You need to get explicit approval to run any bot.
That's it. Anything less than that, and you shouldn't be
running a bot.
Simple. This is the rule for everyone.
Then why didn't anyone, including you, tell me about it when I posted about using bots? If no one knows that rule, it is not the rule.
Again, I am not talking about how to use bots but fairness.
Because it's your responsibility to find out, not mine to tell you. And now you've been told.
Wikipedia is a collaboration--and that collaboration is founded upon the presumption that each participant is responsible for his/her actions. If errors are made, others will help correct them.
You did not know the rule. That does not mean that no one knows the rule.
I'm not blaming you for your action, but you're blaming me for mine.
I am not talking about fairness but about how to use bots.
