Sorry, that list doesn't accept regular expressions. It's a straight list of account names, which, until yesterday, had to go through about twenty minutes of preprocessing before it was useful.
I supposed that's the problem. Anyway, may you do something like: * Check for accounts with the same email address. * If some of the accounts have "bot" in the name (something like "bot($|\W)"), remove them. * If none of the accounts have it, don't touch. * If all of the accounts have it, don't touch.
Maybe we could catch this discussion on wiki - it is an ever returning issue, and the lessons could be valuable for other campaigns too.

Andrew has already produced a very useful summary on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/SecurePoll#Email_spam

I hold 7 votes, at the end: one real account, five bots and one of my auxiliary accounts -- not used for years -- have got right to vote. I have one more account, but I don't think that I made 10 edits with that one.

The rules for editors:[1]
You may vote from any one registered account you own on a Wikimedia wiki (you may only vote once, regardless of how many accounts you own). To qualify, this one account must:
- not be blocked on more than one project; and - not be blocked on the project you are voting from; and - not be a bot http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bot; and - have made at least 10 edits before 1 August 2011 across Wikimedia wikis (edits on several wikis can be combined if your accounts are unified into a global account http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login)
You get one vote, Milos. Your bots do not get to vote. Your auxiliary account does not get to vote, unless you forego voting on your main account.

I am using different accounts for my different personalities. It's true that the most of them are very rigid and narrow, but I think that it would be fair to allow me to vote 7 times, as all of the votes would be different.
