== Annoying date/time format requirement ==

Your bot is particularly annoying in that it apparently requires a particular date/time format. However, I will not change the way I format my date/time, so hopefully you will make it smarter or turn it off. I doubt you will do either, but I figured the decent thing to do was tell you about it. --] 5:25 PM PDT 15 Oct 2007 <small>—Preceding ] was added at 00:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)</small><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Ah, thanks for the heads up. I'll see if I can add an exception. Does your day of the month have a leading zero (i.e., your current sig is 15, but when it rolls around to 9, is it 09)? In the meantime, if the bot keeps bugging you, simply visit ] for information on opting out of auto signing.

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
== Signing problems ==


Take the survey ''''''.
Your bot keeps signing for me even though I use the four tildes. The problem seems to be that for some reason my automatic signature doesn't provide the link to my name automatically. So it's not really a problem with your bot, but I'm not sure who to turn to. See, I'll try to sign it and it will probably come up without the link. Buirechain 17:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:It signs for you for the same reason it signs for me, our signatures are actually links to one of our user subpages, not our actual user page. If you ask why the bot requires both a user page link and a time stamp when one or the other would be enough, I would have to agree that the rules seem a bit overly specific for a bot (Hagermanbot was never this strict). You have done nothing wrong, you and I just don't fit into the mould that the bot is expecting to find us :). ] 01:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC) <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) {{{2|}}}</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I hope I don't fit into any mould - they broke it when my parent's made me!

Seriously, though, I'm sure you're right. If the bot's author is unwilling to change it, is there anything I can do to stop it AND still have my name show up red in my Watchlist 'cos I don't have a user page - it is a bit aggravating... ] 01:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
:You can Opt out per instructions at ], but you may be saying that all opt-out options require that your user page exist, which is a problem (To bot owner: the bot should have an opt out option for those without user pages - hint hint. Maybe allow a list of user subpages that will be accepted as user page substitutes).
:Also you may want to make your signature a direct link to your user talk page, that wouldn't affect your watchlist red linking, although it appears that you want the subpage to be built into a user page substitute. ] 02:02, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Since I deliberately do not have a '''User''' page, I have placed the code <nowiki>]</nowiki> on my '''User talk''' page in what I hope will not be a forlorn attempt to disable sinebot from forging my signature.

I had already made my signature a direct link to a ] - which I intend will substitute for my user page - thus keeping my name coloured red in my Watchlist.

Thanks for the care you have taken in trying to assist me resolve this problem - I hope the bot's author is able to reply shortly. ] 05:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Ah, yes, this has been on the to-do list for the greater part of the month, but I've been ridiculously busy. I should hopefully fix this soon, though. I should hopefully have a solution for people linking subpages as well as a non-user page thing that should allow people to opt out from their user talk page. --]<small><sup>\&nbsp;]&nbsp;/</sup></small> 21:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Comment

Regarding slakr:

Why did my page get deleted? Please see Misplaced Pages:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's vandalism? If you received a warning from me and you're not logged in, you might have gotten an old warning I sent to someone who shares your IP address. On the other hand, if you've made recent edits and received a recent warning message from me and you genuinely believe that it's not vandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :)

Regarding SineBot:

Why does SineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed? All comments should have a signature that includes both a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (per signatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr 05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)".

If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. I don't want my comments signed by SineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page? Please use one of the opt-out methods listed on its user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed. Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it really should sign something, so it defaults to not signing it (e.g., in cases of complex edits). It does this to avoid being annoying. Other times, a comment might be made when the bot is down for maintenance, so the bot simply never sees it. SineBot signed something that it genuinely should not have signed. Please let me know-- especially if you think it's not a one-time thing. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. Is SineBot's source code available? Not currently. I'm signing with four tildes (~~~~) but it's still saying I didn't! You likely enabled raw signatures. Open your preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" is NOT checked, and click Save; it should be fixed. If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.
