Bot activities
(copied from Newpedia.wikia)

''Hi there -- I'm on Wikia's Community Support Team, and the bot activities on this wiki are concerning. We're not in a position to allow you to create hundreds of thousands of new, empty pages due to it's negative effect on search rankings, our servers, and the reputation of wikis as a whole. If you truly have no plans to actively build this wiki other than simply botting, we may have to close this due to violating our Terms of Use. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:48, September 20, 2011 (UTC)''


 * Hi, following up on what Dopp said above, I'm afraid we can't allow this to continue. These bot edits to add empty pages need to stop, on this and on other wikis. You are welcome to add real content to Wikia, but not to add this vast amount of auto-created non-content. We need to remove these pages, and the quickest way to do that is to close this wiki. As far as I can see, there is no content here that you might want to save, but I'll wait until tomorrow before closing to make sure you have the opportunity to check that. I'm sorry that this didn't work out. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:44, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I copied the above from your Newpeida wiki to here because I'm closing that wiki now and want to preserve this conversation. Again, I'm sorry to remove what you have added, but hundreds of thousands of empty bot-created pages really don't give any benefit to a wiki and are potentially harmful. I'll also look at removing pages on other wikis where you have done the same (sometimes with broken text). Bots are welcome on Wikia, but need to be used carefully and responsibly. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  17:50, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
