What I'm thinking of instead is some sort of subscription or commitment thing. I've always wanted to build a Wikipedia bot, so likely I'd take this opportunity. Suggestions welcome!
Bot to interrupt any discussion thread at 10K with a message "get back to work, you windbags"; and then at decreasing intervals. Pepper with jobs that need doing.
You are a bad man. And that is a quality I admire greatly.
Hmmmm.... If we made it work like the archiver bots, where you have to invite its interference, that might be enough to make it socially acceptable. At least, it would be somebody else getting yelled at, not me. The question is whether anybody would sign up for it. Still, if I build the rest, that would be a pretty easy feature add.
I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
