Admin Forum:Flagging bots

Out of plain curiosity why doesnt wikia let burs grant bot status anymore? Thanks, --


 * It can lead to abuse.--
 * So why can't they grant the ability if an admin sends a Special:Contact to lets the burs do that? --


 * Again, allowing bureaucrats to assign a bot flag can lead to abuse and other bad things. It is best managed by staff and requires community consensus so that everyone agrees that there should be a user entrusted the power to make edits that are not seen normally by everyone. If staff manage it, they can make sure there is a community agreement.--
