→Bots can now override the blacklist on Wikimedia projects?: reply to Lustiger seth |

Line 237:
::* AFAICS the problem at [[#google.*/url]] would not be touched by this proposed change. Actually the problem above is that especially ''new'' users might use google links, because they don't know about the problems. But the spammers we try to bock are new users, too. So having different rights per user group would not help, i guess.

::: @[[User:Lustiger seth|Lustiger seth]] yes, first problem is currently there, but i am very worried that with bots being able to add blacklisted links (think archiving bots and so on) we will have more and more of these problems with vandalised pages where we can’t repair them. Blacklisted links should be removed and/or disabled, not bot-overridden …<br>Not specifically for the google redirects (which with removal of the rules can be added also maliciously, even if then a bot will replace them), but for all urls. Give a bloverride to people with advanced rights and allow them to add any redirect site again so they can be replaced later by bot. Problem then is (as with bot override only) that they can then also add the links that the community agreed that noone should be able to add.<br>(Mainly just thinking out loud :-) ).
