Whether technically possible or not technically possible, Proxybot was both a sysop and a bot on the cs.wikipedia. His activity is to block ips : http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD%3ALog&type...
Is that suitable that a bot also has a sysop status ?
Perhaps more pertinently, why does this bot need bot status? I don't believe being a bot hides your admin activites from the log or elsewhere.
From experience with ProxyBot
With bot flag, the bot did not clutter RecentChanges. In Block log etc. the activity was still visible.
The reason why ProxyBot was given both sysop and bot status was exactly that - to avoid making RC changes cluttered with robotic blocks.
Indeed, I can't actually imagine any circumstance where a bot needs sysop privileges to *edit*, which is the only area that botship (?) actually affects.
To delete huge ammount of pages.
