[15:30:45] <MH-Discord>	 <DarkMatterMan4500> [Special:CentralAuth/ImportsBot]] [[Special:CentralAuth/ImporterBot]] Are these authorized bots, or no?

[15:42:40] <Reception123>	 @DarkMatterMan4500 there's no global bots policy as such, so there's no such thing as "authorized" bots. The question is whether there's a bot or a person behind the account
[15:43:02] <dmehus>	 Good question; however, as there is no global bot approval regime, all bot accounts are locally approved by whatever local policies may be in place. Note some wikis may have no approval regime in place and that's fine too
[15:43:02] <MH-Discord>	 <DarkMatterMan4500> @Reception123 Okay.
[15:43:04] <Reception123>	 so if the account starts editing like a normal person, that's not okay. The point of that part of the policy is not to have regular users have 'bot' in their names that causes confusion
[15:43:24] <Reception123>	 for example it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be called ReceptionBot but just be a regular user
[15:43:54] <dmehus>	 If we had a report of a problematic crosswiki bot account, we could review that in the same way we'd review a report of a problematic crosswiki abuse or vandalism by a human editor account
[15:44:15] <MH-Discord>	 <DarkMatterMan4500> Alright, but it's good that I asked, right?
[15:44:21] <dmehus>	 yeah

[18:43:24] <MH-Discord>	 <DarkMatterMan4500> Guess I'll forgive that user as long as he doesn't do it again.
[18:44:57] <dmehus>	 SGTM. Best to assume good faith, forgive, and be kind, until users show you, repeatedly, otherwise
