editHow does it detect vandalism? Also, most vandalism would have been reverted in two days. LegoKontribsTalkM 22:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Denied. A bot operator must have a familiarity with the English Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and must have the trust of the community. In your time here, you have not demonstrated either; rather, you have spent the majority of your time here playing around in your userspace. If you are serious about this request, come back in a few months after you have had time to build a familiarity with Wikipedia as a normal editor. Anomie⚔ 00:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
