[Foundation-l] Bot flagging, stewards, & bureaucrats

[Anthere]

Hello

A tiny point I'd like to raise is the suitability of bots with sysop 
status. I know it is being done in some places, but it seems generally 
frowned upon.

Recently, a sysop bot on cs:wiki started to blocked ip which appeared 
(how ?) to be anon proxies. 6000 blocks for now...

Good idea ? Bad idea ?
