page has been setup. Sorry for the delay in response. — JamesR (talk) 08:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
