Since I'm not sure that anybody is minding the shop at SourceForge and I'm certain that developers don't read the wiki-based feature request page, I'm going to make a feature request here:
As it is, when Rambot is running Recent Changes is nearly useless since human generated edits are drowned-out by a flood of automatic edits. Worse yet, is that all these edits are displayed by default. A person has to create a user account in order to use the 'hide minor edit' feature. I'm worried that when Rambot is running that potential contributors looking at Recent Changes will get the wrong idea about our project (and maybe leave before getting that user account).
To combat this, I would like to suggest the creation of a new type of user account that would just be used for bots. To have such an account the bot owner would have to prove that their bot generates good articles, is not harmful to performance (as Ram-Man has) and promise that the account would only be used by the bot and would not be used for anything underhanded (like violating policy by sneaking in POV edits -- I'm sure there will still be people, like me, to sample bot edits to make sure nothing is going awry). Then all edits made by the bot under a registered bot account could be marked with a "B" in Recent Changes and would be not be displayed by default. As it is, the 'hide minor edits' feature is useless for anybody worried about vandalism since non-logged-in users can (for some reason that totally escapes me) mark edits as minor. At the very least I wish 'mark this edit as minor' would be disabled for non-logged-in users (as it was in a previous version of the software).
